One of the most common and costly mistakes people make when buying flooring and skirting in Pakistan is ordering the wrong quantity. Order too little and your project stalls while you wait for more stock — and the new batch may not perfectly match the original. Order too much and you have paid for materials sitting unused in a corner.
Both problems are completely avoidable — and at Samaar Skirting, we eliminate them entirely with our free professional measurement and estimate service.
Before you spend a single rupee on flooring, skirting, wall panels, or any interior finishing product, our measurement specialist visits your site, takes precise measurements of every area, calculates exact material requirements, and provides you with a detailed, transparent estimate — completely free of charge, with no obligation to purchase.
- Floor Area Measurement
We measure every room, hallway, corridor, and open-plan area where flooring is to be installed. We account for built-in wardrobes, kitchen islands, bathroom fixtures, and other permanent features that reduce the actual flooring area.
- Skirting Linear Measurement
We measure all wall lengths where skirting is to be fitted, accounting for doorways, window openings, alcoves, and existing fitted furniture. We also note corner types — internal and external — that affect the quantity of skirting required
- Wall Panel Area Measurement
For rooms where fluted wall panels or other wall treatments are planned, we measure the specific wall areas to be covered, including feature walls, TV walls, headboard walls, and accent panels
- French Moulding & Ceiling Moulding Measurement
Where French moulding or cornice-style moulding is part of the project, we measure the relevant wall and ceiling perimeters to calculate linear requirements accurately Where French moulding or cornice-style moulding is part of the project, we measure the relevant wall and ceiling perimeters to calculate linear requirements accurately
- Staircase Measurement
Staircases require specific flooring products — stair nose, risers, and landing areas — measured differently from flat floor areas. Our specialist measures each stair component accurately to ensure correct product quantities for a professional stair finish.
- Subfloor Condition Assessment
Our specialist visually assesses your subfloor — checking for levelness, moisture, damage, or other conditions that may require preparation before installation. Any subfloor concerns are clearly communicated in the post-measurement report

Free Measurement for Different Project Types
Residential Homes & Apartments – Whether you are measuring a single bedroom, a complete home, or a multi-storey house with staircases and balconies — our specialist handles measurements of all scales and layouts. We are experienced with Lahore’s diverse residential architecture — from compact apartments in Gulberg to large villas in DHA and Bahria Town.
Offices & Corporate Spaces- Open-plan offices, private cabins, reception areas, boardrooms, and corridors — we measure commercial spaces with the same precision and detail as residential projects. For office projects, we also advise on flooring specifications suited to commercial-grade foot traffic.
Retail Stores & Showrooms- Retail environments have specific requirements — aesthetics that attract customers, flooring that can handle heavy footfall, and finishes that are easy to maintain. We measure and advise on retail spaces with these commercial demands in mind.
Restaurants & Hospitality Spaces- Flooring in restaurants and hospitality environments must balance visual impact with durability and ease of cleaning. Our specialist assesses these environments carefully and recommends products that meet both design and operational requirements.
Multi-Unit Residential & Housing Scheme Projects For builders and developers fitting out multiple units — apartments, townhouses, or housing scheme plots — we offer efficient multi-unit measurement services with consolidated estimates that support bulk ordering and phased installation scheduling.
easurement & Estimate for B2B Clients
Multi-Site Measurement We can schedule measurement visits across multiple project sites within Lahore, providing individual site estimates and a consolidated trade order summary.
Specification-Based Estimating For architects and designers working from architectural drawings or floor plans, we can prepare material estimates from plans without a physical site visit — useful for projects in early planning stages or for outstation projects where a site visit is not practical.
BOQ Preparation Support For formal tender and BOQ (Bill of Quantities) submissions, our team can prepare detailed material schedules in the format required for your project documentation.
Volume Pricing in Estimate Trade estimates include volume-based pricing tiers — so you can see clearly how your cost per square foot changes as order quantity increases, helping you plan procurement efficiently across multiple units or phases.
- Measuring Only the Open Floor Area
Many people measure their rooms without accounting for alcoves, bay windows, under-stair areas, and walk-in wardrobes. Our specialist measures every usable surface area — nothing is missed
- Forgetting the Wastage Allowance
Ordering without a wastage factor almost always results in a shortage mid-installation. Our estimates always include the correct wastage percentage for your specific flooring type and installation pattern.
- Ignoring Transition Points
Doorway transitions are often forgotten until installation day — when the installer asks for T-moulding or reducers that were never ordered. Our measurement visit identifies every transition point in advance.
- Miscalculating Herringbone or Diagonal Patterns
Herringbone and diagonal flooring installations require a significantly higher wastage allowance than standard straight installations — sometimes up to 15% extra. Without accounting for this, customers regularly run short. Our specialist calculates pattern-specific wastage accurately
- Not Checking Skirting Corner Quantities
Every internal and external corner in a room affects skirting requirements — cut angles, corner pieces, and joining accessories all add to the linear footage needed. Our specialist counts every corner carefully.
- Underestimating Staircase Material
Staircases are complex to measure and material requirements are often significantly underestimated by customers attempting self-measurement. Our specialist measures each stair tread, riser, and landing area individually.
