Gurgaon Kitchen BOQ Breakdown: Rs 2 Lakh vs Rs 4 Lakh vs Rs 7 Lakh (3 Illustrative Scenarios)
The three kitchens below are hypothetical planning scenarios, not WoodAge customer files or completed projects. They illustrate how scope can change across a straight rental kitchen, an L-shaped self-occupied kitchen and a premium U-shaped kitchen. Every quantity, brand and price must be replaced by a current vendor quote after site measurement.
WoodAge (woodage.in) is a factory-direct modular kitchen and custom furniture manufacturer in Gurugram (Gurgaon), serving Delhi NCR since 2003.
These examples do not prove that a particular budget will buy the stated scope. Use them to find missing BOQ lines and compare like-for-like quotes, not as case-study evidence or a price promise.
Estimates only. Final BOQ depends on measured dimensions, current product quotations, taxes, site condition, services, access, installation scope and written exclusions. Brand/model references below are placeholders to show the level of specification a buyer should demand, not a current WoodAge offer.
Downloadable BOQ Planning Dataset
WoodAge publishes the three scenario summaries as a versioned CSV so readers can inspect the inputs without mistaking them for customer results. Version 1.0.0 contains three hypothetical rows and records layout, cabinet lengths, tall-unit count, island inclusion and the placeholder subtotal calculated in the visible tables. It contains no customer identity, completed project, transaction price, vendor quote or market sample.

How to Read These BOQs
Every Gurgaon kitchen has roughly the same line items. Where vendors differ is in:
- What they include in the headline number (sometimes counter, appliances, electrical are extra)
- What brand they specify at each line (Hettich vs Blum hardware, Greenlam vs no-name laminate)
- What gauge or grade they use (16 mm BWR vs 18 mm BWP, 1 mm vs 0.7 mm laminate)
- What labour and installation they include (some quote material only, charge installation separately)
The three BOQs model material, hardware, finish, edge application, installation and cleanup lines. They are not complete contracts. Appliances remain outside the cabinet totals so their installation drawings and warranty responsibilities can be checked separately.
Scenario 1: Around Rs 2 Lakh, Compact Rental Kitchen
Hypothetical profile: Compact 2BHK rental, straight layout with no civil work. Dimensions and floor conditions are illustrative inputs, not a named property record.
Tier: Practical. Goal is durable, presentable, and replaceable. Not premium.
Layout
- Base cabinets: 11.5 running feet, single wall, including 2-burner hob location and sink unit
- Wall cabinets: 9 running feet (above counter, broken by chimney location)
- Tall units: None
- Loft: 11.5 running feet above wall cabinets
Detailed BOQ
| Item | Specification | Quantity | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base carcass | 18 mm BWR plywood IS 303, Action Tesa or Century Sainik | 11.5 rft | Rs 39,000 |
| Base shutters | 18 mm BWR ply with 1 mm Greenlam laminate, PVC edge banding | 11.5 rft | Rs 28,000 |
| Wall carcass | 16 mm BWR plywood | 9 rft | Rs 22,000 |
| Wall shutters | 16 mm with 1 mm Greenlam laminate, PVC edge banding | 9 rft | Rs 18,000 |
| Loft cabinets | 16 mm BWR ply, laminate finish | 11.5 rft | Rs 22,000 |
| Sink unit (carcass) | 18 mm BWP plywood IS 710 (upgrade for sink area) | 2.5 rft | Rs 6,500 |
| Drawer slides | Ebco soft-close, 35 to 40 kg capacity | 8 drawers | Rs 12,000 |
| Hinges | Ebco soft-close concealed | 22 pairs | Rs 8,000 |
| Handles | Aluminium handles, mid-range | 25 nos | Rs 5,000 |
| Countertop | 18 mm tan brown granite, polished, mitred edge | 12 rft | Rs 14,000 |
| Sink | Single bowl stainless steel, 304 grade, Nirali or Carysil entry | 1 no | Rs 6,000 |
| Tap | Hindware or Cera single-lever, kitchen sink | 1 no | Rs 3,500 |
| Backsplash tile work | Existing builder tile retained | NA | Rs 0 |
| Electrical points | 5 additional points (chimney, mixer, microwave, hob, RO) | 5 nos | Rs 8,000 |
| Installation labour | Factory-fit installation, 3 days | Lumpsum | Rs 12,000 |
| Transport and packaging | Single load from Gurugram factory | Lumpsum | Rs 4,500 |
| Subtotal | Rs 2,08,000 |
Appliance assumption: Existing chimney and hob are retained. Their actual model, duct route, cut-out, electrical or gas connection and service clearance must be measured before production.
What this kitchen gets right
- BWR plywood carcass everywhere (no particle board)
- BWP upgrade specifically for the sink unit
- Soft-close drawers and hinges, even though branded mid-tier (Ebco)
- Edge treatment is listed rather than hidden; verify every exposed-edge location and adhesive method
- Granite is modelled as a replaceable countertop category; current slab availability, thickness and support need separate confirmation
What this kitchen compromises
- 1 mm laminate is the standard, not premium 1.5 mm acrylic
- Ebco hardware is decent but not Hettich Sensys or Blum
- Single bowl sink rather than 1.5 or double bowl
- No tall pantry pullout, no internal corner solution
- No internal cabinet lighting
Why this specification may fit the use case
This hypothetical rental brief prioritises replaceable shutters, documented hardware and a moisture-aware sink unit over decorative accessories. Whether an upgrade improves rent or service life cannot be inferred from this scenario; compare the extra specification cost with the owner’s actual tenant profile, repair plan and current local rent evidence.
Scenario 2: Around Rs 4 Lakh, Self-Occupied 3BHK Kitchen
Hypothetical profile: Self-occupied 3BHK, L-shaped kitchen, no civil work. Household, size and use assumptions are included only to demonstrate how a BOQ changes.
Tier: Mid-tier. Goal is daily-use durability with good aesthetics, room for built-in appliances, and Hettich-or-better hardware throughout.
Layout
- Base cabinets: 16 running feet across two walls, including hob, sink, and one tall pantry
- Wall cabinets: 12 running feet
- Tall unit: One 24-inch wide pantry pullout, full height
- Loft: 12 running feet above wall cabinets
- Built-in appliance housings: Built-in oven and microwave stacked

| Handles | Mix of aluminium and brass handles | 35 nos | Rs 12,000 |
| Countertop | 20 mm Indian quartz (Aristone or equivalent), mitred edge | 16 rft | Rs 38,000 |
| Sink | 1.5 bowl stainless steel, 304 grade, Nirali Tara series or Carysil mid | 1 no | Rs 14,000 |
| Tap | Pull-out spray kitchen mixer, Hindware Italian collection or Grohe entry | 1 no | Rs 12,000 |
| Backsplash tile | 600x300 ceramic, plain colour | 18 sq ft | Rs 5,500 |
| Internal accessories | Spice rack, plate rack, cutlery tray (Hettich InnoTech) | Set | Rs 18,000 |
| Electrical points | 9 additional points + hob ignition + chimney + dishwasher load + microwave | 9 nos | Rs 16,000 |

| Installation labour | Factory-fit installation with adjustment, 4 days | Lumpsum | Rs 18,000 |
| Transport and packaging | Two loads | Lumpsum | Rs 6,500 |
| Society NOC and lift booking | Refundable | Lumpsum | Rs 10,000 |
| Subtotal | Rs 4,12,500 |
Appliances are excluded from this illustrative cabinet BOQ. Obtain current authorised-retailer quotations and confirm each appliance’s installation drawing, electrical load, ventilation and warranty route before freezing cabinet sizes.
What this kitchen gets right
- All base cabinets specify BWP plywood graded to IS 710; verify the supplied board’s marking and certificate
- PUR adhesive is specified for edge application; verify the actual tape, adhesive and machine settings rather than assuming it cannot fail
- Hardware is named by line and quantity; confirm the exact SKU, rated load, test reference and warranty route
- One tall pantry pullout (the single best accessory for daily organisation)
- Quartz countertop (no sealing maintenance, stain-resistant)
- Built-in microwave with proper ventilation cabinet
- Sink upgraded to 1.5 bowl with pull-out spray tap
What this kitchen compromises (intentionally)
- Laminate shutters, not acrylic or PU
- No internal cabinet lighting (can be added for Rs 18,000 to Rs 30,000 later)
- Indian quartz, not imported Caesarstone or Silestone
- No dishwasher in version 1, but plumbing roughed in for future addition
- Single tall pantry, not two
Why this specification may fit the use case
This scenario directs more of the placeholder budget to wet-zone board specification, documented hardware and service-ready appliance spaces while retaining laminate shutters. It is not a claim about what most Gurgaon households buy or how long the kitchen will last. Dishwasher readiness must be verified from the plumbing, electrical, ventilation and opening dimensions on the approved drawing.
Scenario 3: Around Rs 7 Lakh, Premium 4BHK Kitchen
Hypothetical profile: Large 4BHK with a U-shaped kitchen and utility. The household, dimensions, floor level and use pattern are planning inputs, not a customer or property record.
Tier: Premium. Goal is premium aesthetics, full built-in appliance suite, walk-in pantry feel.
Layout
- Base cabinets: 22 running feet across three walls plus 6-foot island
- Wall cabinets: 16 running feet
- Tall units: Two, one for oven-microwave stack, one for pantry pullout
- Loft: 16 running feet
- Island unit: 6 ft x 3 ft prep counter with seating overhang on one side

| Hinges | Blum Clip Top with Tip-On for select shutters | 42 pairs | Rs 48,000 |
| Lift mechanisms | Blum Aventos HK-S for 6 wall cabinets | 6 nos | Rs 36,000 |
| Profile handles | Continuous aluminium profile handles | 30 rft | Rs 22,000 |
| Countertop | 20 mm Caesarstone India (imported quartz), seamless joints | 28 rft | Rs 1,08,000 |
| Island countertop | Same Caesarstone with mitred edge | 6 ft x 3 ft | Rs 28,000 |
| Sink | 1.5 bowl undermount stainless steel 304 grade, Carysil premium or Franke | 1 no | Rs 38,000 |
| Tap | Pull-out spray kitchen mixer with hot-cold separation, Grohe Eurodisc or equivalent | 1 no | Rs 26,000 |
| Filtered water tap | Separate cold filtered water tap with under-counter unit | 1 no | Rs 18,000 |
| Backsplash tile | Imported large-format ceramic, 1200x600, full height | 32 sq ft | Rs 22,000 |
| Internal accessories | Cutlery tray inserts (Hettich OrgaTray), spice rack, plate rack, corner pullout | Set | Rs 45,000 |
| Internal LED lighting | Profile lighting in 8 cabinet sections with door sensors | Set | Rs 32,000 |
| Electrical and smart switches | 14 additional points, smart kitchen lighting control, dishwasher load | Lumpsum | Rs 38,000 |
| Plumbing | Dishwasher, water filter, ice maker provision | Lumpsum | Rs 18,000 |
| Installation labour | Factory-fit installation, 6 days, multiple technicians | Lumpsum | Rs 35,000 |
| Transport and packaging | Three loads, careful packaging for premium finishes | Lumpsum | Rs 12,000 |
| Society NOC and lift booking | Refundable plus charges | Lumpsum | Rs 25,000 |
| Subtotal | Rs 11,92,000 |
The first placeholder specification totals well above the scenario heading. That mismatch is useful: a budget label is meaningless until scope and quantities are added. The reduced configuration below demonstrates which lines would have to change; it is not a current quotation.
Reduced-Scope Planning Variant
The detailed scenario above exceeds the stated Rs 7 lakh planning point. To model a lower budget, remove or re-specify line items rather than presenting a fixed package. One possible planning configuration is:
| Adjustment | Approximate saving |
|---|---|
| BWP plywood for base only, BWR plywood for wall units | Rs 30,000 |
| Mix of acrylic and laminate (acrylic on visible base, laminate on lofts) | Rs 60,000 |
| Hettich Quadro and Sensys (not Blum throughout) | Rs 80,000 |
| Indian quartz (Aristone or Quartzforms) instead of Caesarstone India | Rs 70,000 |
| Single tall pantry, no island unit | Rs 1,20,000 |
| Backsplash standard ceramic, not imported | Rs 15,000 |
| Total saving | Rs 3.75 lakh |
The arithmetic still sits above the heading, so a buyer would need to reduce scope again or obtain different current quotations. A possible specification-review list is:
- 18 mm BWP plywood for sink unit and bottom row, BWR for rest of base, 16 mm BWR for wall units
- All shutters in 1 mm premium laminate with PUR edge banding (not acrylic)
- All-Hettich hardware (Quadro 4D drawers, Sensys hinges, AvanTech lift for loft)
- One tall pantry pullout, no island, no built-in oven housing
- Indian quartz countertop
- Branded mid-tier sink and tap
- Standard tile backsplash
This is an illustrative configuration, not a claim about what most Gurgaon kitchens cost. Obtain current material, accessory, stone, labour and tax quotations before setting a budget.
Comparing the Three Tiers Side By Side
| Item | Rs 2 lakh (Practical) | Rs 4 lakh (Mid-tier) | Rs 7 lakh (Premium) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base carcass | BWR ply | BWP ply | BWP ply |
| Wall carcass | BWR ply | BWR ply | BWP/BWR mix |
| Shutter finish | 1 mm laminate, PVC banding | 1 mm premium laminate, PUR banding | Acrylic + premium laminate, PUR banding |
| Drawer slides | Ebco soft-close 35 kg | Hettich Quadro 40 kg | Hettich Quadro + select Blum |
| Hinges | Ebco soft-close | Hettich Sensys 3D | Hettich Sensys + select Blum |
| Countertop | Granite (tan brown) | Indian quartz | Indian quartz premium or imported quartz |
| Tall pantry | None | One | One or two |
| Loft | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Built-in appliances housing | None | Oven housing | Full suite |
| Internal lighting | None | None | Yes, profile + sensors |
| Durability evidence to request | Board marks, edge method, hardware SKU | Wet-zone specification, hardware test references | Same evidence plus accessory loads and replacement route |
Which lines usually change between specifications?
| Change | Evidence to compare before approving |
|---|---|
| Board grade or thickness | Exact product, BIS marking where applicable, zone and quantity |
| Hardware line | SKU, rated load, quantity, test reference and warranty owner |
| Countertop | Brand/series, thickness, cut-outs, edge, support and installation |
| Pantry or corner accessory | Clear opening, usable storage, rated load and replacement availability |
| Edge application | Tape material/thickness, adhesive and exposed-edge schedule |
| Appliance housing | Manufacturer installation drawing, ventilation and service clearance |
| Electrical or plumbing | Point schedule, load, inlet/outlet and who owns wall correction |
Where the Money Actually Goes in Each Kitchen
A rough breakdown by category:
| Category | Rs 2 lakh kitchen | Rs 4 lakh kitchen | Rs 7 lakh kitchen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Board material (carcass + shutters) | 56 percent | 49 percent | 44 percent |
| Hardware | 12 percent | 21 percent | 24 percent |
| Countertop | 7 percent | 10 percent | 11 percent |
| Internal accessories | 0 percent | 4 percent | 7 percent |
| Installation, transport, NOC | 8 percent | 11 percent | 9 percent |
| Other (sink, tap, electrical, plumbing) | 17 percent | 5 percent | 5 percent |
These percentages are arithmetic from the hypothetical line items above. They are not WoodAge sales data or a Gurgaon market distribution. Recalculate them from the buyer’s current quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these BOQs versus what I will actually be quoted?
The line items are a completeness framework. They are not a statistical sample and do not establish a reliable market range. Specific brand prices, labour rates, taxes and site conditions change; use your own measured drawings and current written quotes.
Should I expect a 14-foot kitchen quote to come in proportionally cheaper than these?
Not automatically. Running-foot arithmetic is useful only when cabinet height, depth, shutter finish, hardware, accessories, stone, services, tax and installation scope are comparable. Build the 14-foot quote from measured modules and exclusions rather than scaling these hypothetical totals.
What if a vendor quotes me significantly below these numbers for the same spec?
A lower quote may reflect a different scope, buying rate, margin or specification. Compare board product and thickness, laminate code, hardware SKU and quantity, edge method, countertop detail, tax, installation and exclusions line by line. Price alone does not prove either a downgrade or a bargain.
Why is hardware such a significant percentage at the premium tier?
The scenario assigns more hardware units and accessories to the higher specification, so its calculated share rises. Verify the exact current SKU, quantity, rated load, tax and seller quotation; brand names alone do not establish a price or performance multiple.
Can I get the Rs 4 lakh kitchen for Rs 3 lakh by negotiating?
Only a current itemised quote can answer that. Ask the vendor to show which quantity, finish, accessory, service or margin changes at the lower total. Do not infer a universal vendor margin, and do not accept an apparently identical specification without reconciling every line.
Why does the Rs 7 lakh kitchen need so many electrical points?
The point count comes from the selected appliances, not the budget tier. List every appliance and light, then have a qualified electrician determine circuit, load, earthing, protection and outlet requirements from manufacturer instructions and the home’s electrical capacity.
Are these scenarios representative of all of Gurgaon?
No. These are generic planning scenarios, not society-level market evidence. Kitchen size, builder handover condition, civil scope, service access, material and hardware selections determine the quote. Use a measured site BOQ for any named society or tower.
Should I prioritise the kitchen budget over other rooms in my home?
Prioritise according to daily use, water and heat exposure, appliance integration and the disruption of later replacement. This page does not support a universal percentage. Compare the kitchen with essential wardrobe, electrical, plumbing and repair work before allocating decorative spend.
How to Use This Guide Before You Decide
Use these scenarios as completeness patterns, not fixed prices. Compare your own kitchen by size, layout, material grade, countertop, hardware, accessories and site constraints before deciding which BOQ structure is relevant.
