Overview
The 40x80 plot is the largest standard plot below 1 kanal in most of Islamabad's G, I and F sectors. It suits large families who want six or more bedrooms, a double unit or a basement, without paying 1 kanal prices. In late 2026, 40x80 plots asked from about PKR 1.5 crore in sectors still under development, such as F-14, to more than PKR 9 crore in D-12.
For the wider picture of the city's sectors and societies, read Milkiyat's Islamabad property and investment guide. This guide explains the 40x80 plot size in marla and square yards, sets out prices by sector in 2026, and covers house design, covered area, construction cost and how 40x80 compares with 50x90.
40x80 Plot Size in Marla and Square Yards
40x80 plot in square yards
A 40x80 plot covers 3,200 square feet. The 40x80 plot in square yards is about 355.6 square yards, which is why listings often describe it as "356 yards".
40x80 plot is how many marla?
The 40x80 plot size in marla depends on which marla is used, which is why the answer to "40x80 plot is how many marla" varies between listings.
| Marla size used | 40x80 plot in marla |
|---|---|
| 225 sq ft (common in listings and societies) | About 14.2 marla |
| 272.25 sq ft (traditional marla) | About 11.75 marla, often rounded to 12 |
Most Islamabad listings call a 40x80 plot 14 marla, but some, especially in F-14, call it 12 marla. Always compare plots by dimensions and square yards rather than the marla label.

40x80 Possession Plot for Sale in Islamabad
A 40x80 possession plot for sale in Islamabad is one you can build on now. G-13 and D-12 offer full possession, and G-14/4 has had possession delivered, while possession in parts of G-14/1 to G-14/3 is still pending.
In F-14, 40x80 plots are cheaper because development is still in progress. One F-14/4 listing noted that development works were expected to be delivered by 2029 and that several installments had already been paid. Buyers there should treat the plot as a long-term holding.

40x80 House Design
A 40x80 house design in Islamabad is usually a double-storey house, often with a basement, built as two independent units so that one floor can be rented out or used by a second family.
| Feature | Typical 40x80 house |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms | 6 to 8, usually with attached baths |
| Layout | Double unit with a kitchen and lounge on each floor |
| Extras | Drawing and dining rooms, servant quarter, store |
| Parking | Three to five cars |
| Optional | Basement, solar system, lawn at the front |
Corner plots allow windows on two sides and more design freedom, which is why they ask a premium.
40x80 Covered Area Islamabad: What the Plan Allows
The 40x80 covered area in Islamabad depends on the approved building plan, which sets the maximum ground coverage, setbacks, height and basement rules for each sector. In practice, double-storey 40x80 houses in G-13, G-14 and D-12 typically have about 4,500 to 5,500 sq ft of covered area, and more with a basement. CDA and FGEHA building regulations apply in their sectors, and the CDA publishes its rules on its by-laws and regulations page.
40x80 House Construction Cost in Islamabad
| House | Approximate covered area | Approximate construction cost (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Double storey | About 4,500 sq ft | About 2 crore |
| Double storey, larger | About 5,500 sq ft | About 2.45 crore |
| With basement | Add about 1,600 to 2,000 sq ft | Add roughly 70 to 90 lakh |
These figures are a Milkiyat.com estimate based on construction rates of about PKR 4,450 per sq ft in October 2026, covering grey structure, finishing and labour but not approvals or design fees. You can run your own figures with Milkiyat's construction cost calculator.
40x80 plot with basement
A 40x80 plot with basement adds useful space for parking, storage, a gym or a separate rentable unit. Basements cost more per square foot to build because of excavation, retaining walls and waterproofing, and must be shown on the approved building plan.

| D-12 | About 9.8 crore | About 12.85 crore (D-12/2 avg) |
