If the soil is too loose, you will require a deeper excavation and a refilling of the plot area. If the soil is too hard, you will need to break it down with larger machinery before laying the foundation of your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Designing the Layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"The floor layout must be approved before construction of the house\" class=\"wp-image-65046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-7-5.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Design a Floor Plan That Meets Your Requirements<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, in order to properly follow all the technical steps involved in building a house, you need to hire a designer or an architect. Some housing societies might even facilitate you by offering their layouts and floorplans for your particular plot. Remember that while you may have some set requirements with regards to the house being built, there might be constraints in bringing your vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, communicate all your expectations and requirements to the designer beforehand so that the plan can accommodate them in advance. This includes the number of rooms you require, the number of floors you want in the structure, and so on. Make sure your plan is approved before you begin construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Applying for Utilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Water, Gas and Power are basic utilities for every home\" class=\"wp-image-65042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-1-17.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Apply for Electric, Gas and Water Connections in Advance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming up next in our step-by-step guide to building a house is applying for the key utilities that you will require, including power, water, and gas. In some areas, you might require a water tank, a backup generator, or a gas cylinder to compensate for a shortage of these utilities and you will need to plan for these circumstances accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Constructing the Foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"The first step to building a house is to lay its foundation\" class=\"wp-image-65045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-6-7.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Having a Strong Foundation is Important for a Long-Lasting Structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The practical stages of home construction actually begin when you lay the foundation of the house. Excavation is done, and concrete is poured into the base, which then needs time to dry completely before further construction can be done on the plot. Then you can erect the frame or the general structure of the house as per the approved plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Polishing the Exterior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"It is important to strengthen a structure using plaster\" class=\"wp-image-65041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-2-17.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Exterior Finishes Will Add to Your Home&#8217;s Appearance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the frame of the house is built, it\u2019s time to work on the exterior finishes. From plastering the walls to fitting the roof tiles, all of it needs to be done keeping the curb appeal of the home in mind. You can even choose to use textured paint for your exterior walls or get brickwork designs carved into it for added finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Fitting the Interior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Hire expert plumbers and electricians to help you wire the house and add the pipes.\" class=\"wp-image-65044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-17.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>All Plumbing and Wiring Fixtures Need to be Fitted in Place<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the exterior structure of the home is ready, the next in the step-by-step guide to building a house is to work on the interior. From painting the walls to installing the flooring, there\u2019s a lot to be done in this step. Plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, electrical wiring, and all the doors and windows of the home need to be added into the structure at this point so ensure that the home is ready for its finishing touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Finalising the Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Use colour cards to choose which shades of paint you require for the home\" class=\"wp-image-65047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-8-3.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Choose the Right Colours for Your Interior to Get the Best Ambiance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up comes the task of making the home more liveable. This includes painting the interior in the colours that you\u2019ve chosen in advance to make it more homely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in addition to adding a touch of paint, every under-construction home has a messy and unkempt look to it that is unappealing. You do not want to move into a house that looks like it is still being built. Most contractors, though, will generally clean up after themselves before handing the house over to you for a final inspection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Decorating Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Add cosy touches around the house to personalise it\" class=\"wp-image-65058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-5-b.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Decorate Your Home So That It&#8217;s Ready to Move In!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, once all of the construction aspects are complete, you are free to decorate your home with the colour scheme of your preference. Apply wallpaper to your walls, spray a wall in your chosen custom designs, or bring in the furniture that you need to make life more comfortable within your new abode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of steps involved in building a house, and we\u2019ve discussed each of them in our step-by-step guide to building a house so you can take on the challenge while being fully aware of the tasks that await you and your contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s just one thing left after Step 8: Moving In!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drop us an email on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"mailto:blog@zameen.com\" target=\"_blank\">blog@zameen.com<\/a> if you have any queries and stay tuned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Zameen Blog<\/a> for more informative property blogs.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After buying a plot in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or any other city in Pakistan, the first thing people worry about is how to go about the construction process.
