Investing in your home interior is a major financial decision. In Dhaka’s competitive market, service quality varies dramatically between design studios and turnkey contractors. Choosing the wrong contractor often leads to inflated budgets, compromised materials, and months of handover delays.

1. Demand a Detailed & Itemized BOQ Never accept a lump-sum estimate without itemized rates. A professional Bill of Quantities (BOQ) must specify exact brands, board grades (HDF/MDF), hardware brands, glass thicknesses, and surface finishes before work starts.

2. Insist on 3D Photorealistic Visuals Hand-drawn sketches or generic internet references leave too much room for misunderstanding. A reliable firm provides accurate 3D renders showcasing lighting simulations, real dimensions, and exact material textures before physical procurement.

3. Verify Material Transparency & Factory Sourcing Ask where the cabinetry and millwork are fabricated. Precision machine-pressed edge banding and factory-cut panels last significantly longer and resist Dhaka's humid monsoon cycles compared to manual hand-cutting on site.

4. Check On-Site Execution History Review past completed projects, not just 3D renders. Look for fine finishing details, alignment of hydraulic soft-close hinges, electrical neatness inside false ceilings, and clean silicone sealing along worktops.

5. Clarify Handover Milestones & Penalty Clauses Ensure the contract specifies clear project phases (design approval, woodworks, electrical/false ceiling, painting, final fixing) with binding handover dates and clear payment terms tied to verified milestones.

6. Look for After-Sales Support & Warranty A reputable interior partner stands by their craftsmanship. Always confirm post-handover warranty coverage for cabinetry alignment, paint touch-ups, and hardware durability.
