What a double storey house means in New Karachi
A double storey in New 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 New Karachi plot do not match. We name them before anyone orders.
What moves the figure
The grey-structure figure in New 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 New Karachi rate.
Maymarian builds Karachi residential houses on 80, 120, 240, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 square yard plots. You can take a labor rate, or a contract with material. The figure is given on the phone, for this plot.
Labor rate
We build. You arrange the material. The labor rate follows the covered area on the New Karachi plot.
With material
Labor and material in one contract. Cement, steel, and the rest sit in the scope we read with you.
What you are walking into
- 01
The stair opening is a hole. The stair itself was left for someone else to invent.
- 02
An old foundation is still in the hole and the programme starts on Monday.
- 03
Curing was a verbal promise. The concrete has already gone pale.
What changes after the visit
- 01
You pay the hole, the steel, the slab, and the brick as separate facts.
- 02
A mumty or a future floor is either in the structure or it is refused. It is not implied.
- 03
Each stage is photographed, including the cover.
After keys
A small office, but the same people who sat in the first meeting walked the slab with us.
Ahmed Raza, Bungalow Eleven, Gulshan-e-Maymar
They stayed on site until the snag list was closed. Handover matched the drawings we signed.
Imran Habib, Azure House, Clifton
Weekly reports, staged payments, no disappearing act. That is why we used them again.
Tariq Farhan, Palm Court, Seaview
The office
We stop when the papers and the ground disagree.

double storey house in New Karachi
A double storey house in New 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.
Grey structure in New Karachi follows this ground. New Karachi work is often a house from an earlier decade, or a plot where an old house came down. Renovation and a new frame both start by opening what is already in the ground.
On this ground
If the New Karachi plot is filled, the footing follows the soil in the hole. A detail borrowed from another block is only a guess.
New Karachi sits in the part of Karachi this office already works. We do not fly a crew in for a single slab.
New Karachi is an established drive from Maymar. The constraint is the street you turn into, which may already be full of gates.

Do you build a double storey in New Karachi?
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.
Is brickwork included?
Up to the written line. Finish is another decision.
Do you price a lanter in New Karachi?
Yes, as part of grey structure, after we know the span, the steel, and whether a floor sits above it. No printed per-foot card.
Will you use a standard footing in New Karachi?
Only if the hole agrees. Filled ground gets the footing it needs.
Call for the rate
A photograph of the lane is enough to know if Saturday is worth it. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
