Red Brick Price in Pakistan – 29 September 2025 Update

Bricks (laal eent) remain the backbone of Pakistan’s construction sector. Whether someone is building a small 3-marla house in Multan or a commercial plaza in Karachi, the first step usually begins with bricks. As of 29 September 2025, the rate of 1,000 red bricks in Pakistan is hovering between Rs. 14,510 and Rs. 16,800, depending on city, quality, and the kiln you’re buying from.
This range may look steady on paper, but if you ask any local contractor, they’ll tell you prices shift every few weeks—mainly because of fuel costs and transportation.

Types of Bricks in Use
- A+ / First Class: Smooth, even, strong — used for main structural work and visible front walls.
- A Class Standard: Good for homes and small projects; a little less refined but still reliable.
- B Class: Cheaper, often used in boundary walls or inner partitions.
- Katchi (Local): Lower durability, mainly used where strength is not critical, like fillers or temporary sheds.
Why Are Brick Prices Rising?
- Fuel Costs: Most kilns use coal or gas. Whenever fuel becomes expensive, kiln owners immediately pass it on.
- Transport: The farther you are from the kiln, the more you pay for delivery.
- Seasonal Demand: Right after monsoon, construction activity picks up, pushing demand higher.
- Urban Expansion: Cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are expanding rapidly, which naturally drives up demand.

Buying Tips for Home Builders
- Go Direct: Always try to buy from kilns directly rather than small dealers to save margins.
- Sound Test: Strike two bricks together — a good one gives a sharp ringing sound, not a dull thud.
- Uniform Size: Uneven bricks create wastage in plastering and cost you more in cement.
- Bulk Orders: If you’re building a whole house, negotiate for a discount — kiln owners usually adjust a few hundred rupees per thousand in bulk deals.
- Delivery Costs: Don’t forget truck charges; sometimes a “cheaper brick” from another city ends up costing more once freight is added.
