Carpenter quotes in Delhi can be confusing. Always ask clearly:
Labour only: The carpenter provides only work. You buy all materials (wood, ply, hardware, laminates, hinges).
Labour + material: The carpenter sources everything. Convenient but you pay a margin on materials. Get a material list and verify prices separately.
Turnkey: Complete job including materials, labour, and polish. Most modular kitchen and wardrobe work is quoted this way.
Always get an itemized quote for any work above ₹5,000.
The quality of plywood significantly affects the final result and cost.
Commercial ply (cheapest): Not moisture resistant. Fine for internal parts of furniture not exposed to moisture. ₹30–₹50/sq ft.
MR (Moisture Resistant) ply: Good for most furniture. ₹50–₹80/sq ft.
BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) ply: Best for kitchen and bathroom. ₹80–₹120/sq ft.
Marine ply: Highest quality, used for outdoor and bathroom applications. ₹120–₹180/sq ft.
Always specify BWR or MR ply for kitchens. Using cheap commercial ply in kitchens causes swelling within 1–2 years.

What is the cost of modular kitchen in Delhi? A basic modular kitchen in Delhi costs ₹50,000–₹80,000 for labour and materials (commercial ply, basic laminates). Premium modular kitchens with BWR ply, branded hardware, and acrylic shutters cost ₹1,20,000–₹2,50,000+.
How long does wardrobe installation take? A standard 2-door wardrobe takes 2–3 days for a carpenter to make on-site. Readymade modular wardrobes take 4–8 hours to assemble and install.
Is teak wood worth the extra cost? Teak is extremely durable and termite-resistant. For door frames and outdoor applications, yes it's worth it. For interior furniture, good quality ply with the right finish gives similar results at half the cost.
Can a carpenter fix a broken hinge or lock? Yes. Minor hardware repairs take 15–30 minutes and cost ₹200–₹500 including the new fitting.
What is PU polish and is it better than regular polish? PU (polyurethane) polish gives a hard, glossy, scratch-resistant finish. It's more durable than NC lacquer and is the preferred choice for modular furniture. It costs more but lasts 8–10 years.
