Interior Cost Guide for South India

A single, itemised interior cost guide linking every AlcorOne cost breakdown — by room, by scope and by city — so you can budget an interior with a transparent BOQ instead of a round-number quote.

7 min readPillar GuideUpdated 14 Aug 2026

This interior cost guide is the hub for every AlcorOne cost breakdown across South India. Whether you are pricing a 2BHK, a 3BHK, a modular kitchen or a full turnkey villa, the honest number depends on materials, hardware grade and scope — not a per-square-foot round figure. Below, each cost guide is grouped by city and by room so you can build a realistic budget from an itemised Bill of Quantities (BOQ) rather than a headline quote.

Our approach across Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Vizag is the same: price the substrate (BWP/BWR ply, HDHMR), the hardware brand and grade, the finish (laminate, acrylic, PU, veneer) and the site work separately, so nothing hides inside a lump sum. Use this interior cost guide to move from a vague budget to a line-item scope.

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 Hyderabad runs in three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times — a single headline figure would misrepresent all three.

AlcorOne warranty tiers, running from the date of handover
TierTermWhat it covers
Carcass — plywood10 yearsDelamination, 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 workmanship1 yearDefects attributable to how the work was built and fitted — alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding and similar.
Hardware, fittings and appliancesManufacturer's own termHinges, 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.

How much does a full home interior cost in South India?

A 2BHK typically runs ₹8–15 lakh and a 3BHK ₹15–25 lakh, but the honest figure depends on plywood grade (BWP vs commercial), hardware brand, finishes and how much loose furniture you include. Use the room-by-room guides above to build the number bottom-up from a BOQ.

Why do per-square-foot quotes vary so much between vendors?

A per-sq-ft rate hides what substrate and hardware you are getting. One vendor's ₹1,600/sq ft may use MR ply and generic hinges; another's uses BWP ply and Hettich/Blum hardware. Always compare the itemised BOQ, not the headline rate.

Are costs different across Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Vizag?

Yes. Coastal cities like Chennai and Vizag need BWP marine plywood and SS 304 hardware to resist humidity and salt air, which raises the material baseline versus inland Hyderabad or Bengaluru.

What is the biggest hidden cost homeowners miss?

Site work — electrical shifting, false ceiling for AC/lighting, waterproofing and civil changes — plus loose furnishings. The hidden-costs guide above lists the line items that quietly inflate a budget.

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.

A trustworthy interior budget starts with an itemised BOQ, not a round-number quote. Every guide linked above breaks pricing down to substrate, hardware, finish and site work so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
