Do you know how many types of construction contracts are used in Pakistan?

Pakistan mainly has 2 types of construction contracts.

1) Turnkey Contract

If you are the kind of person who is short on time due to a restrictive job or someone who easily gets overwhelmed by any arduous work then continued monitoring of building a house could be very taxing for you. If you want your dream house constructed at an affordable price while retaining the complete plan and vision you had for it in your mind but still do not want to be burdened with the responsibility then Turnkey Construction is a solution to all of your problems. The turnkey contract is more common in Punjab especially in twin cities.

In this contract, the landlord or landowner provides the building plan and the pre- proposed plan of the project to the contractor. In this case, the contractor has most of the responsibility to manage the labor and the cost. So basically, without having your everyday routine disturbed you can easily enjoy the entire process of construction a new house with the only addition of checking up on the contractor and asking for weekly reports.

This method of getting your house built is a lifesaver for all the people with social anxiety out there and introverts or simply people who find building a house a very taxing activity and can not spare time for it due to their immensely busy schedules.

BUT it is still suggested to not restrict yourself to only one house contractor. Try to get a second or third opinion too. Especially before you have signed the contract. Make sure you have conveyed every necessary information properly to the house contractor and have it written down for clear communication purposes in future.

2) Labor Contract

Are you the kind of person who doesn’t easily trust others with their work even if you are paying them a hefty amount? Do you like to manage and take charge of the activities so that you want things to get done your way? Then the Labor Contract is 100% for you.

It would be your responsibility to arrange the labor and purchase all the material to build a house. You have to personally supervise all the work done by the labor so that every step of work is executed adequately as per your demand. Construction of a new house requires complete devotion of time, strategizing properly, envision and financial planning. Planning helps to effectively reduce major construction costs from your construction expenses. It also reduces the chances of low quality work by the house contractor.
