Suggested Low-Budget Rate Bands (Hyderabad)
For a value / economy level job (not luxury):
| Tier | Scope / Inclusions | Approx Rate (₹ / sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Design / Styling Only | Layouts, visuals, concept, you manage execution | ₹50 – ₹150 |
| Semi-Execution / Basic Interiors | Modular units, basic finishes, lighting, supervision | ₹150 – ₹300 |
| Budget Full Interiors | Full interior work: furniture, finishes, décor using cost-effective materials | ₹300 – ₹500+ |
If you see quotes above ₹500 / sq ft for “budget” jobs, check what premium materials or customizations are included.
