Low-Budget Package Templates
Below are common package tiers you’ll find in a “budget” range. Use them as a template to request or propose quotes.
| Package Tier | Rooms / Scope | Inclusions (Typical) | Indicative Price Band* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Styling / Concept Only | 1–2 rooms | Floor plans, mood boards, 3D visuals, material & color palette, 1–2 revisions | ₹50 – 150 / sq ft |
| Semi Turnkey Lite | Apartment (1BHK / small home) | Styling + modular furniture, lighting, basic finishes, supervision | ₹150 – 300 / sq ft |
| Basic Full Turnkey | Complete home (1–2 BHK) | All interiors: carpentry, flooring, finishes, lighting, décor (economy materials) | ₹300 – 500+ / sq ft |
| Feature Zone Upgrade | One zone (living / kitchen / master) | Upgraded finishes, accent wall, better lighting, custom elements in that zone | Flat fee depending on size |
* These are indicative rates for “budget / value” level packages. In premium areas or for higher materials, the rates go up.
How to Use These Packages
- Ask designers to break down what’s included / excluded clearly (e.g. plumbing, structural work)
- Use “zone-based” upgrades — do deluxe finishes in main rooms and simpler ones elsewhere
- Use modular / semi-modular products to reduce custom carpentry cost
- Compare 2–3 designers with same scope to gauge reasonable ranges
If you tell me your city / neighbourhood, flat size (sq ft or rooms), and level of finishes you want, I can prepare 2–3 budget package proposals you can use to negotiate. Do you want me to do that?
