Dear all
I am building 1k house in lahore and the gray structure is completed. The covered area is around 5200 sq ft and i need a professional advice from experts like you on:
- which brand of paint i should use?
- how much is the reasonable labor rate for the interior / exterior / windows / door polish work? (just an estimate to allow me negotiate with the painter)
Thanks

Usually painters ask for Rs 8/ sq ft. But people like us cannot calculate their strange calculations. So try to have lump sum rate.
Ask all the short listed painters to apply sample on small wall.
Try to have polish rate on sq ft basis. Give its contract separately. Painters claim but they are not experts in polish. Polish ustaad are different. Polish is extremely important as look and feel of house depend on polish of doors to some extent.
Remember to give extra ordinary importance to base. Do not compromise on smoothness of base because it cannot be done again.
I used Berger wall putty on my home. ICI is also good. Local paints has lead in it which is not good for health.
Use oil based primer for interior walls. Its an expensive item but worth if you can afford. Actual paint or colour has little cost in new homes as compared to cost of wall putty, primer, thinner and polish material etc.
Thanks DSA and B.R. Malik for your valuable input.
Malik Sb, do you know the avg rate for wood polish?
Regards.
Rs 40/sq ft is the rate. For an extraordinary polish ustaad one can give upto Rs 50/sq ft bit only after seeing and judging the sample. Polish material is so expensive that I dont think Rs 5 or Rs 10 per sq ft matter much at end of the day. But everyone has his own way of managing things.
Furniture polish people are great but hard to find.
