Difference between Residential and Commercial Construction Costs: A full Breakdown
Commercial construction in Pakistan is not an easy venture to undertake. As a business owner, your head must be brimming with questions about bringing your business goals to life with the ideal professional office building. What is the scope, scale, and objective of your building? What should be the project timeline? How will we choose a prime location? How will the site analysis be performed? Who will oversee documentation and government approvals? And most importantly, what will be the estimated commercial construction cost?
Worry not! Syed Brother’s multi-faceted commercial construction experts help and guide you through every stage very thoroughly. Firstly, let’s take a look at the price breakdown of the commercial building construction cost. Commercial construction costs are relatively higher when kept parallel to residential building prices. The first thing that contributes to the increased cost is the design difference. Where residential projects tend to focus on aesthetics and comfortable accommodation, commercial spaces prioritize functionality and productivity.
10 Rules Syed Brothers follow for Commercial Construction
Our process of commercial construction involves many stages. Starting from the thorough planning of the project with the client’s collaboration and then taking on the intricate design analysis.

And finally our quality assurance measures that make sure you get nothing but the best.
Get Prime Locations for Your Commercial Building
Choosing a prime location for the construction of your commercial project is paramount for your business’s success. Accessibility of the main market, schools, and residential areas ensures a steady flow of potential customers and clients. Such well-located commercial properties also increase the business’s foot traffic and visibility to the main market. Due to these benefits, commercial land is more expensive than land in residential areas. This can significantly increase the commercial building cost.

Important Design Features of Commercial Buildings
When designing such projects we must keep a wide array of people in mind. Unlike Residential construction which is done with only the clients or their families in mind, commercial spaces must be accessible to all. Adhering to the Pakistan Disabilities Act, Syed Brothers make sure that our buildings are easy to access for disabled people. Features like ramps, elevators, and wider doorways are considered.
Exterior Look
A well-designed exterior is like the face of a business, serving as its first impression on customers and clients. It should not only be visually appealing but also functional. Functional design ensures that the exterior space aligns with the business’s operational needs, optimizing traffic flow, accessibility, and safety. This, in turn, enhances the overall customer experience and employee productivity. Use of suitable materials for this can also save you great amounts in commercial building construction costs.
Interior Layout
The interior design of commercial spaces plays a pivotal role in the success of a business. Syed Brothers recognizes the critical nature of these design components and incorporates them seamlessly into all their projects. Well-planned corridors and walkways create efficient pathways, reducing congestion and bottlenecks during peak hours. Elevators and escalators are strategically positioned for accessibility, ensuring that all areas of the building are easily reachable. Stairways, designed with safety and convenience in mind, provide alternate routes and promote physical well-being. Much similar to residential projects, such as our Luxury Custom House Lahore showcases, we excel in architectural design of all styles and tastes.

Adherence to all Laws and Government Guidelines
Commercial construction in Pakistan is a task that is to be undertaken after approval from several authorities. At Syed Brothers, we understand that these regulations are not just arbitrary. They are set to ultimately benefit society as a whole. Not adhering to these laws can have severe consequences. It may lead to costly legal battles, fines, and project delays. Such occurrences can then add more to the commercial building construction cost. Failure to comply with these laws can have dire consequences for the company responsible. For example, reputational damage, harming the image of the construction company and potentially leading to a loss of trust among clients and stakeholders. In the worst-case scenario, where safety regulations are ignored, there’s a real risk of accidents causing harm to workers or the public, which can have dire consequences. We value our clients’ trust above all else. As one responsible and reputable commercial building contractors, we uphold our integrity and ensure 100% compliance with legal requirements.
