Total linear footage of all kitchen counter walls. For L-shape: 6 ft + 4 ft = 10 rft. For parallel: 6 ft + 6 ft = 12 rft. For U-shape: 5 ft + 4 ft + 5 ft = 14 rft. For island: add island length to wall counters. Measure along the floor where cabinets sit.

1 BHK: 6-8 rft (straight). 2 BHK: 8-12 rft (L-shape most common). 3 BHK: 10-14 rft (L-shape or parallel). 3 BHK premium / villa: 14-22 rft (U-shape or island). Bigger ≠ better — match running feet to your usage pattern.
Are appliances included in modular kitchen cost?
No — running-foot pricing covers carcass + shutters + hardware + counter + sink + faucet + soft-close + chimney/hob cutouts. Appliances (chimney, hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator) are excluded — you source from electronics dealer. We coordinate pre-installs + cutouts + electrical points for them.
What plywood do you use for Chennai modular kitchens?
BWP IS:303 (Greenply / Century) minimum across all tiers. Marine BWP IS:710 for sink area + dishwasher zone across Standard tier and above. MR plywood is never used — it fails in 5-7 years in Chennai humidity. The 15-25% premium for Marine BWP saves replacement cost down the line.
