The last time I went there (about 15 days ago) the basements were completed and the construction had reached 3-4 floors above ground. It has 23 floors but 4 of them are below ground so 19 are above ground, its a shame that it will be only 200ft tall (Just because of the height limit crap).

LAHORE: A division bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan Monday ordered the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general to submit the complete record of under construction multi-storey plazas in the city.

The bench comprising Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday and Justice Raja Fayyaz issued contempt notices to Town Planning Director Hafiz Moinud Din, Town Planner Abdul Rehman and Architect Mansoor Ahmad Qazi for submitting false documents to the court.

The court issued these orders on a petition by a citizen, Farooq Hameed, against the construction of a multi-storey plaza, Boulevard Heights, in Gulberg.

Earlier, the Town Planning director produced a notice issued by the LDA regarding the plaza's construction.

Advocate Shahid Karim on behalf of the plaza owner said since the verification certificate was received from Designer Ziaud Din Mian, he would be responsible for any unpleasant incident.

When the court asked Mian whether he was the plaza's designer, he said designers were Dr Opal and Dr Nazir, however, the verification certificate was issued by him.

The court observed that for a multi-storey plaza, its structure was of utmost importance because it might cause the death of a large number of people.

The court observed that it was a serious issue that the LDA did not regulate the construction of multi-storey buildings and if construction of such buildings continued without any check, the LDA director general would be held responsible.

Illegalities found in Boulevard Heights
BY SAJID ZIA
LAHORE - A Division Bench of the Supreme Court hearing a petition Tuesday took a serious note that LDA was not following the laws with regard to the approval of plazas and multi-storey buildings in the city.
Hearing the plea moved by a citizen Farooq Hamid, through advocate Mansoor Ali Shah, to question standard of construction of a 23-story commercial plaza, Boulevard Heights at the Main Bouleverd, Lahore, the court found with regard to the BH a number of discrepancies and illegalities on the part of LDA about the approval of the construction plan, the site office, stability and environmental protection certification as required under the LDA regulation 9(iii) as well as lack of supervision and inspection of the site every week and at every phase of construction.
The Court noted with surprise that the Town Planner and the Director Town Planner did not even know the law whose requirement they were bound to fulfil with regard to the construction of a plazas or multi-storey buildings.
The fact also alarmed the court that the Authority did not have any department of Construction Engineers who would visit a building to ascertain how solid its constructed was going on not to ever become hazard to the public life.
The Court during the course of hearing also found forgery of record even to extent of dispatch register of the LDA which the Court had called to know veracity of the claim made by LDA officials about sending approval certificate for the said plaza.
Justice Ramday put queries to the LDA officials why they failed to follow the regulations but he found them all 'telling tales,' and 'not coming up with the truth'.
Justice Ramday said substandard construction of plazas was a permanent threat to the life of thousands. This was happening as the LDA did not care about the laws it framed to provide quality construction and to keep life of the people safe. If the government can not make the department obey the laws, why it had framed them, Justice Ramday remarked and added, here the LDA was not using the rules to implement then but was exploiting the same to cover up its own misdeeds and irregularities. Is it duty of the Court to ask the department to implement the law, the judge posed a query.
The Court tended to suspend the LDA officials as not worthy to stay in the office but legal Adviser to the LDA Muhammad Ghani apologised for their deeds against assurances that the DG will himself take serious action against them and in future, steps would be adopted to strictly allow construction of plazas in city as per rules and regulations.
He referred to an LDA meeting wherein he said a committee had been constituted to inspect quality of construction of plazas in association with Nespak.
Justice Ramday remarked better the LDA should be closed down if this department had to put life of the people at serious risk while minting money by way of violating law.
Director General Muhammad Raza Abbas assured the Court that every thing will done according to the law from now onwards.
For the BH, advocate Shahid Karim and Construction Engineer Dr Younas Opal told the court about the plinth level construction of the plaza Shahid said that the owner was ready to pay the penalty and even pull down the construction which was being stated as illegal above the plinth level.
Dr Opal on a query requested the court not to stay construction of the plaza below zero-level since a half of construction under the ground, will negatively effect the building. He however suggested the name of Mushtaq Bilal Consultants, AA Associates and a UK firm Hilbro for engaging them to the examination of quality of material being used in construction as well as quality of the construction so that court could get an independent view to satisfy itself on the stability of the building.
Requiring Shahid to contact the said companies for the purpose, the court adjourned the hearing till Wednesday (today).

Construction of Boulevard Heights: SC takes notice of ill-built plazas

LAHORE: The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general to submit a detailed report today (Wednesday) whether the rules were being followed in the construction of the Boulevard Heights in Gulberg.

The court was informed that the plan for this plaza was approved on October 23, 2004. The court remarked that building laws were not followed in the construction of the plaza and apparently the plan was approved under some pressure.

The court observed that it looked as if the rich had no need to take safety measures while constructing plazas. “The deputy director (planning) doesn’t not know the rules; we can’t force him to learn rules; it is his duty. The officials who do not know the rule deserved to be sacked.” The court remarked that if that was the LDA’s performance, it should be closed down. “The slackness of the officials could cause the loss of human lives, but they had no regard for human lives.” The LDA’s attorney said that the DG was newly-appointed. The court, rejecting the justification, said that, “The officials do not know whether the plazas are constructed according to the rules or not, they just sit in offices and issue directions.”

The counsel assured the court that from now a weekly inspection would be made about all such constructions. The court remarked if the whole country collapsed, a similar answer would be the answer of these officials. “We have to look after the welfare of the country and there is no compromise on it.” The court on Monday asked for details of all plazas being constructed in the city, and on Tuesday the town planner requested for more time.

The court said that the LDA had never prepared such a list, which was its duty. staff report

SC orders LDA DG to ensure Boulevard Heights’ stability

LAHORE: The Supreme Court ordered the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general to ensure the stability and quality of Boulevard Heights, a commercial building being built in Gulberg. The court directed LDA to seek assistance from construction experts m/s Mushtaq and Bilal Associates and submit a report on their opinion on September 12. Petitioner Farooq Hameed had complained that the plaza was being built illegally. “The builders dug a pit, which weakened the foundations of surrounding properties including my house,” he added. The court ordered that the construction experts also estimate the damage caused to the petitioner’s house. “The plaza’s construction was started on the court orders and will continue,” said the court. The LDA should ensure rules were implemented in the building of multi-storey plazas and the Punjab chief minister should make laws in this regard, it added. “It is the court’s duty to ensure safety against natural calamities, particularly considering the devastation caused by the October 8 earthquake and the Margalla Hills tragedy.” The court directed LDA to appoint structure engineers to supervise the construction of plazas instead of town planners. “Drain builders should not be allowed to construct commercial buildings,” it said. The LDA director general should also initiate disciplinary action against officials not implementing rules and submit a report at the hearing, it added. “It is deplorable that the LDA has no record of multi-storey plazas and no report by a structure engineer or building inspector has been presented in the current case.”

SC asks Punjab CM to frame building code

BY SAJID ZIA
LAHORE - A Division Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan comprising Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday and Justice Raja Fayyaz Ahmad Wednesday required the Punjab Chief Minister to arrange legislation within a month to ensure that all plazas and multi-storey buildings in the province are fully stable and earthquake proof and that their construction is free of environmental hazards.
Taking the matter in the public interest while hearing a petition filed by one Farooq Hamid, the Bench through the Advocate General Punjab, Aftab Iqbal Choudhary, has also sought a legislation, aimed at protecting rights of the multiple owners of shops, offices, apartments etc in a plaza/multi-storey structure in the city in case of any eventuality as was faced by those who owned flats etc in Margala Tower, Islamabad, which collapsed in the October 8 earthquake, leaving them high and dry. And that how these buildings would be maintained in case of multiple owners occupying them, the court, requiring the legislation on this too, stressed the need for the government to keep itself abreast with the developments and situation pertaining to tall buildings in the world so that proper measures could be adopted to tackle the changes.
As the Bench had earlier found a number of irregularities on the part of Town Planner, and Directors Town Planner LDA about the supervision and documentation of Boulevard Heights, against which the petition was moved, the Court directed the Director General LDA, Muhammad Raza Abbas, to take disciplinary action against the delinquent officers and report it to this court. The court said it would itself go for the action if laxity was shown to them.
The DG has also been directed to ensure that all plazas in the City are strictly developed as per the requisite construction stability, environmental safety and design with particular consideration for parking space. The court asked the LDA to create with immediate effect the post of Structure Engineers in the department whose recruitment would come through the Public Service Commission and they would be appointed instead of the Town Planners, whom the court has found misfit for the job of determining stability of a building.
As to the BH, the Court has stayed its construction above the plinth level and allowed continuation of the same below that in the public interest. One M/s Mushtaq&Bilal Consultants has been appointed to examine stability of the building structure and other matters which need to be observed to keep the building away from becoming a public hazard. The said company will furnish report to the court within one month and the expenses of the expert opinion would be born by the owner of plaza. The court has also sought assessment of the damage caused to the house of the petitioner, adjoining the BH, with special reference to whether the same was factually, caused by the improper piling in the basement in the plaza.
When AG requested the court to direct other provinces to follow the same principles, Justice Ramday remarked: the judiciary never liked the trend encroaching upon the territory of the others. He said it was the duty of the government to act in this behalf and as far as this court was concerned, its job was to identify the wrong and suggest its treatment, which the executive has to carry out.
In deference to the court direction, legal adviser to the LDA, Muhammad Ghani presented a list of 412 plazas set up in the city. Addressing the LDA officials, Justice Ramday remarked that when construction of a plaza at Main Boulevard was not up to the rules and regulations of the LDA what havoc the LDA had played with those in Shah Alami, Johar Town etc, could be readily assessed. The judge remarked that LDA officers had even tried to cheat the court.
The DG told the court that acting upon the instructions of the federal government, the department had sought from the Nespak drafting of the remedial measures whereof the buildings could sustain shocks, etc. The court, however, found that eight months have since elapsed and nothing concrete had come out in this regard and the illegal constructions during that period had been on in the city. For God sake, have pity on the poor whose life would constantly be in danger from the construction raised, violating the law, while the owners of the buildings had meanwhile disappeared after filling their pockets, the judge added.
The Court adjourned further hearing of the case till September 12, requiring the AG and the DG to come up with the compliance report on its directions on that date.
Shahid Karim advocate and Construction Engineer Dr Younsa Uppal appeared for BH. Mansoor Ali Shah represented the petitioner.

SC stays construction of Boulevard Heights



Staff Reporter

LAHORE: The Supreme Court of Pakistan Wednesday stayed the construction of Boulevard Heights in Gulberg, Lahore.

A bench comprising Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday and Justice Raja Fayyaz Ahmad directed the chief minister to ensure implementation of building rules in construction of multi-storey buildings.

The judges said that it was courts' duty to ensure safety against natural disasters. The court directed that instead of town planners, civil engineers should be appointed through the Public Service Commission to supervise construction of multi-storey buildings.

The court directed the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general to initiate disciplinary action against officials responsible for poor construction of Boulevard Heights.

The court directed that experts' assistance should be sought and a report should be submitted to the court on September 12. The court observed that the LDA had no record about the construction of Boulevard Heights and there was no report by a structure engineer or building inspector.

The court observed that chief minister should be conveyed to legislate for the implementation of building laws, adding that multi-story buildings had been constructed without any rules or records for the last many years and there should be someone to look after the sewerage, water supply and other problems of these buildings.

The court said the government should not forget the tragedy of Margala Towers.

The court observed that the government should run the state affairs according to law, adding that the judiciary could only point out discrepancies.

High-rises: SC orders govt to ensure legislation




By Our Correspondent

LAHORE, July 19: Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Wednesday observed that the Punjab government was required to ensure legislation and framing of rules and by-laws on the construction of multi-storey commercial centers and high-rises so that their structures had the required quality, strength and amenities.

Presiding over a three-member bench of the apex court, the Chief Justice of Pakistan ordered the director-general of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) to ensure quality construction of Boulevard Heights, a commercial plaza on the Main Boulevard, Gulberg, Lahore. The court also directed him to obtain the assistance of experts in the construction work. The court directed the DG LDA to submit his report on the next date of the hearing of a petition on Sept 12.

The apex court issued the directions while hearing a petition moved by a citizen, Farooq Hameed, complaining that the construction of the plaza was started against the rules. He stated that a pit was dug which was causing a serious threat to the other properties, including his house, where cracks had started appearing.

The apex court allowed the plaza’s construction from zero level so that there should be no loss. The court also ordered the remaining construction to be stopped till the defect was removed and the court was satisfied with the work.

The court directed the LDA chief to ensure the implementation of the rules while constructing multi-storey buildings and for this purpose the chief minister should also be conveyed the necessity of legislation and rules and by-laws in this regard. The court observed that after the earthquake, it was necessary to ensure safety against such a natural calamity.

The court observed that instead of a town planner to supervise the construction of such plazas construction, the LDA should appoint structure engineers for which the Punjab Public Service Commission should be moved. The court observed that the constructors of the drains could not be allowed to raise high-rises.

The court also directed the LDA director-general to initiate disciplinary action against officials responsible for not implementing the rules in the construction of the plaza and submit a report on next date of hearing as to what action had been taken against the negligent officials. The officials, the court directed the LDA chief, must keep in mind that action would be taken in case of violation of the rules.

The Supreme Court deplored the poor management of the LDA for having no record of multi-storey buildings, and said that there was no report from either a structure engineer or building inspector about the building’s specifications. If this was the situation on Gulberg’s Mian Boulevard, what would be the situation in other areas, like Shah Alam Market or Jauhar Town, the court remarked.

^^ yes i hope he retires now, voluntarily and for good

i read an article in the news recently by a lawyer criticising the "mad commercialisation" of our cities and then he wrote down with the general and his failed policies

after all that's been happening in pakistan, i have developed a hatered for lawyers

and i dont think they understand commerce and economics, or their importance, anyone agree with me?

I say its not about understanding commerce or economic but in reality we need to understand how to control the growth of our urban centres. The major CBD's in the world go under larger urban redevelopment however we fail to sustain the CBD and plan out new commerce centres very haphazourdously. I plan to be an urban planner in future. Our urban centres, neighbourhood n urban life is not going to improve with this commercialization. Proper zoning must be done along with providing a capable infrastructure. I dont blame the lawyers for that but actually it is the system. The developers approve a certain number of storeys n they construct more? Y? It is because of the corruption in departments like LDA where building bye laws are not cater properly and safety in nt the priority of the developer. Result....Margalla Tower & PNSC Building disasters!!! So the lawyer are juss trying to keep all construction according to a certain bye-laws due to negligance of building inspectors and corruption on LDA/CDA/KDA/RDA etc.

Once the process gets clean, then there would nt be problem. Random commercialisation of neigbourhood roads, with 45feet wide roads having 20storeys building means u r inviting 2000plus cars daily into that neigbourhood.....y do the residents have to suffer.......? Can u let ur childrens play on those street?? Ur sewers start to burst up in monsoon or even on an ordinary days....y? Cauz the sewer infrastructure is designed for handling 6-12 ppl per home n nt 3000ppl in the same area!!

Try visiting the urban section in the international section and c how zoning is done, how intervention is done and the urban fabric of the city is not destroyed or disturbed.....all these issues are interlinked....!

I would love to see tall skyscrapper but in a properly planned n zoned area with a outstanding infrastructure. We are lacking such a thing! It is easier to develop infrastructure in green field area. A fairly relative example is the Commercial broadway in the Defence VI.

Ur urban centre have democracy of road? U even know what that is? Look at the best urban centres in the world. Look at the traffic speed over there! Champe Elysee...one of the best paradigms.....n the speed of the vehicles....compare it with Main Boulvard...! Ppl get killed crossing a road, cauz this is nt an ordinary road but it has turned into an expressway.....Infront of pace crossing....literally so many accidents....n y? Watch Fast n Furious 3.....look at the number of ppl crossing road n how they r respected.....proper zoning fer pedestrians is done where they have more rights over the cars.....n here...ur crushed to peices.....

So I would say that the system is being revised right now....once it gets fixed it would become more friendlier......there is frustration everywhere....i agree to that.....but we cannot have a upward projecting graph all the time!!!

Hear hear Techno!

Thank you for articulating your concerns in an intelligent manner. Runaway development is counter-productive in the mid to long term. Mushrooming commercialization and construction does not equal sustainable growth. We've already had a huge slowdown in commercial construction over the past 18 months; the gold-rush mentality of "if I build it they will come..." isn't working any more. The buy and flip approach is dying a well deserved death.

I am tired of mindless cheerleading for unplanned and unregulated construction.

p.s. Are you going to the bldg matls show at the PC next week?

My Father was part of the US Census Bureau the last time a census was conducted in the US and I also rely on this (http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en) source for my information.

Thats the official population! The number of illegal Mexicans alone is estimated to 25 million! And then theres all the other nationalities aswell. So my estimates of 325 million are quite conservative!

Dont give illogical examples of other places. The problem is not with commercialization or the construction boom. Problem is with the planning. If everything is planned on short, mid and long term bases, then we can have endless construction anywhere. I woudnt promote mindless construction that will choke up our lives later.

The whole debate is about "planned development".

He probably meant population density (in terms of inhabited land area), in which case Pakistan exceeds both US & Japan. This figure is relative to urban issues.

Actually its much bigger(wider) then any other building being build in gulberg. in these pics you may not see its depth but its really deep, i daily observe their progress. they are slow but not that much. Even they are making one floor in 3-4 steps. not sure because of lack of work force or its difficult to handle such a wide area at once.

We had a debate on that sometime ago in one of the threads... Its an ugly-looking financial gurantee for the constructor since these shops get sold first.

And yes, they are designed by a limited group of architects, hence the resemblance. Who cares when you can re-use the same design a zillion times and still sell.

Nobody is taking the piss, but its a bit annoying when people ask questions like they didn't bother to read the thread.

What I said was in response to "Did they allocate anything for parking?" which, atleast with the english I know, doesn't translate in anyway to "how many car parking places are there?". Neither did I get pissed by the original question nor do I think(or meant) mycomment to be insulting. Its a just a remark that he asked a trivial question.

However, when it comes to comments like below, it is appropriately met with what FK said. I do find that offensive and it was something completely avoidable.

I totally agree with Qaiser, MODs dont encourage the new comers enough. I mean your first reply to the guy was insulting, hence his offensive response. I stopped contributing to these forums for months just because of MODs taking the piss.

oceanbound, we here don't really know the prices of most projects we follow in these threads. If you want to find those, you will have to contact the site offices of each project for quotes.

As for location in Lahore, I think you should look in Gulberg area.

Kaiser's Reply
When i visited site office of Corporate Tower and asked about the floors. the guy sitting over there told me 18. but after visiting their website we realized that it has actually 15 stories, he did add 2 basements and 1 ground floor, to impress me :-) ... In this case may be they are marketing in the same way and their equation could be 3 basements + 1 Lower Ground + 1 Upper Ground + 1 Messenine + 19 floors = 25 stories
