1 BHK cost FAQs

What's the minimum I should expect to pay for a 1 BHK interior in Chennai?
Honestly, plan for ₹2.49 L as the absolute floor for a turnkey 1 BHK package with marine plywood + branded hardware + 45-day delivery + 10-year warranty. Below that price, something has been compromised — usually plywood grade or hardware brand. For partial scope (kitchen-only or kitchen + 1 wardrobe), the floor is lower (₹1.5-2.5 L).
How long does a 1 BHK interior project take in Chennai?
1 BHK turnkey delivery is typically 45-55 days for basic/mid tier, 55-65 days for premium with heavier civil work. The timeline starts on the day you sign the contract and approve the 3D design — design revisions don't count. We put the handover date in the contract.
Can I phase the 1 BHK interior over time?
Yes — many Chennai 1 BHK homeowners start with kitchen + master bedroom (~₹1.5-2.5 L of the total), move in, then add living/dining and other rooms 6-12 months later. We provide a single design with phased execution. Slight cost premium of 8-12% because of dis-assembly and re-mobilisation, but spreads the spend.
What's the EMI for 1 BHK interior in Chennai?
For a 1 BHK at ₹2.49 L (Essential tier), 24-month EMI is approximately ₹4,999/month after the 0% interest 6-month grace period. Tie-ups with HDFC, ICICI, Bajaj Finserv. Loan approval within 24 hours of application.
Does the calculator price include appliances?
No. The interior package covers modular wardrobes, kitchen carcass + shutters + hardware + counter-top + chimney/hob installation, false ceiling, paint, electrical, lights and decor. Appliances (fridge, AC, washing machine, microwave) are quoted separately if you want them — budget ₹1.5-3 L on top of the interior package.
