Sample Low-Budget Price List (Delhi NCR)
Below is a table showing what you might expect to pay (design + partial execution) under a constrained / value budget:
| Tier | Scope / What’s Included | Approx Rate (₹ / sq ft) | What You Can Expect / Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design / Styling Only | Layouts, mood board, visual concept, furniture + finish recommendations | ₹50 – ₹120 | You source and execute labor/furniture locally |
| Light Execution / Semi-Turnkey | Adds modular furniture, lighting, basic finishes, supervision (in key rooms) | ₹120 – ₹250 | A functional room or two done end to end; rest simpler |
| Basic Full Turnkey | Full interiors (rooms, minimal décor, lighting, finishes) using economy materials | ₹250 – ₹400+ | Complete workable home but not luxury finishes |
What to Watch Out / Negotiate
- Clarify which rooms are included (living, bedroom, kitchen, etc.)
- Ask for line-item cost: What is raw material + labor + designer markup
- Check if structural / civil work, plumbing / electrical rework are included or extra
- Factor in transport, site supervision, contingency (often 10–20 %)
- Use modular / prefabricated elements to control cost
- Negotiate for “upgrade options” to be optional
If you tell me your flat size, which rooms you want done, and your locality in Delhi NCR (Gurgaon, Noida, South Delhi, etc.), I can map this price list to your case and give a more precise cost estimate. Do you want me to do that now?
