Commercial plaza construction cost
Previously, all articles on cost by Team Overc’s were applicable on residential construction projects only, however there was a very popular demand by our followers for commercial plaza construction cost frame structure. Since Team Overc’s already has a first hand experience of various commercial projects successfully completed in Lahore & Islamabd, hence it is easy for us to guide our followers about the cost of commercial plaza built as frame structure. However most of the method of calculating cost might be the same as in our previous articles and videos, there is one significant change in this video where we have also mentioned quantities along with the per sqft costs. Similarly like previous residential costing videos, this costing video for commercial plaza will also be only for grey structure.
Commercial plaza construction can be done by two methods which should be known before going towards the construction cost of commercial plaza:
Labor contract
A contract in which owner procures material and supervises labor on self help basis. A labor contractor is responsible for arranging required labor to carry out construction procedures. Construction cost is this case is all in hands of owner himself. Final cost of construction will depend upon how well the owner has managed construction process both in regards of material procurement and labor procurement. In this video we will discuss construction cost for this method.
