Build
Construction and renovation
Grey structure to turnkey, costed in writing before work starts and paid against completed milestones.
What this covers
Concretely, what you get.
Grey structure
Foundation, columns, slabs, block work, and the plumbing and electrical conduiting that has to be right before anything is finished over it.
Turnkey construction
Grey structure through to a finished, habitable house: flooring, joinery, fittings, paint, and the finishing decisions that determine whether a build feels considered or improvised.
Renovation and extension
Adding a floor or a portion, reworking a layout, or bringing an older property back to a lettable and liveable standard.
Drawings and approvals consultancy
Guidance on architectural and structural drawings, and on the approval process that applies to your plot and your society: advisory support through the process, without any claim about its outcome.
Material specification
What grade of material a line item assumes, written into the costing. A cost comparison between two contractors is meaningless if the specification behind it is not stated.
Site supervision
Regular supervision against the drawings and the specification, with progress reported to you rather than waited for.

Who it's for
You will recognise yourself here.
- Plot owners in Scheme 33, Ahsanabad and Gulshan-e-Maymar ready to build
- Owners who have been burned by a contractor who left at grey structure
- Families adding a floor or a portion to an existing house
- Landlords bringing an older unit back to a lettable standard
- Overseas owners who need the build supervised while they are away
What you provide
What we will need from you.
- Ownership documents for the plot or property
- Any existing drawings or approvals already obtained
- Your requirement: number of floors, portions, and intended use
- A decision on finish level, which is the single largest driver of cost
- Availability for stage inspections, or a nominated representative if you are away
How it runs
The sequence, start to finish.
- 01
Site visit and scope
We see the plot or the existing structure, understand what you want built, and establish what is actually feasible on that site.
- 02
Drawings and specification
Drawings agreed, and a written specification stating the grade of material assumed for each part of the work.
- 03
Costing in writing
A written costing against that specification, along with what is included and what is explicitly excluded. Work does not start on a verbal figure.
- 04
Staged execution
Construction proceeds in defined stages. Each payment is released against a milestone that has actually been completed and inspected: never in advance of the work.
- 05
Handover
Final inspection against the specification, snag list closed out, and handover.
Questions
What people ask about this.
Against a written specification, before work begins. The specification states the grade of material assumed for each part of the work, and the costing states what is included and what is excluded. We do not publish rates, because a rate quoted without a specification behind it is not a real number.
Against completed milestones. A stage is inspected, confirmed as complete, and then the corresponding payment is released. Payments are not taken ahead of the work they correspond to.
Changes are normal. They are handled as a written variation to the scope and costing, agreed before the change is executed, so the effect on cost and sequence is visible to you at the time rather than at the end.
We provide consultancy on drawings and on the approval process that applies to your plot and society, and we support you through it. We do not guarantee any approval, and you should treat anyone who does with caution.
Both. Renovation, extension and portion work is a substantial part of what we do, particularly for landlords preparing a unit and for families adding space to an existing house.
