Dear Mr. Amal, I am Ravi Prakash and I am an Architect. Congrats, You are fortunate to have a 1790sqft. 3bhk unit keeping in mind that its gurgaon. Just a little query; is it built-up area or carpet area? Built-up area is everything while carpet area is area we get excluding the walls (or simply the floor area). As you have not mentioned much of your requirement, i am assuming you are looking for complete work including kitchen, ceiling, paints, furniture's and more. Just for a tentative idea, a decent (basic to moderate) interior work may vary from Rs. 800/sqft.-1500sqft). And if its a high end work it may cost Rs.2000/sqft and higher. For your help, based on my experience and observation i would say, its safer to keep the budget around Rs.1000/sqft.- Rs.1200/sqft. to get the best quality work. So, roughly it may cost you around Rs.18 Lacs (or Rs.15lacs for lower side). Also Keeping in the mind that its an apartment, your builder must have provided you with some basic works like flooring, electrical, plumbing and such thing, these things may help to cut down and reduce the cost up to certain level. Hope this will help you a bit. :) I would request you to go thru my profile. For any further information or for any professional assistance, you may contact me. Thanks and Regards, Ar. Ravi Prakash

Bhaskar, IMHO, there is no right or wrong for any interior design projects. What suits one family may not suit another. Readymade and custom built have their own pros and cons. You need to decide it based on your preferences/ availability. I would agree that it is extremely confusing for a new person. But, it is more often so because we try to do to much work ourselves. While we rarely question other professions like the builder on the materials , design, finish e.t.c. when it comes to designing we want to be our own designers to fix everything. Participating in the design process is good. Some people are born with the eye for details and others just think that they are good at it. It's the second bunch that takes most of the hit. For e.g. You would see some recent posts here where homeowners decided to call their own shots and ended up making extremely costly mistakes. Feels bad because they will end up living with it for a lifetime. Long rant :). Coming back, to get a uniform comparable quotes - Hire a design consultant, draft the designs and specify all the possible material, measurements hardware details . Prepeare a BOQ and share this with the vendors and then request a quote am sure you will get better comparable numbers. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

Dear Mr. Maverick, Hope you are doing great. Seeing at your post its very clear that you are a passionate person and taking your designing process seriously. Also you are accepting that you are not a designer yourself which is a good gesture against those clients who think themselves superior when it comes to design choices but knows nothing in real. I agree with above replies to share some information about your house starting with the floor plans as without these no one would be able to help you in any way. Also you need to understand that designing is a subjective and time consuming process and doesn't happen in an instant. If its just about getting ideas then you can find millions on google search. But being on Houzz platform is a great thing as its full of many talented professionals contributing to the solutions best way possible. I hereby offer my services and request you to go thru my profile and works and see if it interests you. I can show more interesting works if you insist. Let me know for further more as i am offering my services remotely as well including couple projects in Ireland. Best Regards, - Ar. Ravi Prakash Email- ar.ravi2013@gmail.com
