Yes if you have heritage capability. Rajwada Palace, Lal Bagh Palace, Chhatris cenotaphs (Holkar princely state) need heritage Maratha millwork (jaali screens, carved sheesham brackets, lime-plaster cornices). INTACH MP and Heritage MP coordination needed in Old Indore (452002). Quote at Rs.2,800-Rs.6,500 per sqft.
Burma teak (Rs.4,500-Rs.7,500 per cft) and Indian teak / sheesham (Rs.2,800-Rs.4,500 per cft) traditional MP preference. Plantation teak (Rs.1,800-Rs.2,800 per cft) and ISI BWP-grade plywood (Century, Greenply, Kitply at Rs.450-Rs.950 per sqft) for standard.
Yes, on every Indore project. Monsoon (~950mm Jun-Sep) and termite pressure drive borate-treated framing and ISI BWP grade IS 710 plywood spec. Quote pressure-treated framing, BWP plywood and concealed anti-termite chemical treatment (Rs.155-Rs.395 per sqft) on every kitchen and wardrobe install.
Hourly rates are ₹1,500 to ₹2,700 in the US, £30-75 in the UK, A₹1,800-130 in Australia, R250-650 in South Africa, and C₹1,500-110 in Canada. Most carpenters prefer to quote fixed-price for custom work and reserve hourly for repairs and adjustments.
A general carpenter does framing, decking, and structural work. A finish carpenter does cabinets, built-ins, trim, and stair work where every joint shows. Finish carpenters typically charge 20-40% more because the detail tolerance is millimetres, not centimetres.
For custom work over ₹54,500, get 2-3 quotes. Compare materials, hardware brand, finish level, and warranty, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often skips hardware or uses budget materials that fail in 5 years.
30% on signing is standard for custom work over ₹27,500, with the balance paid on install. The deposit covers materials the carpenter has to order and cannot return.
Usually no. Carpenters buy timber and hardware at trade pricing 15-30% below retail. Bringing your own also voids most workmanship guarantees because the carpenter cannot vouch for the substrate.
