Bungalow in Gulzar-e-Hijri: Maymarian Builders & Developers works from First R1 Lane, A42, Gulshan-e-Maymar, and quotes either a labor rate or a contract with material after seeing the plot. This page is about 10 marla — about 2,250–2,723 sq ft, depending on the marla used. Roughly the 240–300 yard range in Karachi terms. Confirm the exact yardage from the allotment. Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690.
Building in Gulzar-e-Hijri
Gulzar-e-Hijri lies within the Scheme 33 belt off the Super Highway, with mixed plot sizes and houses of different ages on the same street.
Building-plan approval for a society or KDA plot goes through the Sindh Building Control Authority after the land-owning agency confirms title, land use and dimensions.
What we check first here
- Drainage relative to older neighbouring houses
- Corner plots where two frontages tempt too much glass
- Roofs that may later take a mumty or an extra floor
Close to the Maymar office; frequent site visits are realistic.
What a 10 marla house means in Gulzar-e-Hijri
Ten marla in Gulzar-e-Hijri is large enough to sprawl. The part people cannot see in a finish photograph is the lanter, the concrete roof slab.
What usually goes wrong
Asking for a per-foot lanter rate with no span, no steel, and no answer about the floor above it. Those three are the slab.
Labor rate
Labor for the lanter is the carpenters and the steel fixers on that span. It is not the same job as an 80 yard roof. 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 lanter is cement, steel, and thickness. Another floor on top of it changes the steel. We say so before the pour. 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 Gulzar-e-Hijri moves with the covered area, whether the car actually fits the lane, and whether the contract is labor only or with material.

- 01
The plot dimensions, measured, including any cut the road has taken.

Who lives in the house, so the rooms are not a foyer with beds around it.
- 03
Whether the car must enter, and from which side.
- 04
Labor rate or with material.
Labor rate or with material
Call for the Gulzar-e-Hijri rate.
We build Karachi residential houses on common plot sizes — 80, 120, 200, 240, 400 and 600 square yards, plus 5 and 10 marla where that language is used. You can take a labor rate, or a contract with material. The figure is spoken for this plot. It is not printed here because steel and cement move, and so does covered area.
Labor rate
We build. You arrange the material. The rate follows the covered area on the Gulzar-e-Hijri plot.
With material
Labor and material in one contract. Cement, steel, brick and the rest sit in the scope we read with you before work starts.
What you are walking into
- 01
The kitchen is a corridor behind the show rooms.
- 02
Cross ventilation was never asked about.
- 03
The kitchen is an afterthought with no light of its own.
What changes after the visit
- 01
Wet areas share a wall.
- 02
The car is checked against the real turning, not the symbol on the plan.
- 03
The upper floor is either in the structure or it is not promised.
The office
Staged payment is the rule. A quiet site is not financed in advance.

10 marla lanter in Gulzar-e-Hijri
A 10 marla house in Gulzar-e-Hijri is large enough to sprawl. The searches that arrive with it are often about the lanter, the concrete roof slab, because that is the part of the cost people cannot see in a finish photograph.
The lanter moves with steel, cover, bay size, and whether a floor above it is real. We do not publish a per-foot lanter rate. Bungalow on a 10 marla plot includes that slab decision in the written scope, after we have walked the ground.
Corner plots in Gulzar-e-Hijri invite a house that shows two streets and forgets a private court. We keep one side quiet. The second frontage is not a reason to glaze everything.
On this ground
Tariq Mansoor Bangash owns Maymarian. Gulzar-e-Hijri work is run from First R1 Lane, A42, not from a site hut with no name on the gate.
Deliveries for a Gulzar-e-Hijri house follow the road you have, including the weeks it is dug up for someone else’s connection.
It is close enough to Gulshan-e-Maymar for weekly site walks without a separate camp. Streets are mixed: some tight, some open. The method follows the street.
Houses of different ages share a block. Groundwater and roof leaks show up more often than exotic soil problems. We look at the neighbour's courtyard before we set our plinth, because water does not respect a boundary wall.
Building plans and SBCA
In Karachi, residential building plans are regulated by the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) under the Karachi Building & Town Planning Regulations. For a Category-I house, the usual path starts with title and land-use confirmation from the land-owning agency, then drawings prepared and stamped by an SBCA-licensed professional, then a hard-copy submission at the SBCA smart counter (or the automated path where it applies).
Bring allotment, possession, lease or sub-lease, CNIC, site photographs, and six sets of elevation, section and site plans when the office asks for them. SBCA publishes Category-I timelines in days when there is no objection; objections and incomplete papers are what stretch a programme, not a slogan about "fast approval."
Maymarian is a builders and developers company with its office in Gulshan-e-Maymar. We are not the society developer (Maymar Housing Services). We help owners get a buildable house on a plot they already hold — we do not allot society plots, and we do not invent an approval that the authority has not given.
Why rates are not printed on this page
Online posts quote grey-structure and finishing bands for 120-yard houses that swing by tens of lakhs. Those numbers are someone else's quote on someone else's covered area. Steel and cement move. Fill on a Scheme 33 plot is not the same as a settled Maymar lane. A double-storey section is not a ground floor with a wish.
We give a labor rate, or a contract with material, after we know the plot, the covered area, and what is already in the ground. Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690. Ask for the figure for this plot — not for a screenshot from another builder's page.
How a house usually moves
- 01
Papers and a walk
We look at the plot, the lane, and the papers you already have. If the title or the building line is unclear, that is the first conversation — not the elevation.
- 02
Scope in writing
Labor rate or with material. Covered area. What grey structure includes, and where finishing starts. Staged payments against completed work.
- 03
Plan and authority
Drawings for the plot you own. Licensed professionals for submission. SBCA and the land-owning agency on their own clocks — we do not sell a fake shortcut.
- 04
Build and handover
Site supervision, photographed stages, a snag list, and keys that match the set you signed. That is the whole point of "the name of trust."
Questions people ask
Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690. The lanter moves with steel, thickness, and whether another floor sits on it. We give the labor rate or the rate with material for this plot. It is not printed here.
Yes, if the slab is designed for it from the start.
After the visit. Not on the phone.
Yes, when that is where the breeze is. A front veranda that faces a hot wall is not a principle we will defend.
The Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) approves building plans under the Karachi Building & Town Planning Regulations. You also need the land-owning agency to confirm title, land use and plot dimensions before a complete Category-I submission.
No. A printed rate without covered area, fill condition and material scope is how arguments start. Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690 for a labor rate or a with-material figure for your plot.
No. Maymarian is a separate builders company based in the scheme. Maymar Housing Services is associated with the township. Different names, different work.
A modest ground-plus-one house often sits in a months-long programme once drawings and authority steps are clear. Weather, material lead times and finishing choices stretch it. We give a stage plan for the house in front of us — not a universal calendar.
