7 marla plot size in DHA
Section 4.a of the DHA Lahore Construction and Development Regulations 2026 gives the 7 marla plot as 30 ft × 52.5 ft = 1,575 sq ft. Section 22.a requires clear spaces of 7 ft at the front, 3 ft at the rear and 3 ft on one side.
- Ground floor: (30 − 3) × (52.5 − 7 − 3) = 27 × 42.5 = 1,147.5 sq ft.
- First floor: section 27.a allows 82% of the ground floor for 7 to 10 marla, so 940.95 sq ft.
- Double storey total: about 2,088 sq ft, within the 39 ft height limit.
Compared with a 5 marla DHA house (about 1,628 sq ft), the 7 marla adds roughly 460 sq ft of covered area.

7 marla under LDA rules
7 marla is in the LDA band of 5 marla and above but less than 10 marla: 75% ground coverage, 3 storeys, 38 ft (clause 2.2.3, LDA Building and Zoning Regulations 2019), with a 5 ft building line and 5 ft rear space (clause 2.2.1).
On a 30 × 52.5 ft plot those spaces leave 30 × 42.5 = 1,275 sq ft, but 75% of 1,575 is 1,181.25 sq ft, so that is the limit. So on the same 30 × 52.5 ft plot, LDA's ground floor limit is about 34 sq ft more than what DHA's clear spaces leave. For the cost of either, use the house construction cost calculator.
