Brands & Grades

The categories this room draws on, and nothing it does not. The low end of every band is the studio's standard; the high end is the upgrade. The same carcass, hardware, checks and warranty sit under both. Open a category for what the choice does to the price.

Category	Standard · low band	Upgrade · high band
Carcass plywood The same on both bands. The carcass is never where a price moves, and never MDF or particle board.	Century Sainik 710 or Greenply Gold, IS:710 BWP grade	Century Club Prime 710
Shutters and panelling The board behind every shutter and panel. Board-and-batten and grid panelling ₹800 – 1,300 / sqft finished; flutes ₹850 – 1,650.	Action Tesa or Greenpanel HDHMR, 16–18 mm	The same board. The finish is what changes

Panelled moulding on the two window walls
Plaster cornice to the room
Lighting: picture lights, niche strip, pendant point, dimming

Not in the band

What the site needs

Crockery wall, moulding, cornice and lighting as drawn. Table, chairs, pendant and rug are itemised above, quoted separately. Flooring optional, over the existing floor.

*Indicative and ex-GST, Bengaluru, for the studio's work only — joinery, finishes, ceiling, lighting, curtains, glass and, where the studio does the bathroom, its sanitaryware.
