Why Interior Costs Explode

Contractors frequently submit low initial bids by omitting crucial items like electrical point shifting, false ceiling LED drivers, ply core thickness, and GST.

The Watertight Interior Checklist

1. Detailed Itemized BOQ: Specify the exact brand, grade, and thickness of plywood (e.g., IS:710 Marine Grade BWP) and hardware (e.g., Hettich/Hafele soft-close hinges).

2. Milestone-Based Payment Schedule:

10% on 3D design finalization & BOQ signoff
40% on delivery of raw plywood & hardware at site
25% on carcass assembly completion
15% on laminate pressing & painting
10% Retention: Paid 30 days after moving in to fix snag list issues.
