# What interiors cost in Vizag, and what moves the number.

Rate bands are useless without the material grade attached to them. Below are the bands we actually contract at in Vizag in 2026, the per-area breakdown behind each one, and the specific coastal decisions that push a project to the top or bottom of its range.

## Read the band *with its grade.*

Two quotes for the same Vizag flat can differ by 40% and both be honest — one specified IS 710 BWP marine plywood in the wet zones and stainless hardware, the other specified commercial board and plated hinges. On this coast that is not a finish-level preference; it decides whether the kitchen survives five monsoons.

So every figure below is stated against a material grade. A number without one cannot be compared to anything.

### What is included

Modular joinery, wardrobes, TV and storage units, false ceiling where specified, electrical shifts, painting, and deep cleaning at handover. Priced from a line-item BOQ, not a per-square-foot lump sum.

### What is not

Civil and structural changes, countertop stone, appliances, loose furniture, curtains, and any builder-handover rectification. These are quoted separately so they cannot be quietly absorbed into a headline rate.

### Why coastal costs more

BWP marine grade in wet zones, SS 304 hardware throughout, and anti-corrosive treatment on exposed metal add roughly 8–15% over an inland specification. That is the premium that prevents rust-bleed and delamination.

## Vizag rate bands *by property type.*

Bands for turnkey interiors in premium materials — IS 710 BWP in wet zones, MR/BWR in dry zones, premium laminate, SS 304 hardware.

Turnkey interior cost by property type, Vizag

| Property type | Typical scope | Cost band (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| 2BHK apartment | Kitchen, two bedrooms, living, misc. electrical and painting | 5L – 9L |
| 3BHK apartment | Kitchen, three bedrooms, living and foyer, false ceiling | 8L – 14L |
| Villa / duplex | Multi-level joinery, staircase, larger kitchen, outdoor-facing areas | 25L – 50L |
| Modular kitchen only | Standard 10x8ft, base and wall units, no stone or appliances | 1.7L – 2.5L |

**Basis:** AlcorOne execution rates as of August 2026, exclusive of GST. Indicative range for planning; the binding figure comes from an itemised BOQ against the actual site measurements and specification.

2BHK per-area breakdown (BWP + premium laminate)

| Area | Description | Est. cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Modular kitchen | Base and wall units, tandem drawers, SS 304 accessories | 1.8L – 2.5L |
| Master bedroom | Sliding wardrobe with loft, bed with storage | 1.2L – 1.6L |
| Guest / kids bedroom | Hinged wardrobe with loft, basic study unit | 90K – 1.2L |
| Living room | Custom TV unit, shoe rack, basic false ceiling | 80K – 1.2L |
| Miscellaneous | Electrical shifts, deep cleaning, standard painting | 50K – 80K |

3BHK per-area breakdown (BWP + premium laminate)

| Area | Description | 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 and foyer | TV unit, display shelving, shoe rack, false ceiling | 1.5L – 2.0L |

Where the money goes inside a modular kitchen (standard 10x8ft)

| Component | Material specification | Est. cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Base cabinets (carcass) | IS 710 BWP marine plywood — non-negotiable in this zone | 50K – 70K |
| Wall cabinets (carcass) | BWP marine or premium MR plywood | 40K – 60K |
| Shutters | Premium laminate with machine edge-banding | 40K – 60K |
| Hardware and accessories | SS 304 hinges, heavy-duty tandem drawers | 40K – 60K |
| Total | Excludes civil work and countertop stone | 1.7L – 2.5L |

Bands assume a flat in reasonable handover condition. Active seepage, out-of-plumb walls, or hollow flooring found at survey are quoted as separate rectification rather than absorbed into the joinery rate.

## What pushes a project *to the top of its band.*

### Distance from the sea

Beach Road, Rushikonda and Bheemili-facing properties carry a heavier anti-corrosive specification. Salt-laden air attacks plated hardware and exposed fasteners first, and replacing them later costs more than specifying stainless at the outset.

### Shutter finish

Premium laminate sits at the base of the band. Acrylic and PU add materially to shutter cost. The carcass grade underneath matters more for longevity than the finish on top of it.

### Sliding versus hinged

Sliding wardrobe systems cost more than hinged and need a rail specification that tolerates coastal grit. Cheap rails in Vizag jam within a year.

### Loft and ceiling height

Vizag towers vary in slab height. A taller floor-to-slab dimension means more loft volume, more board, and more labour at height.

### False ceiling extent

A perimeter cove in the living room is modest. A full-flat ceiling with cove lighting throughout is one of the largest single add-ons available.

### Site condition at takeover

Hollow tiles, uneven plaster, and plumbing shifts are all rectification work. Discovered late, they force rework of joinery that has already been installed.

## Questions we *hear most.*

### What does a 2BHK interior cost in Vizag in 2026?

₹5–9 lakh for a full turnkey scope in premium materials — IS 710 BWP marine plywood in wet zones, MR or BWR grade in dry zones, premium laminate shutters, and SS 304 hardware. The kitchen alone accounts for ₹1.8–2.5 lakh of that. Quotes materially below this band almost always substitute commercial-grade board in the kitchen, which is the one place on this coast it should never go.

### What does a 3BHK interior cost in Vizag?

₹8–14 lakh for turnkey interiors in the same specification. The step up from a 2BHK is not proportional to the extra room: a larger kitchen, an additional wardrobe with loft, and a bigger living-and-foyer ceiling scope together account for most of the difference.

### What does a villa interior cost in Vizag?

₹25–50 lakh, with wide variance driven by built-up area, the number of levels, and how much of the scope faces outdoors. Staircase joinery, double-height features, and outdoor-adjacent areas carry both a higher material specification and more coordination than an equivalent square footage inside an apartment.

### What does a modular kitchen cost in Vizag?

₹1.7–2.5 lakh for a standard 10x8ft kitchen, excluding countertop stone, appliances, and civil work. Roughly a third of that is carcass, a third shutters, and a third hardware and accessories. In a coastal kitchen the carcass grade is the line item worth defending — IS 710 BWP under the sink is not an upgrade, it is the minimum that survives.

### Why are Vizag interiors more expensive than the same work inland?

Roughly 8–15% more, driven by three things: IS 710 BWP marine plywood in all wet zones instead of MR grade, SS 304 stainless hardware instead of plated mild steel, and anti-corrosive treatment on exposed metal. Salt-laden air reaches well inland from the coast here. The premium buys the difference between joinery that lasts a decade and hardware that shows rust-bleed in the second year.

### Is a per-square-foot rate a reliable way to compare quotes?

No, and it is the most common way homeowners get caught. A per-square-foot figure hides the carcass grade, the hardware brand, the shutter finish, and what is excluded. Two quotes at the same rate can differ by years of service life. Insist on a line-item BOQ with material grade and brand named against each line — then the rates are actually comparable.

### What is not included in these bands?

Civil and structural changes, countertop stone, appliances, loose furniture, curtains and blinds, and rectification of builder-handover defects. We quote these separately rather than folding them into a headline number, because bundling them is how a quote appears competitive and then grows during execution.

### How much should I keep as contingency?

Eight to ten per cent of the contracted value. On apartment projects the usual draws on it are handover defects discovered once existing finishes are opened up, and electrical shifts that only become obvious after the joinery layout is finalised. A contingency you did not need is a better outcome than a scope you had to cut at the finishing stage.

### Can the work be phased to spread the cost?

Yes. The sensible sequence is kitchen and master bedroom first, then remaining wardrobes, then living-room joinery and false ceiling. Phasing costs slightly more overall because of repeated mobilisation, and any phase that involves concealed electrical work should be planned in the first phase even if the visible joinery comes later.

### How are payments structured?

Against a signed BOQ, in stages tied to completed and inspected work rather than to calendar dates. A large advance with no completion milestone attached is the single clearest warning sign in this trade. Change orders are priced and approved in writing before execution.

### Do these bands apply to NRI owners managing the project remotely?

The rate bands are the same — we do not price remote clients differently. What changes is the reporting: documented stage photographs, video walkthroughs at milestones, and written approvals before each stage releases. Our Vizag NRI page sets out how that works in practice.

### How current are these figures?

They reflect what we are contracting at in Vizag as of the date on this page, and they move with plywood and hardware pricing. Material costs in this trade shift more than most homeowners expect over a year, so treat any published band, including this one, as a planning range and get a dated BOQ before committing.
