Quick answer — 5 marla finishing cost snapshot (2026)
Assumption: Ground + 1, covered area about 2,000–2,500 sq ft, family home in Lahore (Johar Town, Lake City, Bahria, smaller DHA plots, Wapda Town, Township and similar).
| Finishing grade | Planning total (finishing only) | Typical per sq ft (finishing) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / economy-good | **PKR 35 – 55 lac** | ~PKR 1,700 – 2,400 |

These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes. Tile brand, kitchen size, sanitary grade and marble choices move the total more than almost anything else.

Paint cost inside finishing
Interior emulsion and exterior weather coat for a 5 marla home often land near PKR 45–90 / sq ft all-in (prep + labour + material), depending on brand and elevation height. Full city paint guidance: paint contractor Lahore, home painting services, and paint contractor price guide.
Flooring & marble
Local porcelain keeps budgets calm; Italian / Turkish marble and full marble stairs push finishing into premium. Related: marble flooring cost Lahore.
Finishing cost by area — GEO for Lahore
Rates per sq ft are similar city-wide, but expectations and access change:
| Area | Finishing note |
|---|---|
| **Johar Town / Township / Wapda Town** | High demand for efficient 5 marla packages; standard–mid finishes common |
| **Lake City / LDA Avenue / Eden** | New homes finishing in batches; book crews early |
| **Bahria Town Lahore** | Elevation and society rules matter; weather coat + neat edges expected |
| **DHA (smaller plots / Phase extensions)** | Mid–premium finishes more common; bylaws and parking access affect timeline |
| **Gulberg / Model Town / Garden Town** | More renovations + refresh finishing than pure new 5 marla shells |
| **Cantt / Askari** | Access and timing rules — plan delivery windows |

Standard vs mid vs premium — what you actually get
Standard finishing
Local porcelain, solid local kitchen, standard sanitary, good emulsion + weather coat, limited POP. Best when budget is tight but walls and wet areas must still be done properly.
Mid-premium (recommended for most families)
Better tile grade, soft-close kitchen, stronger sanitary brands, careful paint prep, selective POP in lounge/master. This is the band most Lahore 5 marla owners actually live with.
Premium
Imported tiles/marble accents, designer kitchen, high-end sanitary, extensive POP/cove lighting, premium paint systems. Beautiful — but freeze selections early or timelines slip.
Process — correct finishing order (saves money)
- Damp & waterproofing at roofs, baths, kitchen wet zones
- Flooring and marble grind (dusty)
- Woodwork install + polish where scoped
- POP after major dust trades
- Paint last — putty, primer, coats (types of paint)
- Fixtures & handover walkthrough
Painting before marble grind or carpentry sanding forces a second paint cycle — a classic Lahore budget leak.
How to cut finishing cost without looking cheap
- Freeze tile and sanitary brands before labour starts
- Use premium only in wet areas and kitchen; keep bedrooms practical
- One coordinated contractor for plaster touch-up + paint + POP reduces rework
- Avoid “lump sum finishing” with no BOQ — itemise everything
- Keep 5–8% contingency for rate changes and extras
