Modular kitchen cost in Selaiyur
Many Selaiyur kitchens, especially in independent houses, were built the traditional way with a granite slab resting on brick partitions. Owners now want drawers, a chimney and a tall pantry without breaking the whole platform. Whether you keep that slab or start fresh is the single biggest factor in what your kitchen will cost here.

Planning interiors in Selaiyur
A residential suburb east of Tambaram with independent homes, villa layouts and new apartments.
- In self-built Selaiyur houses the counter height often suited a previous generation; changing it means civil work, so check comfort before deciding to keep the old platform.
- Kitchens in independent houses here usually have an outside wall and a window, which makes chimney ducting simpler and cheaper than in interior apartment kitchens.
- Medium humidity in Selaiyur means the sink base should be BWP plywood with edge-banded shutters; dry wall units away from the sink can use a standard grade.
- A separate wash area at the back is common in Selaiyur homes, so the main kitchen can carry fewer sink-side cabinets and more drawers for daily cooking.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Test the old platform before reusing it
If the existing granite slab is level, sound and at the right height, carcasses can be fitted beneath it, which cuts both cost and dust.
- 02
Pick the hob and chimney first
Appliance sizes fix the cut-outs and duct position; choosing them after production leads to costly changes.
- 03
Count drawers, not shutters
Three or four deep drawers under the hob store vessels better than hinged cabinets, and Basic hardware can still be branded.
- 04
Use the back wash area
Move bulky cleaning items and large vessels to the wash area so the modular kitchen can be shorter and cost less.
- 05
Plan a socket for every appliance
Mixer, grinder, microwave, water purifier and fridge each need their own point. List them before the electrician closes the walls.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can you fit modular cabinets under my existing granite slab?
Often, yes, if the slab is level and the brick supports are in good condition. The designer measures each bay and suggests drawers or shutters that fit, which avoids breaking the platform.
What does a 3BHK kitchen cost in Selaiyur?
For a 3BHK of around 1275 sq ft, a modular kitchen is approximately ₹69K – ₹1.3L in Basic, ₹83K – ₹1.5L in Premium and ₹97K – ₹1.8L in Ultra Premium, all pre-GST.
Which shutter finish suits a busy family kitchen?
Laminate is the most forgiving and budget-friendly. Acrylic gives a glossy look but shows fingerprints, while PU offers a smooth painted finish at a higher price. Many families use laminate below and a richer finish on wall units.
How long does kitchen production take?
Once the design and countertop are finalised, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days, followed by installation at your Selaiyur home.
Is a tall pantry unit worth adding?
In a 2BHK kitchen with limited wall space, a tall pull-out unit holds groceries and dry goods efficiently. It adds cost because of the hardware, so the designer checks whether your layout really needs one.
