What a double storey house means in Malir
A double storey in Malir 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 Malir 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.

Labor rate or with material
Call for the Malir 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 Malir 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
Repair and rebuild are one number, so both are wrong.
- 02
A sound frame is being priced as a demolition.
- 03
Adding a floor is being sold as paint and a staircase.
What changes after the visit
- 01
An extra floor waits on a look at the original slab. It is a structural question.
- 02
You get a written scope that distinguishes repair from a new house.
- 03
The lane is checked when the damp is low on the wall. Tiles are not the first answer.
After keys
Weekly reports, staged payments, no disappearing act. That is why we used them again.

They stayed on site until the snag list was closed. Handover matched the drawings we signed.

A small office, but the same people who sat in the first meeting walked the slab with us.

The office
Coastal hardware and a Maymar lane are specified differently, by the office that has stood on both.

double storey house in Malir
A double storey house in Malir 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.
Older Malir houses often need a roof and a kitchen, not a new identity. We resist the urge to clad a good brick wall in a finish that will look dated in five summers.
On this ground
We read the Malir papers against the ground and we show you the line where they do not match.
Deliveries for a Malir house follow the road you have, including the weeks it is dug up for someone else’s connection.
Malir is a longer drive from Gulshan-e-Maymar than Scheme 33. We take the work when the job is large enough to justify the regular site presence.
Soil and standing water are not the same as a Maymar lane. Footings are confirmed on the plot. Trees that are already doing the cooling are kept if the plan can hold them.
Do you build a double storey in Malir?
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.
How do we start a renovation in Malir?
WhatsApp 0321-2000130 with photographs of the room that failed. We visit before we price the finish.
Will you keep the old structure?
When it deserves to stay. You see the opened slab and any cracked beam before we cover them again.
Is renovation the same contract as a new house?
No. The scope says repair, renovation, or new construction. Mixing them is how the price becomes a surprise.
Call for the rate
Ask for a written scope after the visit. That page is what the contract is built from. Labor rate or with material. The figure is on the phone.
