How Esteem Prices Your Home Interiors — A Completely Transparent Guide

How Esteem Prices Your Home Interiors — A Completely Transparent Guide

Design First — Then Talk Budget

Most interior studios show you a catalogue, quote a lakh figure, and ask you to decide. We do the opposite. At Esteem Interior, every project starts with locking your design before we talk about execution costs. You can only make a sensible budget decision when you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Here is our complete pricing structure, explained without jargon.

Step 1 — Invest in a Design Package

The design fee is your entry point. It covers 3D visualisations, moodboards, and 2D working drawings for every room.

Property TypeDesign Package Fee
2BHK₹20,000
3BHK₹30,000
4BHK / Villa₹40,000 – ₹50,000 (based on size)

This fee includes Pinterest-style moodboards, 3D room visualisations, and 2D working drawings for electrical points, false ceiling, wardrobes, and kitchen layouts. Once your design is frozen, you choose how to proceed.

Step 2 — Choose Your Execution Model

You have two clear paths once the design is approved:

  • Turnkey — We handle design, materials, and execution. One team, one point of contact, one warranty.
  • Only Execution — You manage materials; we provide professional labour and site supervision.

A. Turnkey: Design + Materials + Execution

This is the most popular choice for end-users who want a stress-free experience. We source materials, manage vendors, supervise the site, and hand over your finished home.

Turnkey is quoted per square foot. We offer four material quality ranges so your budget can grow with your expectations:

1. Core Range — Reliable, Budget-Friendly

Best for rental homes or first-time buyers who want a neat, functional interior without premium materials.

  • Plywood: Gurjan BWR grade
  • Boards: HDF
  • Laminates: 0.8 mm standard range

Typical reference pricing: Box from ~₹1,250/sft · Frame from ~₹700/sft

2. Standard Range — Best Value for Owner-Occupied Homes

Stronger moisture resistance and branded laminates. This is the sweet spot for most 2BHK and 3BHK owners in Telangana.

  • Plywood: Gurjan BWP / Century BWR
  • Boards: HDHMR
  • Laminates & hardware: Virgo 1 mm laminates with Zipco hardware

Typical reference pricing: Box from ~₹1,450/sft · Frame from ~₹800/sft

3. Premium Range — Long-Term Homes

Branded cores and mid-to-high finishes for homeowners who plan to live here for 15+ years.

  • Plywood: Century Sainik 710 range
  • Boards: Action Tesa HDHMR
  • Laminates & hardware: Laminates up to ₹1,800/sheet with Ebco hardware

Typical reference pricing: Box from ~₹1,650/sft · Frame from ~₹950/sft

Premium plywood, top-tier hardware, and designer-grade finishes for villas and high-end apartments.

  • Plywood: Century Club Prime
  • Boards: Action Tesa Boilo / premium HDHMR
  • Laminates & hardware: Laminates up to ₹2,500/sheet with Hettich / Ebco hardware

Typical reference pricing: Box from ~₹1,850/sft · Frame from ~₹1,100/sft

What Happens During an Esteem Design Session?

Our process is structured so you are never confused or pressured at any stage:

  1. Meet Your Designer — Share your floor plan, inspiration images, and budget range. Your designer maps out your storage needs and lifestyle requirements.
  2. Material Walkthrough at Our Office — We show you real samples of plywood grades, laminates, and hardware so you can touch and compare quality ranges before deciding.
  3. 3D Designs & Working Drawings — We create room-by-room 3D visualisations and 2D working drawings. You review and refine until fully satisfied.
  4. Clear, Itemised Proposal — Once the design is frozen, you receive a detailed quote broken down by room and scope. No vague "package" pricing.
