Realistic “Cheap / Low-Budget” Ranges
Here are plausible low-budget ranges (for simpler finishes, modular work, minimal structural changes) in Kolkata:
| Tier | Scope / Assumptions | Approx Rate (₹ / sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Design / Styling Only | Layouts, visuals, furniture & finish suggestions (you execute) | ~ ₹30 – ₹100 |
| Semi-Execution / Basic Work | Adds modular furniture, standard finishes, lighting, supervision | ~ ₹100 – ₹250 |
| Budget Full Interiors | Full interior execution using economical materials | ~ ₹250 – ₹400+ |
If you see quotes far above ₹400 / sq ft for “cheap” work, check for premium materials or heavy customization baked in.
If you tell me your locality in Kolkata and flat size (sq ft or BHK), I can give you a precise low-budget estimate for your specific case.
