Whether you want the cheapest working modular kitchen (HDHMR shutters, ₹1.2 L start) or the best premium build (Blum + Hafele hardware, PU paint, quartz counter — ₹4.5 L+), our in-house carpenter team handles both at the same workmanship standard. Marine ply carcass, fixed price, 10-year warranty.

Three things move 60-80% of the price between a cheap modular kitchen and a premium one in Chennai. Shutter material: HDHMR (₹450/sqft) vs acrylic (₹650/sqft) vs PU paint (₹1,200/sqft). Hardware brand: generic Indian (₹300/rft) vs Hettich basic (₹450) vs Hafele (₹650) vs Blum (₹1,200). Counter-top: standard granite (₹350/sqft) vs premium granite (₹700) vs quartz (₹1,200) vs marble (₹1,500).
Everything else — carcass, install labour, design, supervision, warranty — stays the same across our basic and premium tiers. We use marine BWP plywood on every job (basic to premium) because anything less swells under Chennai's humidity within 3-5 years. We don't offer a "cheap MR-grade ply" option.
If your budget is ₹1.2 L, you'll get an honest entry-level kitchen that lasts a decade. If your budget is ₹4 L, you'll get a showroom-grade kitchen with imported hardware. Both come with the same 10-year workmanship warranty. The site-visit tells you exactly what each ₹50,000 of budget buys.
Most kitchen failures in Chennai homes show up under the sink first — water seeps into the carcass, the plywood swells, the shutter doors go out of plane, and within 4-6 years you're rebuilding. The fix isn't a fancier shutter brand. The fix is using BWP (Boiling Water Proof) marine plywood for the carcass — the part you don't see. We use IS:710-grade marine ply on every modular kitchen we build, even our cheapest tier. Invoice goes with the warranty card.
