Renovation in Scheme 33: 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 Scheme 33
Scheme 33 is a large KDA scheme along the Super Highway that holds dozens of cooperative housing societies. Two plots a kilometre apart can belong to different societies with different layout plans and road levels.
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. In Scheme 33, check which society or agency issued your papers before you trust a builder's verbal 'approved' — SBCA has published lists of societies and projects it treats as safe.
What we check first here
- Filled plots and loose made-up ground — the footing has to follow the soil in the hole
- Roads that are still finding their final level against your plinth
- Water and sewer positions that differ from the society plan
Next door to Gulshan-e-Maymar, so many Scheme 33 plots are a short drive from the office.
What a double storey house means in Scheme 33
A double storey in Scheme 33 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 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 upper floor is in the steel of the first slab, or it is refused. It is not implied. 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 Scheme 33 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 Scheme 33 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 Scheme 33 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
A new floor finish is planned on a slab that is still wet.
- 02
A wet slab is about to receive a floor finish.
- 03
A sound wall is priced as demolition.
What changes after the visit
- 01
If the frame deserves to stay, we keep it. If it does not, we say why.
- 02
The roof is its own stage. It is not hidden inside a tile package.
- 03
An extra floor waits on the slab we can see.
The office
Copyright in our drawings stays with the company until a commission says otherwise.

double storey house in Scheme 33
A double storey house in Scheme 33 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. Renovation either includes the upper floor now or it says the slab cannot take it.
Renovation here is usually an occupied ground floor with a family upstairs, or a house that was left at plaster. Work is staged so one bathroom stays usable. That is a site problem, not a brochure line.
On this ground
Search interest in Scheme 33 is usually a plot the family already owns. That is the job we take.
The Scheme 33 house should still be legible in ten years: regular bays, a stair that was drawn, a roof someone can walk.
Travel from our Gulshan-e-Maymar office is short enough that the same site engineer can hold the job. Access inside Scheme 33 depends on the block. We visit before we programme concrete.
Some Scheme 33 land is filled. Footings follow that fact. We do not reuse a Maymar footing detail on a plot that sponges underfoot. The plinth is set to the road you have, including the monsoon level of that road.
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 after the slab is seen.
We list what exists and price the gap.
WhatsApp 0321-2000130 with photographs of the room that failed. We visit before we price the finish.
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
Call 0321-2000130 or 0321-2000690. WhatsApp only the first. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
