Grey-structure cost is the question owners ask when they want a number before finishes exist. Treat it as a scope band, not a discounted “house price.” You are pricing the shell defined on the grey structure service page.
This article is about cost drivers. For what is in the package, read what is included in grey structure. Mixing those two conversations is how cheap grey quotes quietly omit plaster or MEP rough-ins.
Run the Cost Calculator with grey structure selected. Plot size still matters: a 5 Marla grey shell and a 10 Marla grey shell are different covered areas. Storeys and custom covered area override rumour PKR/sqft.
Grey bands are typically tighter than luxury turnkey because finishing uncertainty is smaller. Location still adjusts the band (Islamabad, Rawalpindi, premium society). Soil and access can too — those are planning multipliers, not society rate cards.
Compare side by side on Grey vs Semi vs Turnkey, then look at grey-structure projects for delivery proof. Historic spend on a Park View or Enclave job is not today’s quotation.
How the range is produced — and what is excluded (land, society charges, basement, landscaping) — is on estimator methodology. Rates were last checked in August 2026.
When drawings exist, we convert the band into a BOQ. Until then, use the calculator and the Cost Guide, not a Facebook “grey rate” screenshot.
