The price of a plaster ceiling depends on several factors below:
Total area of the ceiling
Prices of plaster ceiling are calculated in per-square-footage. Price for basic plaster ceiling of 20×20 feet starts from RM2500, but will increase as you add more lighting points.
If you are installing a tray design (this is where an additional layer is added to the middle of the ceiling), this will also add to the square footage.
Length of L-box
An L-box is added if you want to achieve a cove lighting or bounce lighting effect. An L-box is a shallow shelf that can be used to conceal pipes and wiring, and to house downlights or LED strips.
L-box ceilings are calculated in per-foot-run. So, if you have a living room of 20 x 20 feet, and you want an l-box all the way around, then the total length of l-box will be 20+20+20+20 = 80 feet.

Length of cornice
A cornice is a decorative plaster ceiling element that adds more design and style to your ceiling. This is also calculated in per-foot-run.
Depending on the layout of your lighting, aircons and ceiling fans, you may need to install new wiring, or support hooks to hang your ceiling fan. These will be added to the cost in a per-unit basis.
