Many “top 10” lists are written by a firm, an academy or a marketplace, or are paid placements.
The right designer for a compact 2BHK on a fixed budget is not the right one for a large villa.
A 3D design, an itemised quotation and named materials tell you more than any badge.
Jump to a checkpoint, or read them in order. Each one has the question to ask and how ModScale answers it.
Single hero photos say little. Ask for complete homes of a similar size and budget, room by room, and whether each image is a 3D design or a photograph of a finished home.
A good designer draws your actual rooms on your floor plan and revises them with you. Production should start only after you sign off.
Each item with dimensions, board, finish and hardware listed, plus clear exclusions. A per-sq-ft figure on its own hides what is included.
Bangalore kitchens and bathrooms see water and monsoon humidity. Boiling-water-proof (BWP) board resists swelling far better than commercial or MR grades.
Hinges, channels and laminates decide how the home feels in five years. The brand and series should be in writing.
Factory-made modular, carpenter-made on site, or a mix: each is fine if you know which, and who supervises it.
Handoffs between a sales team, a designer and a contractor are where details get lost.
Payments should follow design sign-off, production and installation, not a large advance before any design is shown.
Ask for a schedule with production and installation dates, and how association rules and working hours are handled.
Get the warranty for woodwork and hardware in writing, and ask how quickly issues are attended to after handover.

Eight stages, one responsible team, and no handoff between the people who design your home and the people who build it. Read the full detail on our process page.
Full-home designs prepared for our clients, shown as 3D visualisations. Ask every designer for this level of detail.
Any top-10 list depends on who wrote it, and many lists are written or paid for by the firms in them. A fairer way is to score every designer on your shortlist against the same 10 checkpoints on this page and keep the ones that score highest for your home.
Use the same criteria for each: full projects like yours, a 3D design before production, an itemised quotation, BWP plywood in wet areas, named hardware, who builds the furniture, one point of contact, milestone payments, a written timeline and a written warranty.
Not by default. Larger brands offer standard packages; smaller studios often give more customisation and personal attention. Score both on the same checkpoints.
Three is usually enough to compare quotations and designs properly without losing weeks in meetings.
For a typical 2BHK, our cost calculator shows about ₹4.4–6 lakh for essential finishes, ₹6–8.3 lakh mid-range and ₹8.3–12.3 lakh premium for kitchen, wardrobes, units and false ceiling, before GST. Painting and electricals are extra.
Yes. Share your floor plan and we will come back with a 3D design discussion and an itemised quotation you can score against this list.
