Codes, measurement and contracts in Pakistan

Building Code of Pakistan

Structural design follows the Building Code of Pakistan and its seismic provisions, with seismic zones that vary considerably across the country.

Local bylaws and approvals

Building plans are approved by the relevant development authority or building control body, each with its own bylaws on setbacks, coverage, heights and parking.

Measurement and rates

Private projects usually use a BOQ by trade. Public works use the provincial schedules of rates and item codes, and local units such as cubic feet, square feet and running feet are common.

Contracts and procurement

Engineering contracts commonly use the Pakistan Engineering Council standard bidding documents, based on FIDIC, and public procurement follows the procurement regulatory rules.

Questions answered

Can you prepare a BOQ in local units?

Yes. Many Pakistani contractors and clients price in cubic feet for concrete and earthwork, square feet for plaster, flooring and paint, and running feet for items such as skirting. We prepare the BOQ in the units you price in, or in metric for clients and consultants who require it, and can match public-works items to the applicable schedule of rates.

Do you design houses for local plots?

Yes. We design houses and farmhouses for standard plot sizes, laid out to the bylaws of your development authority for setbacks, coverage and height, with structural design to the Building Code of Pakistan. Submission and approval are handled by your registered architect or engineer where the authority requires it.

How does seismic design affect cost in Pakistan?

Seismic requirements vary considerably across Pakistan, from lower-hazard areas to high-hazard zones in the north. Higher seismic demand means more reinforcement, stronger connections and sometimes larger members. Because our engineers and estimators work together, the effect of the seismic zone on steel and concrete quantities is visible early, before the budget is fixed.
