Description
Introduction As Pakistan’s population and urbanization rates continue to grow rapidly, the demand for affordable, fast, and durable housing solutions has never been higher. Readymade homes, also known as prefabricated homes or modular houses, have emerged as a revolutionary housing option in the Pakistani market. Silver Steel Mills is proud to be a leading manufacturer and supplier of readymade homes in Pakistan, offering innovative, customizable, and cost-effective living spaces for every need.
1. What Are Readymade Homes? Readymade homes are residential structures that are manufactured off-site in sections and then transported and assembled at the final location. These homes use high-quality materials such as prefabricated steel, sandwich panels, gypsum boards, and other lightweight components to ensure structural integrity, thermal insulation, and aesthetic appeal.
Types of Readymade Homes:
- Single-unit modular homes
- Multi-storey prefab homes
- Expandable container homes
- Portable living cabins
- Eco-friendly solar homes
2. Why Readymade Homes Are Gaining Popularity in Pakistan
- Speed of Construction: These homes can be installed in a matter of days or weeks.
- Affordability: Lower labor and material costs compared to traditional RCC construction.
- Customizability: Wide variety of sizes, styles, and layouts to match client preferences.
- Sustainability: Use of recyclable materials and energy-efficient designs.
- Mobility: Some models are portable and can be relocated.
3. Readymade Homes Price in Pakistan (2025 Estimate) Pricing depends on size, material quality, insulation, number of rooms, and design complexity.
| Home Type | Size (Sq. Ft.) | Price Range (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Studio Cabin | 150–300 | 500,000 – 1,200,000 |
| 1-Bedroom Modular Home | 400–600 | 1,200,000 – 1,800,000 |
| 2-Bedroom Prefab House | 700–1,000 | 2,000,000 – 3,500,000 |
| Expandable Container House | 800–1,200 | 2,500,000 – 4,200,000 |
