In a recent discussion at the CDB Properties office, Mr. Mujhaid Naseer, COO of CDB Properties, and Mr. Zeeshan Ahmed, CEO of Team Overc’s, provided useful information about how much it would cost to build a basic 5-marla house in Bahria Town by February 2025. The goal was to keep costs as low as possible while still maintaining top-notch quality, making sure clients get a home that’s built to a higher standard.
Understanding the Grey Structure
The grey structure of a house, often called a skeleton, is the most important part of building a home. It has a base, walls, roofs, and basic pipes and wiring. If you try to save money by cutting corners on the basic structure of building a home, it can cause serious problems that can’t be fixed later. That’s why it’s important to focus on quality rather than trying to save money.
