What we build — 01

From grey structure to the front door key.

We are a single-source residential contractor. Architecture, MEP, structure, finishes, and handover are all delivered by Trust Estate teams — never sub-let to a separate construction firm. One contract, one site engineer, one schedule.

New build01 / 03

Custom homes from 500 sq yd up to 8 kanal. Average build, 14 months on a 2-kanal residence.

Renovation02 / 03

Sensitive rebuilds of older Karachi and Lahore homes — including structural reinforcement.

Heritage03 / 03

Restoration work on pre-1947 properties, in collaboration with Sindh Heritage where required.

Process — 02

Six stages, no shortcuts.

A typical project runs eighteen months from first plot visit to keys in hand. Each stage closes with a written sign-off — yours and ours.

  1. ↳ STAGE 01

    Plot visit & feasibility

    We visit the plot, measure it ourselves, and pull soil and bylaw data. You receive a written feasibility note within ten working days — what the plot can take, what it cannot, and a working budget band.

  2. ↳ STAGE 02

    Concept & schematic design

    Six to eight weeks of design. We meet weekly. You leave with three schemes, one preferred direction, and a fixed scope-of-finishes you've signed.

  3. ↳ STAGE 03

    Drawings & approvals

    We prepare full architectural, structural, and MEP drawings, and route them through SBCA / LDA / CDA on your behalf. Approvals typically take 8–14 weeks.

  4. ↳ STAGE 04

    Grey structure

    Excavation, raft, columns, slabs, brickwork, plaster. Roughly 7–9 months on a 2-kanal home. You see weekly photographs and a monthly site walkthrough.

  5. ↳ STAGE 05

    Finishes & MEP

    Stone, marble, joinery, plumbing fixtures, lighting, electricals. Run by our interiors team in parallel with the construction crew, on the same drawings.

  6. ↳ STAGE 06

    Handover & defects period

    Walkthrough, snag list, fix list, completion certificate. We then carry a 12-month defects-liability period — anything that fails is fixed at our cost.
