They have earned a reputation for delivering affordable housing and commercial projects, especially in Bahria Town and Bahria Orchard. This company has aΒ proactive and customer-oriented approach to keep them relevant in a highly competitive market of real estate in Lahore. However, like many developers, Q-Links has announced escalation charges due to the tough challenges to complete their projects efficiently. These charges impacted property buyers of Orchard Mall.

Recently, they made waves by announcing a waiver on these charges, much to the relief of their clients.

What are Escalation Charges?
In real estate, escalation charges are additional costs imposed on buyers to cover unexpected increases in the expenses of theΒ developer. These cost increases may arise due to several factors, including:
Inflation
The rise in the general price level of goods and services in the economy can affect raw materials of construction like cement, steel, and labour costs.
Currency devaluation
When a country’s currency loses value compared to other currencies, it increases the cost of imported materials and equipment.
Rising material costs
Global market conditions, including supply chain disruptions or increased demand for construction materials, can push prices higher.
Regulatory changes
Changes in government policies, taxes, or building regulations can lead to increased costs for developers.
The Impact of Escalation Charges on Q-Links Projects
Some time ago, QLinks introduced escalation charges on some of their projects due to rising costs. Their company aimed at providing affordable housing but later on, they faced an increase in construction costs as inflation surged and material prices skyrocketed. This situation led to a significant number of buyers feeling burdened, as their financial planning was disrupted by these unforeseen costs. The imposition of escalation charges created concerns among buyers who had signed contracts based on an initial price. As these charges were added, the overall cost of the properties increased stressed the middle-income families and investors who were working within specific budget limits.
QLinks Waive 100% Escalation Charges
QLinks Developers announced that they would waive the escalation charges on several of their projects. There was a heated debate going on between investors and QLinks Developers about escalation charges.Β The grey structure of Orchard Mall with more than 50 % glasswork has been completed. The company imposed 25% escalation charges. At last, QLinks team decided to take away all escalation charges and they will bear all amount by themselves.
Orchard Mall Bahria Orchard Phase 4
Orchard Mall Bahria Orchard is a mixed-use development project of commercial and residential spaces. It is located near the grand entrance of Bahria Orchard Phase 4. Orchard Mall will welcome many brands with high footfall due to the presence of commercial hubs and other mega projects from renowned developers.
It is aΒ pretty versatile shopping mall that has a functional structure and includes regions like the IT offices, co-working spaces, kids play area and other big brands in supermarkets.
Reason to Waive Escalation Charges
QLinks Developers announced that they would give waive off 100 % escalation charges on Orchard Mall of their projects. This decision was well-received by their customers and demonstrated the companyβs commitment to its clients. This whole process was under consideration between the team and investors in September 2024 and finally, they announced in October.
Customer Satisfaction
QLinks is always a customer-oriented developer, and this decision reinforces that image. Waiving the escalation charges helped to restore trust and loyalty among their customer base, especially during a time when economic conditions have made property purchases more challenging.
Economic Stabilization
As construction material prices have been normalized to some extent, QLinks may have found it easier to absorb the additional costs without passing them on to buyers. Now they will be giving relief to their customers and theΒ company will manage their financial matters on their own.
QLinks Developers have proven once again that they are committed to timely project delivery and quality and ensure customer satisfaction. By waiving the escalation charges that were initially imposed due to rising construction costs, they have provided significant relief to their clients and strengthened their position in the real estate market.
