Aminjikarai · Modular kitchen
Modular kitchen cost in Aminjikarai
In Aminjikarai's resale flats, the kitchen is usually the room buyers most want to redo. It is often a narrow space with an old granite platform, open shelves underneath and a loft above, plus a utility balcony beside it. A modular kitchen here is mostly about reworking that layout so it is easier to clean and holds more.

Planning interiors in Aminjikarai
A central residential pocket between Anna Nagar and Chetpet, with older apartment blocks and newer mid-rise developments.
- Many older Aminjikarai kitchens have a utility balcony next door, which can take the washing machine, a second sink and tall storage to free the main kitchen.
- Old platforms are sometimes reused as a base for new drawer modules, saving demolition, though uneven slabs are better replaced.
- Medium moisture risk and older plumbing make BWP plywood under the sink and edge-banded shutters especially important.
- Families moving from larger homes in Anna Nagar often bring more vessels than a compact kitchen expects, so tall units and deep drawers are valuable.
Estimates cover design, modular carpentry, installation and a 12-year woodwork warranty. Civil, electrical, painting, appliances and countertops are usually quoted separately. See full inclusions & specifications

Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Use the utility balcony
Shift the washing machine and bulk storage to the utility so the kitchen holds only cooking essentials.
- 02
Assess the old platform
Ask the designer whether the existing slab is level and sound enough to keep. If not, replacing it gives better drawers.
- 03
Fit tall units for provisions
A pantry pull-out or tall unit holds rice, dal and oil in bulk without crowding the counter.
- 04
Fix leaks under the sink
Repair any seepage before installation and use BWP plywood for the sink cabinet.
- 05
Choose appliances first
Decide hob, chimney and fridge sizes before cabinet design so cut-outs and points are correct.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What does a modular kitchen cost for an Aminjikarai 3BHK?
For a 3BHK, approximately ₹69K – ₹1.3L in Basic, ₹83K – ₹1.5L in Premium and ₹97K – ₹1.8L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST.
Can I keep my existing granite platform?
If it is level and sound, yes. Base modules are fitted below it. If it is chipped or uneven, replacing it usually gives a better finish.
Should the washing machine go in the kitchen?
Where possible, place it in the utility balcony. It frees cabinet space and keeps the kitchen cleaner.
Which shutter finish is best for daily cooking?
Matte laminates are durable and hide marks well. Acrylic gives a glossy look but needs more frequent wiping.
How long will the kitchen take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design approval, with a few days on site for dismantling and installation.
