5 Marla in Square Feet, Gaz and Square Meters
| Marla Standard | Square Feet | Gaz (Sq Yards) | Square Meters | Kanal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225 sq ft | 1,125 | 125 | 104.52 | 0.25 |
| 250 sq ft | 1,250 | 138.89 | 116.13 | 0.25 |

5 Marla Plot Dimensions
A marla is a unit of area, so a 5 marla plot can have different shapes. These are dimensions you will commonly see:
| Dimensions (feet) | Area | Fits Which Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 25 × 45 | 1,125 sq ft | Exactly 5 marla on the 225 standard |
| 25 × 50 | 1,250 sq ft | Exactly 5 marla on the 250 standard |
| 27 × 50 | 1,350 sq ft | Just under 5 marla on the 272.25 standard |
| 30 × 45 | 1,350 sq ft | Just under 5 marla on the 272.25 standard |
The width of the plot matters for the house design. A 25 ft wide plot gives a narrower, deeper layout, while a 30 ft wide plot allows wider rooms.
5 Marla House Size
The plot size is not the same as the covered area of the house. Building byelaws require open space at the front and sometimes the back, and they limit how much of the plot you can cover. A double-storey house has two floors, so its total covered area is usually larger than the plot area. The exact limit depends on your society’s or authority’s byelaws, so check them before you design.
A double-storey 5 marla house commonly has around three to four bedrooms, depending on the layout and plot standard.
5 Marla vs 7 Marla vs 10 Marla
| Plot | 225 Standard | 272.25 Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 5 marla | 1,125 sq ft | 1,361.25 sq ft |
| 7 marla | 1,575 sq ft | 1,905.75 sq ft |
| 8 marla | 1,800 sq ft | 2,178 sq ft |
| 10 marla | 2,250 sq ft | 2,722.5 sq ft |
