Modular kitchen cost calculator

Most quotations differ for four reasons, and only one of them is visible once the kitchen is installed. Understanding them is the difference between comparing quotes properly and comparing them on price alone.

The carcass is the box behind the shutter. It is the part you never see and the part that decides whether the kitchen survives ten Delhi monsoons. Particle board is consistently the cheapest line on a quotation and consistently the first thing to fail — once water reaches the core it swells and does not recover. BWP plywood and HDHMR cost more up front and are the reason a kitchen still closes properly a decade later.

The shutter finish is the visible surface, and it carries the widest price spread of any choice here — lacquered glass costs close to three times laminate for the same cabinet. This is where a budget is most easily rebalanced: keeping a premium carcass with a laminate finish is almost always a better long-term decision than the reverse.

Hardware and accessories are the part homeowners under-budget most often. Soft-close hinges, tandem boxes, corner carousels and pull-outs are what make a kitchen pleasant to use daily, and they can account for a fifth of the total.

Layout complexity adds a smaller premium than most people expect. Corners need specialised joinery and hardware, so a U-shaped kitchen costs slightly more per running foot than a straight run — but the difference is marginal next to material choices.

Eagle Decor runs its own modular furniture manufacturing unit in Delhi NCR rather than outsourcing fabrication. Cutting, pressing, edge banding and painting all happen under one roof, which is why our timelines hold and why the finish is consistent from one cabinet to the next.

If you want the estimate above turned into a real quotation, we measure the site, resolve the layout, and price the actual cabinet schedule.
