Every rate on this page is a current Forbesganj and Araria market estimate rather than a fixed quotation. Your final figure is set at the free site visit and varies with your design, the material grade you choose and the total area. Combining work — ceiling, wall panelling and television unit together — brings the per-sq.ft rate down.
- Labour Component
- ₹30–45/sq.ft
- Framing, board fixing and taping labour runs about ₹30–45/sq.ft and is already inside the rate above; cove and multi-level work sits at the top of that band.
- Sizes & Thickness
- 12.5mm boards in 4×8 ft and 4×6 ft sheets, scored and cut on-site; a thinner 8mm board is used only where the design curves.
- Materials We Source
- We fit branded gypsum board on galvanised GI framing, bought from authorised Purnia/Forbesganj dealers — never loose unbranded stock. You see the actual board and brand at the free site visit.

Materials & Method
Gypsum board (12.5mm)
Branded panels with a firm gypsum core and paper facing
GI metal channel frame
Galvanised sections that resist rust and won't sag with the years
Joint tape & jointing compound
Bridges and fills every seam so the surface finishes dead flat
Aluminium cove profile + LED
Recessed channel carrying a warm-white (3000K) strip for indirect light
How the work runs, step by step
Mark the level
A dead-level line is snapped around all four walls at your chosen drop.
Anchor the frame
Perimeter angle and intermediate GI channels are fixed to the slab.
Screw the boards
Boards go up with staggered joints so no seam runs edge to edge.
Build the cove
If it's in the design, a recessed step is framed around the border for the LED.
Tape & sand smooth
Every joint and screw head is taped and sanded until it disappears.
Cutouts & handover
Light and AC openings are cut, the cove line is checked, and the warranty is handed over.

From our site supervisorIf cove lighting is even a maybe, lock it at the design stage. Adding a cove after the boards are closed means opening part of a finished ceiling — deciding early costs nothing extra.
Gypsum False Ceiling vs POP Ceiling
The comparison customers ask us to make most often, answered honestly.
| Point | Gypsum False Ceiling | POP Ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| How it's made | Factory board on a GI frame — dry, precise, uniform | Wet plaster mixed and applied by hand on site |
| Finish quality | Even, crack-resistant, mason-independent | Depends heavily on the mason's hand |
| Site mess & drying | Little debris, no long drying wait | More wet debris and curing time |
| Later repair | One board section can be opened and reset | Patch repairs often show |

Honest limitations

- Taping and sanding make it a touch slower to finish than PVC
- A leak from above means replacing board, not just wiping it
- For the same layout its labour runs a little higher than PVC

Common Questions
If gypsum gets splashed once, is it ruined?
A quick splash you wipe up is fine. What harms it is standing moisture and daily steam — that's exactly why we keep it out of bathrooms and cooking kitchens.
How much room height does a gypsum ceiling eat?
A flat design drops the ceiling by roughly 3–4 inches. If your room is already low, tell us and we'll frame a shallower drop or suggest PVC instead.
Can you copy a ceiling design from a photo I saved?
Yes — that's the whole point of gypsum. Show us the photo at the site visit; we'll tell you honestly what's buildable in your room's height and quote it.
