Renovation 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. A labor rate covers the people who open, rebuild, and plaster. You arrange cement, steel, and brick if the structure needs them. We do not price a paint job as a new house, and we do not price a new slab as paint.
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, replacement of a bath, a lintel, or a slab is in one scope. You can see which lines are labor and which lines are material before work starts.
What moves the figure
Renovation in Gulzar-e-Hijri moves with what we find in the wall, whether an extra floor is even possible, and whether you are asking for labor only or material with it.
Have this ready when you call
- 01
Photographs of the house as it stands, and the year it was built if you know it.
- 02
What must keep working during the job, especially a bathroom.
- 03
Whether you want another floor. That is a look at the existing slab.
- 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
Adding a floor is being sold as paint and a staircase.
- 02
The previous mason closed the wall before anyone found the leak.
- 03
A sound wall is priced as demolition.
What changes after the visit
- 01
The scope says repair, or it says new. Not both in one fog.
- 02
An extra floor waits on the slab we can see.
- 03
The lane is checked when the damp is low on the wall. Tiles are not the first answer.
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. Renovation on a 10 marla plot includes that slab decision in the written scope, after we have walked the ground.
Many renovations here are about a leaking roof and a stair that was never wide enough. We price the roof as its own stage. A new tile floor on a wet slab is not a renovation.
On this ground
If the Gulzar-e-Hijri plot is filled, the footing follows the soil in the hole. A detail borrowed from another block is only a guess.
From First R1 Lane, a Gulzar-e-Hijri plot is a visit, not a pin on a brochure.
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.
We list what exists and price the gap.
Only after the slab is seen.
Yes, when the visit is justified. The office is in Gulshan-e-Maymar.
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. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
