    Malar, getting good woodwork people is really tough, with the rates going high.. if your is a new construction flat, check out if the people around have done..if so you can use them.. it is difficult more so when it is part works... all the best..

    Sudha, good that you are posting it here, so others will be vary..do post pictures once the everything is done.. happy that you like the work albeit it being slow..

    even if you get it in agreement, there is nothing like binding that they finish it within the speculated time, and also many of the wood work services don't give an written agreement..

    Right now i find labour is the most costliest amenity..you don't get plumbers or electricians so easily for small jobs...they say they have a flat contract and are busy..

    keeping your known plumber and electrician in the loop is a necessary thing today..

    Hi Shanvy,

    We bought the house 2 years back... I went to US as soon as we bought it hence did not have time to do the woodwork....

    I need to do the complete woodwork for the house now..

    Thanks
    Malar

    Is the kitchen counter(the platform) is done with concrete slab with granite tile over it or by a thick granite slab without concrete slab (may be supported on the cabinets provided below the counter.
    Can we support the cabinets i meen the one we keep above the counter (and where we keep all our cooking stuffs) without concrete slab.
    Unfortunately i got into a appaswamy project where they will not provide nothing in kitchen and everything has to be done by a external fellows including kitchen counter,sink etc.
    thanks and regards
    athira

    If it is the cooking counter, i would suggest go with the concrete slab and granite on top..but you can also get granite on wooden counters.. work out with a good woodwork person and he would suggest the best solution..

    since there are no loft nor granite you have a better option of working it out..

    I have taken many ideas and photos from IL for creating the design.
    Thank you IL members for the continous ideas and suggestions.
    Thanks to carpenter who made what i have drawn.(Bcoz of space constraint something he could not interpret).
    Let me know your suggestions in arranging my flat also.:thumbsup

    Hi Shanvy,

    Currently renovation is going on in my home. We are deciding to go for modular kitchen. Few friends stated that if you go for modular kitchen it will cause problem after 2 years then every year you should do spend huge money for repair. Is in it???

    I dont know how to upload my home 3d and 2d diagram. I could not find the upload image. i can see the option but it is asking the URL no option to upload from desktop.

    Please give your suggestion
