Frequently Asked Questions on Construction Rates in Pakistan

How often are material rates updated in Pakistan?

Nuvailo updates fuel rates in alignment with fortnightly OGRA revision cycles (1st and 16th of each month), bullion gold rates daily, and structural materials such as cement and Grade 60 steel rebar weekly via distributor surveys and manufacturer circulars.

What is the current Grade 60 steel rate per ton in Karachi and Lahore?

Grade 60 deformed billet steel rebar currently averages approximately PKR 258,000 to PKR 260,000 per metric ton (around PKR 258 to PKR 260 per kg) across leading mills including Mughal Supreme, Amreli Steels, and Agha Steel.

How does fuel price impact sand and aggregate transport in Pakistan?

Because sand (Ravi, Chenab, Bolari) and coarse crush (Margalla, Hub, Sargodha) are heavy bulk aggregates, High-Speed Diesel (HSD) represents up to 35% to 45% of delivered site cost per cubic foot (CFT) for dumpers and tractor trolleys.
