Modular kitchen vs. carpenter-built: real numbers

Same 10-foot L-shape kitchen, same client, same finishes — one done in our modular system, one by a freelance carpenter. We tracked both for twelve months.

Modular: PKR 720k, installed in 4 days, zero callbacks in 12 months. Carpenter: PKR 540k, installed in 23 days, three callbacks for hinge alignment.

The carpenter is 25% cheaper if you only count day one. By month nine the maintenance gap closes it.
