Turnkey home interiors in Bangalore: what is included and how it works

With a turnkey project, one company takes your empty flat or house and hands it back finished: walls, ceilings, wiring, lighting, paint and every piece of furniture. You deal with one team, one schedule and one itemised quote instead of five separate contractors.

Why families choose turnkey

• One point of contact instead of chasing several contractors
• Work happens in the right order, so nothing is redone
• One itemised quote and one schedule
• One team responsible for how it all fits together

The usual sequence

Work follows a fixed order so nothing is redone. Civil changes and plumbing come first, then electrical points and concealed wiring, then the false ceiling, then putty and paint. Kitchen, wardrobes and furniture are built in parallel in our factory and installed once the dusty work is done. Final cleaning and a walk-through finish the handover.

What is usually included

• Civil work: wall changes, kitchen platforms, tiling, waterproofing
• Plumbing: concealed lines, sink, dishwasher, RO and utility points
• Electrical and lighting: rewiring, switch layouts, chimney and hob points, lights
• False ceiling: gypsum, POP or wooden ceilings with cove lighting
• Paint and finishes: putty, paint, textures, wallpaper, panelling
• Furniture: kitchen, wardrobes, TV unit, beds, crockery, study and pooja units

At Decorguys, electrical work is done by our in-house team; plumbing, gas and civil work by trusted partner vendors, all coordinated by your Decorguys project lead.

How long it takes

Most homes are handed over within 45 working days of design sign-off. Work starts once the 2D designs are approved and 60% of the project value is received. If a delay is on our side, we compensate you Rs 5,000 a month, pro-rata, after a 14-day grace period, as written in your agreement.

How payments work

In five stages: 10% to book, 25% when you approve the 3D design, 25% on contract confirmation, 35% when material is dispatched, and the final 5% before finishing items like mirrors and glass. You get a receipt for every payment.

What to check before you sign

• An itemised quote, inclusive of GST, with every service listed
• Board grades and hardware brands written in the agreement
• A dated schedule and what happens if it slips
• The warranty: what it covers and for how long
• A joint final inspection and a signed handover document

Our new flat checklist walks through every stage, and our 2BHK and 3BHK cost guide helps you budget.

Turnkey vs hiring separately

Your role during the project

• Share how you live: who cooks, who works from home, what you store
• Approve the 2D layout and 3D designs on time, because work starts from the approved drawings
• Get society permissions for working hours and material movement
• Visit at the key stages: after electrical points are marked, before woodwork installation and at handover

Getting the most from a turnkey company

Ask to see completed homes and, if they have one, their factory. Check that the quote names the board grades and hardware brands, and that warranty terms are written down. A turnkey company that makes its own furniture controls the longest part of the project directly, which keeps timelines realistic.
