Is the quote design only or turnkey (materials + execution)?
Can you show 2–3 recent projects in Chhatarpur or nearby?
Do you provide a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and material brands?
What’s the warranty on carpentry and fittings?
What are payment milestones (no more than 3-4 stages)?
Do you supply 3D renders / samples and charge extra for them?

How I recommend shortlisting (fast)

Use Livspace + 2 local firms (from Justdial / Sulekha) — that gives you 3 quotes with different cost-structures. Livspace India Justdial Sulekha
Ask each for a BoQ and 1 client reference.
Compare price per item (e.g., wardrobe per linear foot, kitchen per run) — not only the total.
Confirm finishes in person (veneer/laminate/PU) before paying any deposit.
