What a double storey house means in Buffer Zone
A double storey in Buffer Zone is decided in the first slab: the stair, the toilet drops, and the weight of the upper floor. If the house is already standing, the first job is to look at that slab.
What usually goes wrong
Promising the first floor later, on concrete nobody designed for it.
Labor rate
Labor for two floors includes the stair. A hole with no stair is not a complete structure. On a labor rate we build the bungalow and you arrange the material. The veranda and the stair are still drawn first. A labor gang cannot invent them on site without costing you the room they occupy.
With material
With material, the upper floor is in the steel of the first slab, or it is refused. It is not implied. With material, we supply what the bungalow scope lists and we build it. Shade, the roof, and the wet areas are in that list. A glass front is not a substitute for a veranda that works in June.
What moves the figure
A bungalow rate in Buffer Zone moves with the covered area, whether the car actually fits the lane, and whether the contract is labor only or with material.

Maymarian builds Karachi residential houses on 80, 120, 240, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 square yard plots. You can take a labor rate, or a contract with material. The figure is given on the phone, for this plot.
Labor rate
We build. You arrange the material. The labor rate follows the covered area on the Buffer Zone plot.
With material
Labor and material in one contract. Cement, steel, and the rest sit in the scope we read with you.
What you are walking into
- 01
Wet areas are scattered, so the plumbing crosses the whole plan.
- 02
Bedrooms open onto the drawing room. There is no quiet end of the house.
- 03
The kitchen is a corridor behind the show rooms.
What changes after the visit
- 01
A modest bungalow is allowed to be modest. Fewer rooms that can hold a bed.
- 02
The servant yard stays if you need it.
- 03
One court, not two performances.
After keys
Weekly reports, staged payments, no disappearing act. That is why we used them again.

A small office, but the same people who sat in the first meeting walked the slab with us.

They stayed on site until the snag list was closed. Handover matched the drawings we signed.

The office
Coastal hardware and a Maymar lane are specified differently, by the office that has stood on both.

double storey house in Buffer Zone
A double storey house in Buffer Zone is decided in the first slab. The stair, the toilet drops, and the weight of the upper floor have to be in the concrete. Promising the first floor later, on a slab nobody designed for it, is how the argument starts.
If the house is already standing and you want a floor added, that is a look at the existing structure, not a paint job. Bungalow either includes the upper floor now or it says the slab cannot take it.
Bungalow in Buffer Zone follows this ground. Plots in Buffer Zone punish a plan copied from a 240 yard Maymar house. The rooms become corridors. We would rather draw fewer rooms that can hold a bed.
On this ground
A Buffer Zone price asked for on the phone is a guess. The visit is what turns it into a scope.
We do not publish which sector of Buffer Zone is best. Two plots on one road can differ by a metre of fill.
Buffer Zone lanes are narrow. Shuttering and a mixer have to be sequenced so the neighbour’s gate still opens.

Do you build a double storey in Buffer Zone?
Yes, when the structure is drawn for two floors. Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690 for the labor rate or the rate with material. An extra floor on an old slab waits until we have seen that slab.
Can the bungalow be double storey?
Yes, if the slab is designed for it from the start.
Is a bungalow the same as house construction?
A bungalow is a single-family house. House construction is the wider contract. If you want this shape of house, say so and we scope that.
Can the veranda face the side?
Yes, when that is where the breeze is. A front veranda that faces a hot wall is not a principle we will defend.
