MS 5 Marla House Finishing Cost in Lahore: What You Are Paying For
What finishing a 5 Marla house costs in Lahore, what the standard and premium levels include, and how to decide the order of choices before you spend.
Overview
After the grey structure is done, the money moves from concrete to choices: tiles, doors, paint, kitchens, bathrooms. Finishing is where owners most often overspend, because every item looks small on its own and the total only appears at the end.
This guide explains what finishing covers, gives a rough range for a 5 Marla house and shows how to keep the number under control.
What Finishing Includes
On our rate card, standard turnkey adds standard tiling, basic woodwork, paint and sanitary fixtures to a complete grey structure. Premium turnkey goes further, with high-end or imported tiles, designer kitchen layouts, premium bathroom fittings and custom finishes. Our interior finishing service can also be hired on its own once the shell is complete.
A Rough Range for a 5 Marla House
Finishing is roughly the gap between our grey structure and turnkey ranges. Standard turnkey sits about PKR 1,500 to 2,500 per sq ft above grey structure, and premium turnkey about PKR 3,000 to 4,500 above it. These are estimates built from the rate card, not quotes.
| Level | Added per sq ft | For about 2,000 sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Standard finishing | PKR 1,500 to 2,500 | PKR 30 to 50 lakh |
| Premium finishing | PKR 3,000 to 4,500 | PKR 60 to 90 lakh |
Add these to the grey structure cost to see the full house. The 5 Marla construction cost guide explains that side.
Decide in the Right Order
Electrical points and plumbing positions are fixed before walls close, so decisions that depend on them, such as where appliances and beds will stand, must come first. Flooring comes next because it affects door heights and skirting. Paint and light fittings come last since they are easiest to change.
Where Spending Is Easy to Control
Tile size and brand, the amount of woodwork and the grade of bathroom fittings move the total most. Agree these in writing before the quote is issued, with named brands where you can. A finish you can upgrade later, such as paint or light fittings, is a better place to start modestly than one buried behind walls.
A Checklist Before You Order Anything
Measure every room and write the tile quantity down, then add a small reserve for breakage and cuts. Ask for each material in writing with its brand, size and grade, so a substitute cannot slip in unnoticed. Look at sample tiles and paint chips in daylight on site, because shop lighting hides colour differences. Order items with long lead times, such as doors, kitchens and imported tiles, early enough that they arrive before the work that needs them. Keep every receipt and specification in one folder, so any dispute later is settled by paper and not by memory.
Finishing in Stages
You do not have to finish every room at once. Many owners finish the living areas and kitchen first and complete bedrooms later. Our guide to building on a fixed budget covers staging in more detail.
