How structured milestone planning, direct vendor accountability, and bi-weekly updates deliver premium residential interiors on a committed schedule.

The 45-Day Execution Blueprint: Eliminating Delay and Chaos in Interior Construction

For most homeowners taking possession of a new 3 or 4 BHK flat in Pune, interior work is often synonymous with anxiety: endless delays, carpenter absenteeism, unexpected cost escalations, and unfulfilled promises.

At Radhika Mahajan Architects, we believe that execution is an engineered process, not an unpredictable gamble. Our 45-Day Turnkey Blueprint was developed to provide clients with absolute timeline certainty.


Phase 1: Days 1–10 — Civil, Demolition & Electrical Routing

Before aesthetic finishes begin, the core infrastructure must be locked:

  1. Civil Modifications: Non-structural wall adjustments and niche creation.
  2. Electrical Conduit Routing: Wiring for automation, ambient 3000K LED coves, AC conduits, and two-way bedside switches.
  3. Plumbing Modifications: Sanitary line alignments and concealed diverters.
  4. Site Protection: Flooring masking with heavy-duty protective sheets.

Phase 2: Days 11–25 — False Ceiling & Carcass Carpentry

With infrastructure validated, the carpentry and ceiling teams mobilize in parallel:

  • False Ceiling Framework: Heavy-gauge GI framework with moisture-resistant gypsum boards.
  • Modular Carcass Fabrication: Calibrated BWR plywood carcasses cut with millimeter accuracy for wardrobes, kitchen base units, and TV consoles.
  • Hardware Dry-Fitting: Hettich soft-close channels and concealed hinges fitted and tested for alignment.

Phase 3: Days 26–38 — Surface Finishes, Veneers & Laminates

The character of the space emerges:

  • Laminate & Veneer Pressing: Bubble-free hydraulic pressing with zero edge peeling.
  • Countertop & Italian Marble Installation: Precision water-jet cutting and polishing.
  • First-Coat Putty & Primer: Multi-coat surface preparation on walls and ceilings.

Phase 4: Days 39–45 — Lighting, Deep Cleaning & Snagging Handover

The final reveal:

  • Architectural Lighting Fixture Fitment: Magnetic tracks, recessed downlights, and decorative pendants.
  • Final Top-Coat Asian Paints Royale: Seamless matte finish.
  • Deep Industrial Cleaning & Quality Audit: 40-point principal architect inspection before keys are handed over.

Transparent Accountability: The 3-Day Update Rule

Throughout the 45-day cycle, clients receive photographic progress logs and milestone checklists on WhatsApp every 3 days. No ambiguity. No guesswork. Just predictable, joyful handover.
