The questions that come up before a scope request — what we do, what it costs, when you pay, how long it takes, and what is actually warranted. Every figure below is the one published on its own page, not a rounded version of it.
AlcorOne is an execution contractor, not a design studio. Every engagement runs against an itemised Bill of Quantities you sign off, with factory-finished modular work, vendor sequencing, site supervision and weekly photo updates through to a finish-focused handover — residential, office, retail and F&B.
It depends on who you want holding the drawing and who you want answering when the site does not match it. A studio holds design intent; an execution contractor holds the BOQ and the programme; design-and-build merges both into one contract and one point of accountability. There are cases where appointing an independent studio first is the better move, and they are set out in full on the comparison page.
No. The initial site visit is free within Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam and Rajamahendravaram. The first conversation covers site condition, timeline and budget range — enough to say honestly whether we are the right contractor before anyone spends time on drawings.
Within two working days. Sending a floor plan and the possession status with the request is what makes that reply useful — it lets us come back on scope rather than come back asking for drawings.
A floor plan, the possession status of the unit, the date you need to move in, and a budget range. Those four are enough for a first scope conversation.
Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam and Rajamahendravaram. Four of those have an office — Chennai (head office, T. Nagar), Hyderabad (Nanakramguda), Visakhapatnam (Akkayyapalem) and Rajamahendravaram (Aditya Nagar). Bengaluru runs through a resident project manager who comes to your site rather than a walk-in office.
₹3,000–10,000 per sq ft of carpet area, all-in including MEP, HVAC and loose furniture, exclusive of GST. The band tracks building grade and specification rather than city — a Grade-A tower shell and an older building do not land at the same number even in the same city.
₹2,200–4,200 per sq ft, exclusive of GST. That figure excludes the mall's own refundable fit-out deposit, which the tenant pays to the mall rather than to the contractor.
Guest rooms are quoted per key at ₹3–15 lakh, with hotel F&B and public areas quoted per sq ft. Work on a trading property is phased so the property keeps trading rather than shutting down.
Because a per-sq-ft rate fixes the rate, not the scope. It carries assumptions about area basis, exclusions and internal configuration that differ from site to site, and there are five physical differences that make two identical-looking homes cost differently. An itemised BOQ is what makes a number behave like a fixed price.
Normalise them before comparing. Nine variables routinely differ between two interior quotes; the published method works an ₹11 lakh quote against a ₹14 lakh quote line by line, lists six red flags, and gives fifteen questions to put in writing before signing.
No. Every published rate and band on this site is exclusive of GST. Budget the tax on top of the rate rather than assuming it sits inside it.
20% of the total contract value, payable before work begins and adjusted against the final invoice.
Against milestones tied to project progress — material procurement, civil and carpentry completion, finishing and handover. The exact milestone schedule is agreed in writing for each project and stated in that project's payment schedule, because it moves with size, scope and site condition.
Anything not in the signed BOQ is out of scope until it is agreed in writing as a variation. Variations are costed and confirmed in writing before execution, with the price and timeline impact agreed per change — no two variation requests carry the same impact.
Timely site access, approvals on design and material sign-offs, and payment per the agreed milestone schedule. Delay on any of the three moves the programme, which is why they are written down rather than assumed.
Anchored to delivered projects rather than an estimate: a 600 sq ft premium office in Siruseri took five weeks; a Hyderabad office roughly ten; a 5,450 sq ft Chennai office roughly twelve, from signed scope to handover. Duration tracks area and scope, not city.
The published Visakhapatnam apartment — living and kitchen through pooja room and study — ran as a fourteen-week programme. Your own date is estimated at BOQ stage against scope and site readiness, then confirmed in the project's written schedule.
Three things, in order of frequency: a client-side approval that sits, site access that does not open when it was meant to, and a variation agreed mid-programme. Association permits and restricted work hours are the fourth — but those are knowable at survey stage, so a programme that slips on them is a planning failure rather than an external event.
Yes — commercial fit-outs are programmed backwards from the occupancy or opening date, with sequenced procurement, on-site supervision and progress reporting against it. A published restaurant fit-out was delivered in six weeks against exactly that constraint.
Three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times. Ten years on the plywood carcass of modular kitchens, wardrobes and fixed joinery against delamination, borer attack and manufacturing defect. One year on installation and workmanship — alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding. Hardware, fittings and appliances carry the manufacturer's own term, registered in your name at handover.
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. Once the one-year workmanship cover expires, an optional annual preventive maintenance service is available on a chargeable basis, quoted per project.
BWP to IS:710 in wet zones, BWR to IS:303 above splash lines, stated per zone in the BOQ rather than named once for the whole project. The ten-year carcass cover applies provided the grade named in the signed BOQ was the grade supplied and installed — which is exactly why stating it per zone is what makes the warranty checkable.
Häfele, Hettich or Ebco, chosen per BOQ rather than per supplier deal. Each publishes its own mechanism warranty, and that documentation is registered in the client's name at handover.
Workmanship defects identified during the handover snag-list process are rectified before final sign-off at no additional cost. Snag closure is part of the programme, not a favour after it.
Yes. NRI and out-of-city owners make up a large share of the book, and the reporting cadence exists for them rather than being bolted on. It applies to every city and every project type.
The hours actually worked, commitments made, blockers, expected works for the coming week, and dated photographs. A complete real weekly report is published in full on this site and downloadable as a PDF, so the format can be judged before appointing anyone.
AlcorOne does. Association NOCs, permitted work hours, service-lift booking, common-area protection and debris scheduling are handled with the RWA and facility manager directly, rather than left to an owner in another country.
Yes. AlcorOne Solutions LLP, LLPIN ABA-8073, GSTIN 33ABXFA6886C1Z0, Udyam registration UDYAM-TN-02-0125144, registered office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Chennai.
80+ turnkey residential, villa and commercial fit-outs since 2022. Twenty-two are published with photography, video or a written case study; the rest are unpublished, mostly because the client asked for privacy or no usable photo record was made at handover. Three design proposals are listed separately and are drawings only, not delivered work.
One of the two principals, throughout. Pradeep Kumar Vasadi owns delivery — site survey, vendor sequencing, supervision, snag closure and handover. Gogineni Kalyaan Kumar owns cost estimation, the itemised BOQ, and the reporting cadence for owners who cannot visit. There is no handoff from a sales team to a separate execution crew.
Judge the document, not the render. Ask for an itemised Bill of Quantities before you pay anything, check that the board grade is stated per zone rather than once for the whole project, check that the hardware is named by brand and series, and check that the payment schedule is tied to physical milestones rather than to elapsed weeks. A firm unwilling to put those in writing before a deposit is telling you how the project will run.
Fifteen, all answerable in writing: which area basis the rate uses; whether GST is inside the figure; whether a line-item BOQ will be issued before signing; the core material grade for wet zones and dry zones separately; the hardware brand and series by name; whether electrical and civil work are in scope; whether false ceiling is included and in which rooms; the countertop material; which appliances are in scope; the payment schedule against physical milestones; the completion period in weeks; what happens if it slips; the defect liability period and what it covers; who supervises the site; and what the handover process is.
A single lump sum with no line items. A board grade named once for the whole project instead of per zone. Hardware described as "branded" without a series. A per-sq-ft rate with no stated area basis. Payment weighted heavily to the front, ahead of progress. And a warranty quoted as one headline number, which usually means three different covers with three different expiries have been collapsed into one.
Depends on how settled the design is. If the drawing set is still moving, an independent studio first is often the better appointment — it reduces the variations that arrive mid-build, and variations are where budgets actually go. If the layout is settled and the job is execution, appointing the contractor directly removes a layer and a fee. AlcorOne publishes the cases where a studio is the better first call, including the ones that lose us the work.
Sometimes genuinely yes. A client-side PMC earns its fee where the contract is large, the client has no technical representation, or multiple contractors need coordinating. Where the BOQ is already open and itemised and one contractor is accountable end to end, it adds a review layer rather than protection. Worth knowing who is arguing which side and why.
Ask what expires when. A real warranty is not one number: the board, the workmanship and the hardware fail differently and are covered differently. Ask for the board grade it is conditional on, ask what is explicitly excluded, and ask who you claim from on hardware — if the answer is the contractor rather than the manufacturer, ask what happens when the contractor is gone.
Not reliably. Two quotes for the same flat differ on nine variables before any of them touches quality, and the gap is usually scope that was quietly excluded rather than a better rate. Normalise both quotes onto the same scope first; the published worked example takes an ₹11 lakh quote against a ₹14 lakh one and shows where the difference actually sits.
The scope in writing, the material grades per zone, the milestone schedule the balance is released against, and the completion period in weeks. AlcorOne takes 20% of contract value up front, adjusted against the final invoice — but the BOQ is signed before that, not after.
Check what is missing rather than what is listed. The lines most often left out are electrical and civil work, false ceiling in some rooms, the countertop, appliances, loose furniture and GST. A quote that omits six of those will always beat one that includes them, right up until the work starts.
Carpenter-made usually wins on the day-one number and loses on the things the quote never priced: hard water on unsuitable hardware, edge banding under summer heat, and the flat as a workshop for weeks. There are cases where a site carpenter is genuinely the right call, and the published comparison names them — written by a firm whose own joinery is made by carpenters, so read it with that in mind.
Three ways to buy the same outcome, differing in who holds the drawing and who answers when the site does not match it. A studio holds design intent and is paid against drawing stages. An execution contractor holds the BOQ and the programme and is paid against build progress. Design-and-build merges both, which is convenient and also why the line between design fee and build cost is hard to read in it.
BWP to IS:710 in wet zones, BWR to IS:303 above splash lines, and HDHMR where a flat warp-free surface matters more than water contact — shutters and paint-finish work. The point is that the grade is stated per zone in the BOQ. A single grade named for a whole project is what makes a ten-year carcass warranty unenforceable.
A package fixes the rate, not the scope. It carries assumptions about area basis, exclusions and internal configuration that differ from site to site, which is why the number moves after signing. There are cases where packages genuinely are the right product; there are also four specific things that make an itemised BOQ behave like a fixed price, which is usually what the buyer actually wanted.
A quotation states a price. A BOQ states what the price is made of — each item, its quantity, its material grade and its rate — which is what makes it checkable during the build and enforceable at handover. You can compare two BOQs. You cannot really compare two quotations.
Only if you know what it covers. A longer period on workmanship is worth something; a longer headline number that quietly excludes the board, the hardware and anything the manufacturer covers anyway is worth very little. Compare the exclusions, not the duration.
Both numbers reach a principal directly, Monday to Saturday, 10:00–19:00 IST. For a costed scope the fastest route is the scope request form — it captures the site details we need to quote without a call. Full contact details and office addresses are on the contact page.
