Why That Simple Question Could Lead to

a Costly Mistake in Your Modular Kitchen Project

What’s Your Rate Per Sq. Ft.?” – A Common Question That Hides a Bigger Mistakes.

If you’re planning a modular kitchen, this is probably the first thing you’ve asked every vendor:

“Per square foot rate kitna hai?”

Seems logical. But over the years, we’ve seen this one question lead to the most regretful outcomes for homeowners in Guwahati, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Silchar, and beyond.

Here’s why that simple question might cost you more than you think.

The Price Trap That No One Warns You About

Let’s take you through some real cases:

A family in Guwahati got a quote for ₹1,550/sq. ft.—but the base material used was ordinary MDF, not BWP plywood. In less than a year, the cabinets were swollen and damaged due to moisture. Fixing it cost them ₹45,000 extra.
A homeowner in Jorhat was thrilled with a ₹1,600/sq. ft. deal—until they were told cutlery baskets, soft-close hinges, and lofts were “not included.” Final bill? ₹65,000 more than expected.
In Dibrugarh, someone went ahead with ₹1,500/sq. ft. thinking they got a great deal—only to end up with no corner units, basic laminate finishes, and poor-quality hardware that failed in 6 months.

💸 The result: Not just unexpected expenses, but also a kitchen that looked good for 2 months but created frustration for years.

What You Actually Need to Know Before Comparing Rates

At Dee Modular, we understand your need for clear pricing. So yes—we’ll happily share our per sq. ft. rates. But we also want you to know what’s actually included in those numbers.

Here’s a breakdown of our material-wise sq. ft. pricing:

Material	Rate per sq. ft.
BWP Plywood	₹1,900–₹2,300
Marine Plywood	₹1,700–₹2,100
MDF	₹1,400–₹1,700
Particle Board	₹1,200–₹1,500

Each quote includes:

Branded hardware (Hettich/Häfele)
Finish choices like laminate, membrane, or acrylic
Modules: Base units, wall units, lofts, baskets, corner solutions

We also offer predefined kitchen packages (like ₹3 Lakh and ₹5 Lakh layouts) if you prefer a full-package approach over square foot pricing.

What Happens When You Choose Transparency Over Temptation

Here’s what our clients experience when they don’t fall for the lowest rate:

✅ No rework

✅ No surprise bills

✅ A kitchen that lasts through Assam’s climate

✅ Peace of mind that everything was planned from Day 1

Clients save ₹25,000–₹80,000 simply because they got clarity early—not after installation.
