I’m going to share with you the complete construction cost of a 3 Marla house – for single story, double story, and even with a basement!
But before we begin, I want to clarify one thing: In my previous videos, when I shared the cost of a 3 Marla house, I used the same finish quality standards that are often used in 1 Kanal houses.
For example, if a 1 Kanal house uses a tile worth Rs. 10,000 per meter, I assumed the same tile would be used in a 3 Marla house too.
Many people rightly pointed out in the comments that 3 Marla houses often use more economical materials, so the cost estimate seemed too high. I agree with this point.
That’s why I’ve adjusted the finishing cost slightly lower, to better reflect realistic market choices for smaller homes.
