How Much Does a 5 Marla House Cost in Sector H, Bahria Town Lahore? – 2026 Price Guide

If you are asking how much does a 5 marla house cost in Sector H, Bahria Town Lahore, you are asking the right question at the right stage — before you pay. Most buyers look at the plot price only, and then they are surprised by the construction cost. The honest answer is that a 5 marla house in Sector H costs what the plot costs plus what the house costs, and both parts matter. This guide works through both, so you can see the full budget before you decide.

Sector H is a newer sector of Bahria Town Lahore, on Raiwind Road, directly opposite Gate No. 6 of Bahria Orchard Phase 2 and close to Adda Plot. It has gained attention because it offers 5 marla possession plots at prices that many first-time buyers and small investors can reach, and because Bahria Town management has approved ground-plus-two-floor construction in this sector. That approval changes the maths of a 5 marla house here in a real way, and this guide explains how.

The Short Answer: What a 5 Marla House in Sector H Costs

A 5 marla house in Sector H Bahria Town Lahore costs roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 2.00 crore all in as of November 2026. That figure is the plot plus a complete house, and it is indicative — the exact total depends on the plot you buy, the size of the house you build, and the finishing you choose.

The two parts of that total are simple. A 5 marla plot in Sector H is roughly PKR 37 lac to PKR 50 lac, based on published guides, with some guides noting a starting point of around PKR 45 lac. A complete double-storey 5 marla house with A-grade finishing is roughly PKR 1.23 crore to PKR 1.47 crore, based on current published construction cost guides for Bahria Town Lahore. Add the two together and you get roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 1.97 crore — which is why the headline range is roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 2.00 crore.

If you build three floors, which Sector H allows, the covered area rises to roughly 2,700 to 2,800 square feet, and the construction cost rises with it. If you choose standard finishing instead of A-grade, the construction cost falls. And if you buy a ready-built 5 marla house in Sector H, the price will be set by the seller, not by this maths — but this guide still helps, because it tells you what the house cost to put together, and whether the asking price is fair.

The Plot: What a 5 Marla Plot in Sector H Costs

Sector H offers two main residential plot sizes: 5 marla plots and 8 marla plots. The 5 marla plot is the most popular size for first homes and for investors buying their first plot. A 5 marla plot measures about 25 by 45 feet, with a plot area of around 1,125 square feet.

Published guides put 5 marla plots in Sector H at roughly PKR 37 lac to PKR 50 lac, with some guides noting a starting point of around PKR 45 lac for a 5 marla plot. These figures are indicative as of November 2026 and can change. Always confirm the current asking price for the exact plot you are considering, because two plots in the same block can differ in price by several lakh depending on location, size details, and whether the plot is on open form.

Sector H has two main blocks for residential plots: Hali Block and Ghalib Block. Both blocks offer 5 marla plots, and many of them are possession plots available on open form, which means you can take possession and start building. That is a real advantage over a file or affidavit plot, where possession is still to come. When you compare two plots, check the possession status first — a possession plot and a file at the same headline price are not the same purchase.

For comparison, the average 5 marla plot across all of Bahria Town Lahore was asking around PKR 79.52 lac as of the Zameen Index September 2026 release. Sector H sits well below that average, which is why it is one of the lowest entry points into Bahria Town Lahore. A 5 marla plot in Sector B, the oldest sector, runs roughly PKR 52 lac to PKR 78 lac — so Sector H saves you a meaningful amount on the land, and that saving is what makes the total house cost in Sector H so attractive.

The Construction: What It Costs to Build a 5 Marla House

Construction cost in Lahore is calculated on the covered area — the total built-up floor area across all storeys — not on the plot size. A double-storey house on a 5 marla plot usually has around 2,000 to 2,250 square feet of covered area. In Sector H, the ground-plus-two approval takes that to roughly 2,700 to 2,800 square feet if you build all three floors.

Current published construction cost guides for Bahria Town Lahore, with rates last checked in early November 2026, put the cost of a typical double-storey 5 marla house complete with A-grade finishing at about PKR 1.23 crore to PKR 1.47 crore. The grey structure alone — the frame of the house before finishing — comes to about PKR 58.2 lac to PKR 69.6 lac for the same house. Other published guides put the grey structure rate in Bahria Town Lahore at roughly PKR 3,000 to PKR 3,600 per square foot, which works out to roughly PKR 6.0 million to PKR 7.5 million or more for a 5 marla grey structure of about 2,000 square feet.

The finishing level is what moves the total most. Standard finishing runs about PKR 6,000 to PKR 7,000 per square foot, and premium finishing runs about PKR 7,500 to PKR 9,500 per square foot and above. As a rough rule, the grey structure is around 45 to 55 percent of the total cost, and the finishing is the rest. If you build three floors in Sector H, the covered area grows to roughly 2,700 to 2,800 square feet, and the construction cost grows with it — roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 1.90 crore for a complete three-floor house with A-grade finishing, by the same per-square-foot rates.

These are estimates from published calculators using current general Lahore rates, not a final quotation. The final figure comes after your drawings, a site visit, and a written BOQ from your contractor. A contractor adds their own profit on top, usually 15 to 20 percent. Start work only after Bahria Town approves the map, and get the latest written by-laws from the Bahria office before you design, because Bahria has its own building control rules on setbacks, coverage, floors, and height.

The Total: Plot Plus House in Sector H

Putting the two parts together gives you the real budget for a 5 marla house in Sector H.

For a double-storey house, the maths is: a plot at roughly PKR 37 lac to PKR 50 lac, plus a complete house at roughly PKR 1.23 crore to PKR 1.47 crore, giving a total of roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 1.97 crore as of November 2026. For a three-floor house, using the ground-plus-two approval, the maths is: a plot at roughly PKR 37 lac to PKR 50 lac, plus a complete house at roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 1.90 crore, giving a total of roughly PKR 1.97 crore to PKR 2.40 crore.

On top of the plot and the construction, budget for the extras: transfer charges, possession charges, utility connections, the architect's fee, and the map approval fee. The transfer charges for a plot in Bahria Town Lahore are a real cost, and they should be part of your budget from the start. Get the total cost in writing from your consultant and your contractor, not just the headline price of the plot or the per-square-foot rate of the construction.

Compare this total with the price of a ready 5 marla house in a settled sector before you decide. A ready 5 marla house in Sector G, for example, runs roughly PKR 2.50 crore to PKR 3.10 crore as of November 2026. A 5 marla house built in Sector H at roughly PKR 1.60 crore to PKR 2.00 crore costs less — but it costs you time, because you have to build it, and Sector H is still developing. The right choice depends on whether your priority is the lowest total cost or a house you can move into tomorrow.

Why Sector H Suits a 5 Marla House

The main reason Sector H suits a 5 marla house is the ground-plus-two approval. Most 5 marla houses in Bahria Town Lahore are built over two floors, with about 2,000 to 2,250 square feet of covered area. In Sector H, you can build a third floor, taking the covered area to roughly 2,700 to 2,800 square feet. That extra floor is a real gain: it can be a third bedroom floor, a separate portion for a joint family, or a rental portion that pays part of your costs. A 5 marla house in Sector H is roomier than buyers often expect, and that is a genuine advantage of this sector.

The second reason is the plot price. At roughly PKR 37 lac to PKR 50 lac, a 5 marla plot in Sector H is one of the cheapest entry points into Bahria Town Lahore. That low land cost is what keeps the total house cost down, and it leaves more of your budget for the construction itself — which is where the quality of the house is decided.

The third reason is possession. Many 5 marla plots in Sector H are possession plots available on open form, so you can take possession and start building without waiting for a development stage. In a newer sector, that is not something to take for granted. Check the possession status of the exact plot before you pay, and confirm the dues and the plot number allocation.

What to Check Before You Buy or Build in Sector H

Before buying a 5 marla plot in Sector H, check the seller's ownership, the plot's status and dues, and the transfer process. Ask for a clear breakdown of all charges: transfer fee, possession charges, utility charges, and any outstanding dues. Get the total cost in writing, not just the headline price.

If you are buying from overseas, these checks matter even more. Ask for documents and verification before sending any payment, and use a trusted consultant who can verify the plot on the ground. A short video of the plot and its street, showing the plot number board and the surrounding area, is a simple step that can prevent a costly mistake. Never pay a booking amount on the basis of a single photograph or a verbal promise alone.

Before you build, talk to an architect early, even before buying, so you know what kind of house the plot can support and whether its shape and direction suit your plan. Confirm the ground-plus-two approval for your exact plot, get the latest written by-laws from the Bahria office, and get a written BOQ from your contractor before you start. Steel, cement, and brick prices in Pakistan change month to month, so a rate quoted today may not hold next month — lock the BOQ in writing.

Also consider the sector's development. Sector H is a newer sector, on Raiwind Road, and it is still developing. The streets, parks, and utilities are coming up, but it is not a fully settled sector like Sector B. If your priority is a ready neighbourhood with everything already open on your street, a developed sector may suit you better — and it will cost more. If your priority is the lowest total cost and you are comfortable with a developing sector, Sector H is worth a serious look.

Who Should Build a 5 Marla House in Sector H, and Who Should Wait

A 5 marla house in Sector H suits a first-time buyer or a small family who wants the lowest total cost of a house in Bahria Town Lahore, who is comfortable building, and who sees the value in the ground-plus-two approval. It also suits an investor who wants a plot that can be built into a three-floor house, with a rental portion that pays part of the cost.

Sector H may not suit a buyer who needs to move in immediately. Building takes time — a double-storey 5 marla house typically takes 8 to 10 months from start to finish — and the sector is still developing. If you need a ready house today, a ready-built 5 marla house in a settled sector is the better route, even though it costs more. There is nothing wrong with choosing a different sector. The right choice depends on whether your budget, your timeline, and your patience for development match — not the one that sounds most impressive.

Whatever your budget, avoid rushing. Visit the sector, compare several plots in Hali Block and Ghalib Block, check the paperwork, get a written construction quote, and take a second opinion before paying. A 5 marla house is a large purchase, and a few extra days of checking are always worth it.
