Our Grey Structure Construction Services
Grey structure is the structural shell of a building. It’s everything that goes up before finishing work starts. DBL breaks this into distinct sub-services, each supervised as its own stage rather than rushed through as one lump job.
Site Preparation & Foundation
Every successful project starts with a solid foundation. We carry out site layout and marking, excavation and earthwork, PCC and footings, foundation waterproofing, and backfilling with soil compaction according to approved structural drawings. This stage establishes the stability required for the entire building.
RCC Structural Framework
The reinforced concrete (RCC) frame is the structural core of your building. We construct RCC columns, beams, and tie beams, roof slab casting, staircase, and steel reinforcement using quality materials and proper reinforcement to deliver a safe and durable structure.
Brick Masonry & Wall Construction
Our masonry team builds accurate, plumb, and durable walls that define the layout of your home or commercial building. Every wall is constructed with precise alignment and proper bonding for structural integrity, including external walls, internal partition walls, boundary walls, lintels and chajjas, as well as door and window openings.
Roofing & Waterproofing
We complete the structural roof system with careful concrete placement, curing, and waterproofing measures to protect the building from moisture and increase its lifespan. This stage includes roof slab finishing, waterproofing treatment, parapet walls, roof insulation preparation, and water tank bases.
Quality Control & Project Supervision
Quality is monitored throughout every construction phase. Our engineers supervise site activities, verify structural specifications, inspect workmanship, and keep projects on schedule while maintaining safety standards. This includes site supervision, material quality checks, structural inspections, progress monitoring, and BOQ and drawing compliance.
Our Grey Structure Construction Process
DBL follows a fixed, BOQ-based process for every grey structure project. Here’s what to expect:
Consultation and Site Assessment
We visit your plot, review any existing drawings, or start the structural design from scratch. You get a detailed BOQ-based quotation before you commit to anything.
Structural Design and Regulatory Approvals
Our team prepares the structural drawings and handles approvals with CDA, RDA, DHA, or Bahria Town, depending on your location. We specify approved brands for steel, cement, and aggregate right in the contract.
Phased Construction with Engineer Supervision
We complete the foundation, superstructure, and roof in separate phases, each supervised by our engineer. Rebar gets signed off before every pour.
Milestone Reporting and Client Updates
You get progress photos and video walkthroughs at every milestone. Overseas clients get the same updates as anyone on-site.
Structural Completion and Handover
Before handover, we walk through wall alignment, slab levels, utility rough-ins, and a full punch list with you. Nothing gets signed off until you're satisfied.
Why Choose DBL as Your Grey Structure Contractor
Many firms offer grey structure construction in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Here is where we do things differently:
01
BOQ-based Pricing
You see the exact quantities and costs before construction starts, not after.
02
Site Supervision at Every Stage
A qualified engineer checks foundation depth, steel placement, and curing, not just the finished slab.
03
Local Experience
DBL has built grey structures across Islamabad, Rawalpindi, DHA, and Bahria Town, so our teams know the soil conditions and approval requirements specific to these areas.
04
Clear Communication
You get scheduled updates instead of chasing your contractor for progress reports.

Grey Structure Cost in Pakistan
Grey structure cost is quoted per square foot of covered area, not per Marla or Kanal of plot size. The rate depends on your design, structural load, material grade, and site conditions. We don’t quote a flat number without seeing your plot and drawings first.
Factors that affect your grey structure cost:
- Number of floors and basement (if any)
- Soil type and required foundation depth
- Steel and cement grade
- Site access for machinery and material delivery
- Location within Islamabad or Rawalpindi (DHA and Bahria Town sectors)
Steel and cement prices in Pakistan change often, so online estimates go stale quickly. Request a BOQ-based estimate based on your actual plot and design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in grey structure construction?
Grey structure includes foundation, RCC columns and beams, brick masonry, roof slab, lintels, and concealed electrical and plumbing conduits. It does not include tiles, paint, or fixtures. Those come under the finishing stage.
What is the grey structure cost per square foot in 2026?
Rates in Islamabad and Rawalpindi generally range from PKR 2,800 to PKR 3,800 per square foot, though this varies by soil condition, structural design, and material grade. Get a BOQ-based quote for an exact figure specific to your plot.
How long does grey structure construction take for a 10 Marla house?
Most 10 Marla grey structure projects take 4 to 6 months. Weather, soil conditions, and material availability can shift this timeline slightly.
Do you provide a BOQ before starting grey structure work?
Yes. DBL prepares a detailed Bill of Quantities before construction begins, listing every material, quantity, and cost so you can plan your budget with confidence.
Can I hire a separate contractor for finishing after DBL completes the grey structure?
Yes. DBL hands over the grey structure ready for finishing work, and you're free to bring in your own interior or finishing team. If you'd prefer one contractor for the entire build, our turnkey construction service covers both stages.
