Elegant Design and Construction builds grey structures for homes in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and surrounding societies. The work covers foundation, columns, slabs, brickwork, water tanks, plaster and boundary walls. It stops before wiring, plumbing, tiles and paint, which sit under a separate finishing contract.
Every project runs against a signed BOQ, so your price and scope stay fixed. A civil site engineer is deputed full time on your site from day one. You get a daily update from site and a Structure Stability Certificate at handover. Our head office is in Bahria Town Rawalpindi, with a branch in D-12 Islamabad.
A grey structure is the full structural skeleton of a home. It runs from excavation up to plastered walls and a finished roof slab. It does not include wiring, plumbing, tiles, paint, kitchen work, or doors and windows. Those items sit inside a separate finishing contract.
For a full explainer of the term, read our guide on what a grey structure is in Pakistan.
Scope disputes are the top reason grey structure jobs go sideways. The items below are not part of our grey structure contract. We quote each one separately if you want us to handle it.
Every material entering an Elegant Design site is checked against your signed BOQ. The standard specification for a residential grey structure is as follows.
All work runs against approved architecture and structural drawings. If you do not have drawings, our in house team prepares them. Material sourcing runs through our approved suppliers.
Islamabad and Rawalpindi get their monsoon in July and August. Water tables also sit high through winter in many sectors. A grey structure that ignores this will start leaking by year three. Every Elegant Design grey structure covers the items below.
Supervision is where a grey structure is actually made or lost. Every Elegant Design project runs on the same rules.

There is no single grey structure rate that fits every project. Your quote depends on real variables that any honest contractor can point to on paper. The main ones are listed below.
Every one of these sits inside your signed BOQ, priced item by item. That way you can see where each rupee goes on your project. You can also compare our quote against any other contractor line by line. A per square foot number on its own is not enough to judge a grey structure quote fairly.
We offer grey structure work under two contract models. The right one depends on how involved you want to be, and how much market price risk you want to carry.
We source every material from our approved suppliers and deliver a completed grey structure at a fixed per square foot rate. You get one price, one point of accountability and no procurement load. Most of our clients pick this option.
You buy materials in your own name, and we execute the construction with our engineering supervision and skilled labour. You keep full control of material choice and price at every stage. You also carry the coordination load of keeping the site stocked so pours are not delayed.
The twin cities are not one construction market. Every housing society has its own approval flow. What passes in one sector will fail inspection in another.
We have delivered grey structures across most twin city societies. Our team can walk you through the approval path for your plot at the first site visit.
