I've worked with Agraja and Sushil for two projects now - my Office & Home and I can say that they are excellent at their work. They are patient, understanding and are able to convert any idea into perfect execution.

They believe in their client's vision and come up with solutions for space that balances both aesthetics and functionality. Their professional approach helped us complete the projects in a timely manner. I will highly recommend them.

Project: Residential and Commercial Interior Design

How much will the interiors cost?

Cost of interiors mainly consist of four components 1. Consultation Charges, 2. Cost of execution on site, 3. Civil Work, 4. Styling items & electronics (curtains, mattresses, chimney, fridge, ACs etc.). As a thumb rule ideally one should invest in the range of 10% to 25% of the total property cost. Or one should keep aside budget of Rs. 1200 to Rs. 2500 per sq. ft. area of the place. This budget will ensure use of long lasting materials (up to 20 years) & complete overhaul of the place for better living. 👍

How do you control cost?

There are many ways to do it. 🧐 If client is sure about the range; we suggest design within that limit. After understanding clients requirements and style we generate projected estimate 📃: This gives us rough idea about the cost before design. Once design is done we generate another detailed estimate; which we get optimized and approved from the client before ordering materials. Detailed design process and 3D visuals helps us sort out shape, size and finishes; this leave no room for errors and saves cost. 🙂

How long it takes to complete?

Generally, designing takes 3-6 weeks for flats and 5-8 weeks for villas. For flats (3-4bhk) with existing flooring, wall finishes and bathrooms, execution usually take 12-15 weeks. Interiors is not straightforward process. It has many agencies involved and there is overlap between them. To ensure quality workmanship optimal time should be given to the contractors 👷‍♀️. Rest assured once promised we do not extend our work beyond deadline. 🙂

How do fees work?

"Nothing comes free, nothing. Not even good, especially good" 🙇 Based on expertise, experience and popularity professional Interior designers charge around 8% to 15% of the total project cost. A precise quote can be provided only after our initial consultation. Professional interior designers bring expertise in design principles & budget management. Access to resources, attention to detail, and problem-solving make them valuable partners 🤝 in creating a well-crafted and cohesive environment.

How many options do I get?

We begin the design process with a thorough understanding of your requirement as well as your preferred style. 🖌️ Usually it take one or two revisions before finalizing the design. In the unlikely event that you are not happy with the design that we have shown you, we will be happy to work on additional concept, at no additional charge.* 🤗

What about warranty?

Absolutely! We believe in maintaining long term relationships with our clients. We do not ask our client to follow up brands/vendors for maintenance. We have established a good relationship 🤝 with authorized distributers in Pune. Who value us and thus our clientele; hence they provide excellent service to us. 🙂 We provide exceptional 12 years of warranty* on products under our scope; given that there is no accidental damage involved.

How does the design process start?

We encourage our clients to submit requirements through contact form ✏️. After receiving enquiry one of our co-founders get in touch with the client for detailed requirements. Next we schedule a site visit to get a feel of ambience & scale. Later we set up initial consultation free of charge 🤝 in order to introduce our process. This consultation includes concept design and projected estimate for the entire project.
