Roofer in Pakistan: prices and what to ask for

Updated 1 November 2026

A roofer in Pakistan usually charges by the square foot for a concrete (RCC) roof slab, around Rs 550 to Rs 750 per square foot including material and labour. Metal sheet roofs are priced per sheet and per running foot, so the material alone can cost thousands of rupees. To see prices for your own roof, post the job on BlaBlaPrice; it is free for buyers.

Local rules and what to check

Larger contractors in Pakistan register with the government, and the registration sets a financial limit by the cost of the project, with a fee for each category. A roofer working alone may need a trade licence from the local authority; in Sindh the rate list starts at Rs 300 a year in zone A. Ask to see the registration or licence before work starts.

Season and weather

The climate is desert: summers from May to September are very hot, which makes roof work in the afternoon slow and hard for the crew. From November to March the weather is mild. If you can wait, book a roof slab, sheet replacement or repair for these months, when the crew can work a full day.

How roof work is quoted and delivered

Sizes are quoted in square feet and feet, and roofing sheets come in lengths such as 12 feet. Ask whether the price includes the material and delivery to your site, and whether the roofer is in your city or will travel from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad. A price per square foot only means something once the area is measured, so ask who measures it.

What to put in your request

Name the roof type (concrete slab, metal sheet or tiles), the area in square feet and whether the job is new work or repair. Say what the property is (house, shop or factory), the site address or area and the scope of work. If you need a worker on a daily wage or a contract, say so, and say whether accommodation is needed. Mention any work at height, because it changes the price and the safety needs.

Get offers through BlaBlaPrice: describe the roof job in your own words in the chat, add a photo if you have one, and answer the questions the assistant asks. It looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive your request and reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also send the request link to roofers you already know, start a request on the home page, or read how it works first. For related jobs, see construction and finishing works.
