Ask three suppliers for a brick rate and you will get four answers. Building in Pakistan works like that. Prices shift with cement costs, fuel prices and even the weather.
This guide breaks down the current concrete bricks price in Pakistan, what drives it, and how to buy smart. We put it together with the team at Prime Crete, a Hattar-based maker of machine-made concrete products since 2002.
No made-up numbers here. Every figure below comes from a named source, so you can check it yourself.
What Are Concrete Bricks?
Concrete bricks are machine-made units of cement, aggregates and water. Unlike clay bricks, they skip the kiln. A press shapes them, and curing gives them their strength.
That difference matters more than it sounds. A kiln brick’s quality depends on where it sat in the fire. A pressed brick comes out the same size, batch after batch.
Where Builders Use Them
Prime Crete lists these common uses for its concrete bricks:
- Load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls
- Houses, apartments and boundary walls
- Commercial and industrial buildings
- Schools, hospitals and public projects
Need bigger units for faster walls? Solid concrete blocks and hollow concrete blocks follow the same idea at a larger size.
Concrete Bricks Price in Pakistan Today (2026)
Right now, the concrete brick rate in Pakistan sits roughly between PKR 15 and PKR 25 per unit. The figures below come from the latest Lahore rate list by Niazi Bricks, updated September 2026.
| Type | Price per Unit (PKR) | Price per 1,000 (PKR) |
| Concrete blocks | 19.00 – 25.00 | 19,000 – 25,000 |
| Machine-made bricks | 15.00 – 21.50 | 15,000 – 21,500 |
| Awwal (Grade A+) clay bricks | 19.00 – 22.00 | 19,000 – 22,000 |
| Fly ash bricks | 15.00 – 18.00 | 15,000 – 18,000 |
| Doem (2nd class) clay bricks | 12.00 – 14.00 | 12,000 – 14,000 |
Treat these as a starting point, not a final bill. The list covers Lahore, and the seller notes that rates change daily. Delivery to your site comes on top.
Why Your Quote May Look Different
Size changes everything. A block twice the size of a brick will cost more per piece but fewer pieces fill the wall. So compare the cost per square foot of wall, not just the price tag on one unit.
What Drives the Concrete Brick Rate?
Five things move the price. Some you control. Some you just have to live with, like the weather report.
1. Cement Prices
Cement is the glue that holds every concrete brick together, so its cost flows straight into yours. ProPakistani reported that average retail cement hit Rs. 1,550 per bag in September 2026. That is 10% higher than a year earlier, based on Pakistan Bureau of Statistics price data.
2. Fuel and Transport
The same report says northern cement prices rose Rs. 25 to Rs. 30 per bag after coal and diesel got costlier. Diesel also powers the truck that brings bricks to your plot. A supplier 20 km away usually beats one 200 km away.
3. Size and Type
Solid, hollow and lightweight units all carry different price tags. Hollow units use less material per piece.
4. Quality and Curing
Cheap bricks often skip proper curing. They look fine on day one, then crumble on day ninety. Our guide on how to spot weak or under-cured concrete blocks shows the warning signs.
5. Order Size
Bulk orders often unlock better rates. Ask your supplier for a per-1,000 price, not a per-piece one.
Concrete Bricks vs Clay Bricks: Which Costs Less?
On paper, the gap looks small. Machine-made units start around PKR 15, while Awwal clay bricks start near PKR 19, per the Lahore list above.
The real savings hide elsewhere. Kiln bricks come in mixed shapes, and masons fill the gaps with extra mortar. Uniform concrete bricks lay straighter and faster, so labour and plaster bills tend to shrink.
| Factor | Concrete Bricks | Clay Bricks |
| How they’re made | Pressed and cured | Fired in a kiln |
| Size consistency | Uniform | Varies by batch |
| Starting price (Lahore, Sep 2026) | PKR 15 (machine-made) | PKR 19 (Awwal) |
In short, clay bricks win on tradition. Concrete bricks win on consistency.
How to Estimate Your Brick Budget
Math class finally pays off. For the standard Pakistani size of 9 × 4.5 × 3 inches, you need about 13 to 14 bricks per cubic foot of wall, mortar included (Niazi Bricks).
A Quick Example
- Measure the wall: 10 ft long × 10 ft high × 0.75 ft (9-inch) thick = 75 cubic feet.
- Multiply: 75 × 13.5 ≈ 1,013 bricks.
- Add 5–10% for breakage: roughly 1,065 to 1,115 bricks.
- Price it: at PKR 15–21.50 per machine-made brick, budget about PKR 16,000 to PKR 24,000, before delivery.
Using a different size? Ask your supplier how many units fill one cubic foot, then swap that number in.
Smart Tips Before You Buy
- Ask for a test report. A serious manufacturer tests strength in its own lab.
- Check the edges. Sharp corners and even faces signal a good press.
- Confirm delivery charges in writing, so no surprise bill lands later.
- Store them right. Our guide on how to store concrete blocks on site keeps your stock from chipping before it reaches the wall.
