Awami Villas - A house for every Pakistani

[suhaib]

As you should know Malik riaz is pakistans richest man and first billionaire and is also the brains behind Bahria town, the biggest real estate developers in Asia.

* Billionaire, in terms of dollars.

not is he just a billionaire but also a intelligent man and a great thinker combined with a patriotic heart for pakistan.

now this guy has set off to his next mission. It is a big mission because it will provide every pakistani with a home.

he will build 8000 awami villas every year all over pakistan, the houses will be fabricated and made in a factory. (preb houses)

the link below shows the whole process how they are constructed.

these are the houses which combated poverty in the usa, lets hope they can do the same with pakistan.

malik riaz has allready ordered his fabricated plant from malaysia, the malaysians will run the plant for the first year and will later hand it over to malik riaz's pakistani team on TOT basis.

the price for 2 bedroom houses will start at 5 lacks (£5000) in rawalpindi and finace will be given with it, so all you pay is a tiny Rs. 2000 (£20) per month for 20 years

the scheme is a non-profit scheme and malik riaz is doing for pakistan. the first batch has allready been announced which will be located in rawalpindi and have 5,000 villas, the location will be right infront of defence phrase 2. (the new hot and happening posh area of islamabad/rawalpindi).

100 villas have also been announced for the quake hit muzzafarabad. which is a test after 1000's more will be lauched in all quake hit areas in kashmir.

the awami villa community will have all the latest facilities you can enjoy in any posh citys, like clubs, gyms, communitee centers, commercial areas and schools which will provide education free of charge.

now lets take a look at some pre-fabricated houses and see how they will look.









these are all pre-fabricated houses in usa, and should look like these.



rawalpindi villas, launched, these are 2 bedroom villas on 5 marlas.



more info on them from bahria town.

Pre-fab houses are cheap and quick to construct! seems like a good idea - lets hope it goes ahead

[suhaib]

they are also appropiate for quake threatened areas and they take 3 weeks to construct.

[Nauman]

When is he setting up his plant?

[pakistani_banda]

one thing....if this meant for all pakistanis ...then how will the poor be able to pay RS 2000 per month...........though this is a good idea of combating poverty...................

i dont like the design of the houses, they are too westernised. There should be a bit of eastern flavour in the design

I dont think they will look like the houses above - they are just examples of Pre-fab housing and since America is full of them i think it was easier to get an american example

I even said no jokes in post 11 BUT i guess it was there for the taking

I hope they know what they are doing - i mean its easy to make mistakes with Pre-fab buildings if you have much experience with it!

[suhaib]

Which Mistakes?

Its like a Mega Ikea job! i have had to do put together desks and drawers - and its unbelievable how much mistakes you make if you are not careful!

Im just hoping they dont build it so they fall down later down the line! insha'allah all will go well

[suhaib]

well thats why the malaysian team will do it for 1 year and then hand it over when bahria town will have good experience for it

[Geordie Ahmed]

That makes sense! i look forward to seeing how this goes - nice that someone is willing to give a bit back to Pakistan

Do keep us posted on this development

[Nauman]

Well I dont know wether Riaz saab has started to make them yet but army has started on these houses over in Muzafarabad and Balakot and must say they look pretty neat.

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

the pics look like the trailor homes they have here in the U.S
