In construction, the final impression is often the lasting one. While the structural work sets the foundation, it’s the building completion and finishing stage that transforms a project into a livable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space.
At Lofty Link Ltd, we specialise in turning brick and mortar into homes, offices, showrooms, and commercial spaces that reflect excellence and attention to detail. In this blog post, we’ll explore why completion and finishing matter, what services are involved, and how we help developers and property owners achieve world-class results.
1. What Is Building Completion and Finishing?
Building Completion & Finishing refers to the final phase of construction, where all interior and exterior works are finalised and polished. This includes everything from plastering and painting to electrical fittings, flooring, doors, and bathroom/kitchen installations.
This stage is not just cosmetic — it’s essential for safety, comfort, usability, and property value.
2. Why Finishing Work Should Never Be an Afterthought
Too often, developers or builders rush through finishing work due to budget constraints or tight timelines. But this can be a costly mistake. Poor finishing:
-
Lowers the value of the property
-
Increases maintenance costs
-
Deters potential buyers or tenants
-
Causes delays in approval or certification
On the other hand, premium finishing increases curb appeal, client satisfaction, and marketability.

-
Don’t rush the schedule — Finishing takes time if you want quality
-
Use moisture-resistant materials in kitchens and bathrooms
-
Always inspect before payment — A snagging checklist helps
-
Consider the end user — The little touches (e.g., soft-close drawers, anti-slip tiles) matter
