Porur · Modular kitchen
Modular kitchen cost in Porur
Kitchens in Porur's newer apartments are usually compact, L-shaped spaces with a utility balcony beside them. Getting the cost right means planning around the appliances a working household actually uses, from chimneys and microwaves to dishwashers, rather than simply filling the walls with cabinets.

Planning interiors in Porur
A western residential and IT hub around the Porur junction and DLF IT park, with many new apartments and gated communities.
- Homes near Porur lake can stay humid through the monsoon, so BWP plywood for the sink base and sealed edges on shutters are worth the extra over standard boards.
- Most new kitchens in gated projects here come with a granite platform already installed, which affects whether the countertop is reused or replaced and changes the estimate accordingly.
- Working couples in the area increasingly ask for a dishwasher slot and a tall unit with a built-in oven or microwave, which need electrical points planned before carpentry.
- Utility balconies attached to Porur kitchens are often narrow, so a slim tall unit for brooms and cleaning supplies is a common, low-cost addition.
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
Pick appliances before the design
Chimney width, hob size and the fridge model determine cabinet sizes. Choosing them after production leads to gaps or rework.
- 02
Prefer drawers for the base units
Tandem drawers hold vessels better than shelves behind hinged shutters, and they are easier to reach. They cost more but are used many times a day.
- 03
Check the chimney ducting route
In apartments, the duct may need to pass through a window or a pre-made opening. Confirming this early avoids an awkward pipe across the kitchen.
- 04
Use a lighter shutter colour on wall units
Compact kitchens feel less closed in when the upper cabinets are pale, even if the base units are darker.
- 05
Plan the corner properly
An L-shaped kitchen has at least one blind corner. A carousel or magic corner unit uses that space instead of letting it become a dead zone.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I keep the builder's granite platform?
Often yes, if it is level and the sink position suits the new layout. The designer checks this on site, and keeping it can lower the overall cost.
What shutter finish works best in a humid Porur kitchen?
Laminate is durable and easy to clean, while acrylic gives a glossy look at a higher cost. Whichever finish you choose, sealed edges matter more for moisture than the surface itself.
Is a tall unit necessary in a small kitchen?
It is not essential, but a single tall pull-out pantry often holds more than several wall cabinets. It is worth discussing if your kitchen has a free stretch of wall.
Which hardware brands do you use?
Elixir works with partner brands such as Hettich for hinges and channels. Hardware grade varies by package, and the designer will list exactly what is included.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
After the design is approved, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days. Installation then follows, depending on whether any civil work is needed first.
