I am interested in constructing a residence cum office on 1 Kanal in DHA Phase 5. Just wanted to check if there are any restrictions on such usage. My plan is to dedicate full sized basement to the office and ground and first floor as residential. Please note there will not be any signboards, if this could be an issue.
Brother,
I don't think that DHA would allow you to do so. They wont allow commercial activities in the residential area.
And if they would find it, they would penalize you.
So, be careful.
For more confirmation, you can call DHA office.
Hassan,
DHA doesn't allow owners and tenants to operate business from home, it is certain. But making a full basement should not be an issue. You will be fined heavily if you tried to do any such thing.
Any suggestions about a nice area in Lahorewhere I have can have residential cum office?
In DHA full basements allowed and already built on full covered area.
Office or commercial activity strictly not allowed.
We can give you design and construction services if interested contact us.

LDA Schemes usually allow you to use residential property for commercial purposes after paying commercialization fee.
So, you cango for Johar Town which would be easily reachable by the employees as well.
But before buying any property, you need to confirm commercialization matter with the LDA.
I think you can have a ‘home office’ without problem even in DHA. For example if you are a lawyer or architect, you can easily work from your basement. DHA will only object if there are too many visitors and lots of people parking in the area etc.
You can do in Gulberg,Model Town,Garden Town,Johar Town......
If you need any asistance do let me know.

You can start your office but as Mr.Zain said that you have o inform and pay to LDA for that. But still if you are confused then you can directly ask to that management of DHA to make it confirm. There are many more people in DHA who are doing the same thing as basement is used for office and other floors are residential for them.
