Grey structure in North Karachi: 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 double storey — plot size varies. Ground-plus-one changes the footing, column sizes and stair. It is not a ground floor with a wish. Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690.
Building in North Karachi
North Karachi is an established district of older sectors and occupied streets. New houses are usually insertions after a demolition.
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
- Old footings and random fill left from a demolished house
- Working hours, lane width and the neighbour's gate
- 1990s frames with good bones and failed bathrooms
Reachable for regular visits; we plan site days around traffic.
What a double storey house means in North Karachi
A double storey in North Karachi 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. A labor rate on grey structure is the mason, the carpenter, the steel fixer, and the helpers. You supply cement, steel, brick, sand, and crush. The stair opening and the toilet drops still have to be in the drawing, or the labor builds a frame the finish cannot use.
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, those same items are in our contract. Steel weight and slab thickness are why two grey-structure quotes on the same North Karachi plot do not match. We name them before anyone orders.
What moves the figure
The grey-structure figure in North Karachi moves with the hole we dig, the span of the lanter, whether another floor sits on it, and how much brickwork is inside the stop line.
Have this ready when you call
- 01
Plot papers and the yardage on the ground, not only in the chat.
- 02
Whether a floor will be added later. That decision is made in this slab.
- 03
Where the bathrooms are. The drops cannot be invented after the concrete.
- 04
Labor rate, or with material.
Labor rate or with material
Call for the North Karachi 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 North Karachi 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
Shuttering is planned across a gate you do not own.
- 02
An old foundation is still in the hole and the programme starts on Monday.
- 03
Brickwork has no stop line, so the finish argument starts inside the structure bill.
What changes after the visit
- 01
We say so if the fill is loose, before the order, not after the crack.
- 02
Brickwork stops at a line you can point at. The finish contract starts there.
- 03
We refuse a cantilever the plot does not need.

double storey house in North Karachi
A double storey house in North Karachi 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. Grey structure either includes the upper floor now or it says the slab cannot take it.
Where an old house has been demolished, the grey structure starts with what was left in the ground. Old footings and random fill are common. We do not pour on top of them to save a week.
On this ground
Tariq Mansoor Bangash’s company takes North Karachi work when the supervision is real.
From First R1 Lane, a North Karachi plot is a visit, not a pin on a brochure.
Sectors are built up. The lane, the neighbour's gate, and the hours you can make noise are part of the method. A drawing that ignores the lane will be redesigned by the lane anyway.
Demolition plots hide old foundations and random fill. We find them before the new concrete. Occupied renovations keep one bathroom working. That is planned, not improvised.
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
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.
Only if the hole agrees. Filled ground gets the footing it needs.
Yes. Cover and curing are in the note.
Only if we designed it to. A hope is not a load.
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.
Call for the rate
Write to the office about the land and the family. The facade can wait. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
