For those planning to build their homes, understanding the current cement and steel prices is a vital first step in the decision-making process.
As of November 2024, the prices for top cement brands in Pakistan, including Bestway Cement, Maple Leaf Cement, and DG Khan Cement, have risen to approximately Rs 1500 per bag.
For those seeking more economical choices, some other brands are offering cement at a lower price, around Rs 1400 per bag. This increase in cement prices is a reflection of market demand and the current import conditions affecting the construction sector.
In addition to cement, steel prices are also an essential factor for homebuilders. The cost of 60-grade steel bars is currently Rs 250 per kilogram (kg), with other brands priced between Rs 250 and Rs 255 per kg.
