DHA Interior Design
Interior design and execution for DHA homes, from kitchens and wardrobes to false ceilings, lighting, and sanitary fittings. Here is what the work covers, how the process runs, and how long it takes in 2026.
DHA interior design is the stage that turns a finished shell into a comfortable, move-in-ready home. It covers flooring, false ceilings, wall finishes, lighting, custom joinery, and sanitary fittings, planned as one coordinated scheme rather than a series of separate jobs.
Interiors carry a large part of how a home feels day to day, so the choices made here matter as much as the structure underneath. At Construction Company DHA, we treat interior work as a planned discipline: a clear brief, a set of drawings, and a fixed material list before any cutting or installation begins. This keeps the budget predictable and avoids the costly habit of re-cutting finished walls to fit cabinetry or wiring added as an afterthought.
Interior design pairs naturally with our turnkey finishing service and follows on directly from the grey structure stage. It also sits alongside the floor plans produced in architecture and design, so the look of a room is settled before the walls are even plastered. Below is the scope, the process, and the typical timeline.
How we approach an interior
Material and mood planning
Every texture is chosen to work together, from the grain of the wood doors to the finish of the floor tiles. A single coordinated palette keeps the home looking consistent from the entrance through to the bedrooms, whether the brief is calm and minimal or warm and traditional.
Lighting design
Ambient, task, and accent lighting are planned room by room and marked on the drawings before wiring. Placing the points correctly during the structure stage means no surface conduits or patched ceilings later, and a noticeably better result at handover.
What is included in a DHA interior project
A full interior scope covers the visible finishes and the fitted elements of the home. The exact list is set in the design brief, but a typical DHA interior includes the following work.
Step by step: how an interior is delivered
A DHA interior follows a clear sequence. A 5 to 10 Marla home typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from approved design to handover, while a 1 Kanal house with heavy joinery can run 4 to 6 months. Both move through the same stages.
1
Design brief and survey
We start with a measured survey of the space and a clear brief: room use, style direction, and budget. For new builds, this happens during the grey structure stage so the design can shape the wiring and plumbing layout.
2
Concept, drawings, and material list
We prepare layouts, ceiling plans, and a coordinated material palette. Every finish, from floor tile to door handle, is fixed on a written list before any work starts, so the quote is itemised and predictable.
3
Costing and approval
The material list and drawings become an itemised quote. Because interiors are custom, pricing is built bottom-up rather than from a flat rate. Once approved, materials with longer lead times are ordered first.
4
False ceilings and concealed services
Gypsum and rockwool ceilings are framed and any concealed lighting, ducting, and wiring are completed before closing the surfaces. Getting this right early protects every finish that follows.
5
Flooring and wall finishes
Porcelain, marble, or engineered wood flooring is laid, followed by feature walls, stone work, and base plaster preparation. Surfaces are protected during the remaining work to avoid damage.
6
Joinery, kitchens, and wardrobes
Fitted kitchens, full-height wardrobes, and built-in storage are installed. Joinery is measured to the finished walls so gaps and alignments are tight, then sealed and finished on site.
7
Sanitary fittings and electrical fixtures
Mixers, commodes, shower enclosures, switchboards, and light fixtures are mounted and tested. Every point is checked against the original lighting and plumbing plan.
8
Paint, snagging, and handover
Final emulsion and protective coats are applied, the home is deep-cleaned, and a snagging list is worked through item by item before a documented handover.
Interior design across DHA cities
Material availability and lead times vary by city, which affects both the schedule and the cost of an interior. We run interior projects in every major DHA, with dedicated pages for the priority cities below.
Interior Design FAQ 2026
Does interior design start before or after the grey structure?
Interior design works best when it begins during the grey structure stage. Locking finishes, lighting points, and cabinetry layouts early means electrical conduits and plumbing are placed correctly, which avoids re-cutting finished walls later.
Can you do interiors only, without building the structure?
Yes. We take on standalone interior projects on completed or part-finished homes, covering flooring, false ceilings, joinery, paint, and fittings. We survey the existing structure first so the design is planned around what is already built.
How is interior pricing calculated?
Interior pricing is custom rather than a single per-sqft rate, because it depends on material choices, the amount of joinery, and the level of finish. We prepare an itemised quote after the design brief, and you can compare city construction rates on our construction rate calculator.
What is the difference between standard and premium interior finishes?
Standard interiors use reliable local sourcing for tiles, laminates, and fittings. Premium interiors add imported porcelain, solid-wood joinery, and higher-grade sanitary ware. The structure and workmanship stay the same; the cost difference sits mostly in the materials.
How long does interior execution take for a typical DHA house?
A 5 to 10 Marla interior usually takes 8 to 14 weeks once the design is approved and materials are ordered. Larger 1 Kanal homes with extensive joinery and stonework can take 4 to 6 months, depending on material lead times.
