Modular kitchen cost in Kodambakkam
Kitchens in Kodambakkam flats are usually compact, with a single straight wall or a small L, a window over the sink and limited space for a fridge. Getting the cost right means planning every running foot of cabinet to do real work, rather than adding units that look full but hold little.

Planning interiors in Kodambakkam
A well-connected, mid-density neighbourhood known for its film industry links, mixing older apartments with newer mid-rise projects.
- Many older apartments here have a cement slab counter with open shelves below. Replacing it with a modular kitchen often means breaking the slab and redoing the dado tiles, which adds civil cost.
- Compact straight kitchens benefit more from deep drawers and a tall pull-out unit than from extra wall cabinets, which can crowd a narrow room.
- Moderate humidity and daily wet cleaning make BWP plywood a sensible choice for the sink base, while the rest of the carcass can follow the chosen package.
- Owners in newer metro-area flats often cook lightly on weekdays, so a slim breakfast counter or a small appliance garage for the toaster and coffee maker is a common request.
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

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Choose appliances before cabinets
Decide on the hob, chimney and fridge model first. Cabinet widths and electrical points can then be sized so nothing needs reworking.
- 02
Favour drawers over shutters
Tandem drawers for vessels and a cutlery tray make a small kitchen far easier to use than deep hinged cabinets where things get lost.
- 03
Plan the chimney duct route
In older buildings the exhaust route may need a new opening in the wall. Confirm this early so the wall cabinet layout allows for it.
- 04
Pick an easy-clean shutter
Matte laminates or acrylic with sealed edges handle oil and steam well. Very glossy shutters show fingerprints quickly in a busy kitchen.
- 05
Fix the countertop before production
Choose granite or quartz before cabinets go to the factory so the sink and hob cut-outs line up correctly at installation.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I keep my existing granite counter?
Sometimes. If the granite is in good condition and the base height suits you, modular units can be fitted below it. The designer will check its level and depth during the site visit.
What does a Premium kitchen include over Basic?
Premium, at approximately ₹60K – ₹1.1L before GST, typically adds better shutter finishes and soft-close hardware. The exact specification is listed in your quote so you can compare it with Basic line by line.
Is a tall unit worth it in a small kitchen?
Usually, yes. A tall pull-out or pantry unit stores dry goods and bottles in a narrow footprint. In a straight Kodambakkam kitchen it can replace two or three wall cabinets.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
Production typically takes 15–20 working days after design sign-off, followed by installation. Civil changes in older flats, such as breaking the old slab, need to be finished before installation starts.
Will the kitchen handle Chennai humidity?
With BWP plywood near the sink, edge-banded shutters and good ventilation, a modular kitchen handles the humid months well. Regular wiping and keeping the exhaust working also help.
