House construction 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 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.

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 10 marla house means in North Karachi
Ten marla in North Karachi 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. A labor rate means Maymarian builds and you arrange the material: cement, steel, brick, sand, and crush. You still need a drawing, because labor on the wrong plan is wasted money.
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 means labor and material are one contract. We buy what the scope names, and you are not running to the market between the footing and the slab.
What moves the figure
In North Karachi the figure moves with covered area, one floor or two, whether the contract stops at grey structure, how much fill is in the hole, and whether you chose labor only or material with it.
Have this ready when you call
- 01
The plot papers, and the yardage written on them.
- 02
The lane, so we know how concrete and steel arrive in North Karachi.
- 03
How many people sleep there, and whether the house is one floor or two.
- 04
Whether you want a labor rate or a contract 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
The front elevation arrived before anyone measured the cut at the lane.
- 02
Someone priced a 240 yard house as if it were a larger 120, with the same stair and the same roof.
- 03
Two contractors have walked past the gate and neither asked where the sewer sits.
What changes after the visit
- 01
The plan is drawn for this lane, including the neighbour’s wall.
- 02
Weekly notes include the mistake, not only the progress.
- 03
You can stop at a written grey-structure line and finish later.

10 marla lanter in North Karachi
A 10 marla house in North Karachi 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. House construction on a 10 marla plot includes that slab decision in the written scope, after we have walked the ground.
North Karachi streets are established. A new house is an insertion. Working hours, the neighbour's gate, and the width of the lane decide the method more than the drawing's ambition.
On this ground
If the North Karachi plot is filled, the footing follows the soil in the hole. A detail borrowed from another block is only a guess.
From the Gulshan-e-Maymar office, North Karachi is close enough that the person who walked the plot can still be the person at the pour.
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
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.
No. North Karachi has its own lane, fill, and neighbours. The plan is drawn for those.
Yes. Architecture and construction sit in one office. The drawing and the wall have the same author.
Yes, if that is the scope. The slab levels, toilet drops, and future stair are decided in the concrete, so a later finish is not a discovery.
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
Bring the papers to First R1 Lane, A42. We read the dimensions with you. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
