Why Homeli is different

• Itemised quote = contract — every cabinet, every brand, every rate written down. No vague lump-sums.
• Marine BWP plywood (Greenply/Century IS:710) on every cabinet carcass — not MR which fails in Chennai humidity.
• Branded hardware — Hettich, Hafele or Blum hinges + drawer channels. Soft-close standard.
• Branded hardware with invoices handed to you.
• A clear timeline agreed in writing before work begins, with weekly progress updates.
• Retailer invoice handover at closing — you keep proof of every material brand we used.
• Chennai homes delivered — verifiable references on request.
