Estimated Ranges for 1,200 sq ft
Here are cost ranges for different quality levels:

How to Refine the Estimate for Your Situation
To get a more accurate number for your 1,200 sq ft house, do the following:
- Define Scope
- Are you doing full interiors (walls, floor, ceiling, kitchen, wardrobes, décor)?
- Or parts only (say, living room + bedrooms)?
- Decide Finish Quality
- Material grades (laminate vs veneer vs solid wood)
- Fixtures, hardware, lighting brands
- Custom furniture vs ready-made
- Break Down Components & Estimate Segments
- Modular kitchen + cabinets
- Wardrobes / storage
- Flooring / tiles / wood
- False ceiling & lighting
- Paint / wall finishes / decorative elements
- Furniture, décor, soft furnishings
- Electrical, plumbing, wiring
- Get Local Quotes
- Get at least 3 quotes from designers/contractors in Gurgaon / Noida / Delhi NCR.
- Ask for line-item breakdowns so you can compare “apples to apples.”
- Include Professional Fees & Buffer
- Designers often charge 5–15% of project cost (or a fixed fee)
- Add 10–15% as contingency for surprise expenses or upgrade choices
