Planning a New Home in Karachi or DHA? Install a Lift During Construction and Save Lakhs

The single best time to install a home lift is during construction. Here is why, and what you need to plan for.

Why Construction Phase is the Best Time

Dramatically Lower Civil Cost

Creating a shaft in an existing home means cutting through floors. During construction, the shaft is simply part of the plan. This reduces the civil cost component by 40 to 60 percent.

Better Design Integration

A lift planned from the beginning can be positioned exactly where it looks and functions best — typically the entrance hall or central corridor.

No Disruption to Your Home

Retrofitting in an occupied home means weeks of dust and noise. During construction, it is just another trade on site.

Future Proofing

Installing the shaft infrastructure now — even without the lift equipment — costs very little and means you can add the lift later with minimal work.

What Your Architect Needs to Know

• Minimum shaft dimensions (we provide these based on your lift model)
• Pit depth at the base: typically 100 to 200mm
• Headroom requirements at the top floor
• Dedicated electrical circuit: typically 16A single phase
