3BHK Interior Cost in Vizag: Turnkey Pricing Guide
A 3BHK apartment in Visakhapatnam—whether in Seethammadhara or Madhurawada—offers fantastic space for a growing family. But finishing a large apartment correctly, especially in a coastal climate where material quality is critical, requires careful financial planning.
The 3BHK Cost Spectrum in Vizag
Because of the extra bedroom and generally larger living spaces, a 3BHK requires significantly more joinery (woodwork) than a 2BHK. Prices vary based on finishes and material grades.
1. The Core Essentials (₹5L to ₹7L)
This budget covers the structural necessities: a functional modular kitchen, three basic wardrobes, and essential electrical fittings. It focuses heavily on utility rather than luxury finishes like acrylic or extensive false ceilings.
2. The Premium Standard (₹8L to ₹14L)
This is the most common range for modern Vizag apartments. It includes BWP Marine Plywood for wet zones, SS 304 anti-corrosive hardware, sliding wardrobes with lofts, custom TV units, a dedicated shoe/foyer unit, and complete false ceilings with integrated lighting in the living areas.
3. The Luxury Turnkey (₹15L to ₹25L+)
This tier transforms the apartment. It includes seamless PU paint or high-gloss acrylic finishes, extensive wall paneling, automated lighting, premium Quartz countertops, imported hardware (like Blum Aventos lifts), and custom furniture.
Room-by-Room Cost Breakdown (Premium Standard)
| Area | Description (BWP + Premium Laminate) | Est. Cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Modular Kitchen | Large kitchen, heavy-duty tandem drawers, SS 304 | 2.2L - 3.0L |
| Master Bedroom | Large sliding wardrobe, dresser, bed frame | 1.5L - 2.0L |
| Guest Bedroom | Standard wardrobe with loft | 1.0L - 1.3L |
| Kids/Study Room | Wardrobe, integrated study table, overhead storage | 1.2L - 1.5L |
| Living & Foyer | TV unit, display shelving, shoe rack, false ceiling | 1.5L - 2.0L |

Why Vizag Demands a Strategic Budget
You can save money on superficial elements like paint or loose rugs, but you cannot compromise on the core structural materials due to Vizag's high humidity.
- Never compromise on the kitchen core: Ensure 100% of the wet-zone carcass is IS 710 BWP Marine ply.
- Never compromise on hardware: Salty coastal air will destroy standard mild steel hinges in months. Ensure your BOQ explicitly states SS 304 stainless steel.
Material Grades: Choosing the Right Plywood
Selecting the wrong wood grade for a specific area is the primary cause of premature interior failure. Here is the full hierarchy:
| Grade | Standard | Water Resistance | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| BWP (Marine Ply) | IS 710 | Boiling water — no delamination | Kitchen sink cabinet, utility storage, bathroom vanities, wet-wall units |
| BWR Plywood | IS 303 | High humidity + splashes | Kitchen wall cabinets, dining crockery units, dry overhead storage |
| Commercial / MR | IS 303 (MR) | Humidity only — no direct water | Bedroom wardrobes, TV units, study desks |
| HDHMR | — | High moisture resistance | Wardrobe shutter doors, kitchen shutters (high-gloss / PU finishes) |
| MDF / Particle Board | — | Poor — swells permanently | Low-wear vertical partitions only; avoid in kitchens entirely |
Rule: BWP IS 710 for any unit within 1 metre of a water source. BWR IS 303 for wall cabinets above the splash zone. Commercial MR for all dry rooms.

What the warranty actually covers
A cost figure is only half the question; the other half is what happens after handover. AlcorOne's warranty on interior work in Vizag runs in three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times — a single headline figure would misrepresent all three.
| Tier | Term | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Carcass — plywood | 10 years | Delamination, borer attack and manufacturing defect in the board of modular kitchens, wardrobes and fixed joinery built by AlcorOne. Conditional on the board grade specified in the signed BOQ being the grade supplied and installed — BWP to IS 710 in wet zones, BWR to IS 303 above splash lines. This tier covers the board itself and nothing else. |
| Installation and workmanship | 1 year | Defects attributable to how the work was built and fitted — alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding and similar. |
| Hardware, fittings and appliances | Manufacturer's own term | Hinges, channels, drawer systems, electricals, sanitaryware and appliances carry the vendor's own warranty — Hettich, Blum, Häfele and Ebco each publish their own mechanism terms. AlcorOne registers that documentation in the client's name at handover and facilitates the claim. |
Not covered under any tier: water ingress originating from base-building or plumbing defects outside AlcorOne's scope; damage from misuse, unauthorised modification, or third-party work carried out after handover; and normal wear to finishes. The full terms are on the Terms of Service page.
Read a headline warranty number in this category the same way. A ten-year figure quoted on its own is almost always the carcass tier alone, with installation sitting at one to two years beneath it. Ask any contractor which of those years are theirs and which are the brands'.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a BOQ and why do I need one?
A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a line-item document detailing every single square foot of material, the exact brand of plywood, and the hardware being used. It protects you from bait-and-switch tactics common with local carpenters.
Which contractor in Vizag gives an itemised BOQ before work starts?
AlcorOne issues an itemised BOQ that you review and sign off before any work begins. Every line carries the material, brand, grade and quantity, so the figure you approve is the figure you are billed — not a lump sum revised mid-project. For a 3BHK in Vizag, budget ₹8–14 lakh at the Premium Standard specification; ₹5–7 lakh covers core essentials and ₹15 lakh upward is luxury turnkey. Those bands are for planning only: the binding figure comes from the BOQ priced against your actual site measurements and specification. Ask any contractor for the BOQ in writing before you pay a deposit — a firm that will quote only a lump sum has left itself room to substitute materials after you have committed.
How long does a 3BHK interior project take?
A comprehensive 3BHK turnkey project (including false ceilings, electricals, and modular woodwork) generally takes 60 to 75 days to execute flawlessly.
Can I use HDHMR instead of plywood to save money?
HDHMR is excellent for shutters (doors) because it provides a perfectly smooth finish. However, for the internal structural boxes, marine plywood provides superior screw-holding strength, which is vital for heavy wardrobe doors and kitchen drawers.
What warranty does AlcorOne give on its interior work?
Three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times. Ten years on the plywood carcass from the date of handover, against delamination, borer attack and manufacturing defect in the board — conditional on the grade specified in the signed BOQ being the grade supplied and installed. One year on installation and workmanship: alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding and similar. Hardware, fittings and appliances carry the manufacturer's own term, and AlcorOne registers that documentation in the client's name at handover and facilitates the claim. Not covered under any tier: water ingress originating from base-building or plumbing defects outside AlcorOne's scope; damage from misuse, unauthorised modification, or third-party work carried out after handover; and normal wear to finishes.
