Two quotes for the same kitchen can differ by 40% and both be honest, because one is priced per running foot and the other per square foot. Until a quote states its basis, its core material and its exclusions, it is not comparable with anything.
The two bases give different totals for identical work, and neither quote usually says which surfaces were counted. This single ambiguity explains most of the gap between competing interior quotes.
The standards are IS:710 for boiling-waterproof plywood and IS:303 for boiling-water-resistant. MDF and particle board are neither. A quote that names no standard has specified nothing.
Civil work, electrical points, plumbing shifts, countertops and appliances usually sit outside an interiors scope. Discovering that after the advance is how the trade earns its reputation.
Work cannot start before design freeze and final site measurement. Dating the schedule from the payment sets up a delay that was structural from day one.
How we build it
Not a feature list — each of these exists because of a specific problem above.
Basis of measurement on every scope, plus which surfaces are counted
Core material named by Indian Standard — IS:710 for wet zones, IS:303 for dry
A deliberate case for the cheaper IS:303 in bedrooms, arguing against the studio's own upsell
Hardware make and series, and edge banding thickness, as spec rows — the exact lines a cheaper quote drops
A written exclusion list per scope: civil, electrical, plumbing, countertop, appliances, ceiling, painting
One indicative total labelled 'NOT a quotation', with what has to happen before it becomes firm
Timelines dated from design freeze, naming the real dependency
Complete working storefronts. Open one and use it — the filters, the cart and the product pages are all real.
Per running foot, or per square foot?
KIT-LSH-RFTAn interiors studio site that states the basis of measurement, names the core material by IS standard, and publishes what a quotation excludes — so two quotes can finally be compared.
They can undercut you today by quoting a thinner scope. Publishing the basis and the core is what makes that visible. The studios this hurts are the ones relying on the customer not asking.
We would not recommend starting there. Interiors close on a site visit and a measured drawing, and a browser configurator produces leads that have to be re-quoted anyway. The scope sheet does more for conversion.
Show them as indicative rates for comparison, which is how the demo labels them, and keep the firm figure on the quotation. That is both honest and easier to maintain.
It is the single biggest visual upgrade available to this theme. The design is complete without it, but completed-site photography of your own work is what converts a considered enquiry.
What you sell and roughly how many products. We come back with which theme fits, a timeline and a price — before you commit to anything.
