Building Control Approvals, Basement Excavation, Grey Structure & Turnkey Villas Across Phases 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6
DHA Islamabad runs on its own Building Control Directorate, and its rules are enforced. Setback lines, covered-area ratios, height limits, basement depth, sewer connection procedure and the elevation design itself all have to be submitted and approved before a single shovel goes in. Work that starts without approval gets stopped — and rectifying it afterwards costs far more than doing it right the first time.
Al Sadat Builders has built across DHA Phases 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, and we prepare the submission set ourselves: architectural drawings, structural design, services layout and the elevation package. Because we handle both the paperwork and the execution, there is no gap between what was approved and what actually gets built on your plot.
Direct supervision by Syed Mujtaba Shah on every site.
DHA is a planned society, but the execution rules are stricter and the inspection gates are real.
Architectural drawings, structural design, elevation package and services layout all go in as a set. We prepare and coordinate the submission rather than leaving you to run between consultants.
DHA enforces its own front, rear and side setback lines plus maximum covered area and height. We test the layout against those limits before finalising, so the design is approvable from the start.
Basements are common on larger DHA plots. They need shoring design, a dewatering plan for the water table, and full tanking — not just a bitumen coat on the outside face.
DHA requires cleared, documented labour and controlled site access. We maintain worker records, keep the site fenced and manage material movement so neighbours and society rules are respected.
Every stage of your project handled by one team, under one contract and one itemised BOQ.

Send us your plot details and we will prepare an itemised BOQ for DHA Islamabad with no obligation.
We handle it. Al Sadat Builders prepares the architectural drawings, structural design, elevation package and services layout, then coordinates the submission to the DHA Building Control Directorate. If you already have an architect's design, we work from those drawings and prepare the structural and submission package around them.
Yes. Basements are common on larger DHA plots and we build them regularly. The critical parts are shoring design for the excavation, a dewatering plan for the water table, and proper full tanking on the external faces. A thin bitumen coat on a basement wall is not waterproofing — moisture will find its way through and you will be dealing with damp and efflorescence for the life of the house.
DHA sits at the upper end of Islamabad rates because of stricter finishing expectations, deeper excavation where basements are involved, and premium material specifications. We quote from an itemised BOQ with named material brands, not a blanket per-square-foot number, so you can see exactly where the money is going and adjust specifications deliberately.
Yes — we work across Phases 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. Each phase has its own bylaw nuances and inspection process, so tell us your phase and plot number when you enquire and we will confirm the specific requirements that apply.
