Iconiq Construction & Interior works as a renovation contractor in Perambur, Peravallur, Kolathur, Villivakkam and Ayanavaram. Much of north Chennai is older housing stock, and the renovation work here is rarely cosmetic - it usually involves wiring that predates modern loads, plumbing that has been patched repeatedly, and waterproofing that has failed at the terrace or the bathroom sunken slab.
We inspect before we quote. That means telling you what the house genuinely needs and, just as often, what it does not. A renovation quotation that lists everything is easy to produce and expensive for you; a quotation that reflects what the building actually requires takes longer to prepare and is the one we give.
We handle the full scope under one contract - civil work, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, tiling, waterproofing and painting - so you are not coordinating five separate contractors or arbitrating between them when something does not fit.
Complete renovation of apartments and independent houses covering civil work, wiring, plumbing, flooring, bathrooms and painting, run to a single written schedule under one contract.
Waterproofing done properly at the sunken slab before tiling, then plumbing, tiling, fittings and ventilation. Most bathroom problems in older Perambur houses start with waterproofing that was rushed.
Replacement of counters, cabinets, tiling, plumbing points and electrical points, with the layout reworked so the kitchen functions better rather than just looking newer.
Older houses were wired for a fraction of today's load. We replace wiring with correctly rated cable and proper earthing, and replace corroded pipework rather than patching it again.
Terrace waterproofing, bathroom sunken slab treatment, external wall seepage and crack repair. We find where water is actually entering before applying any coating.
Removal of old flooring and relaying with vitrified tile, granite or marble, including levelling and skirting. Done with proper dust control when you are living in the house.
Renovation goes wrong when the quotation is written before anyone has looked properly. We do it the other way round.
We inspect the structure, wiring, plumbing and waterproofing, then quote each item separately so you can see what is essential and what is optional. Structural changes are referred to a qualified engineer before anything is agreed.
Where you are staying in the house we phase the work room by room with dust sheeting in place. A supervisor is on site daily and you get weekly progress against the written schedule.
Renovation is quoted by the work involved rather than by the square foot, because two houses of the same size can need very different work. Painting and flooring alone sit at one end; a renovation involving plumbing, wiring, bathrooms and structural changes sits much higher. We inspect the house, tell you what genuinely needs doing and what does not, and give an itemised quotation you can compare line by line.
Not always. For painting, flooring, kitchen or single-bathroom work we phase it room by room so the house stays usable. For a full renovation involving wiring, plumbing and multiple bathrooms at once, moving out for three to five weeks works out faster and cheaper, because the trades can work in parallel instead of around you. We tell you honestly which situation yours is.
Yes, and a lot of our work in Perambur, Peravallur and Kolathur is exactly this. Older houses in this area commonly need rewiring, plumbing replacement, waterproofing and roof treatment. We inspect the structure first and tell you what the building actually needs before discussing finishes.
For any change affecting the structure we involve a qualified structural engineer before work begins, and we will not remove or alter a load-bearing element on a verbal assurance. Where CMDA or local body approval is required, we tell you at the quotation stage rather than halfway through.
A single bathroom takes two to three weeks. A kitchen takes three to four weeks. A full 2BHK renovation covering wiring, plumbing, flooring, bathrooms and painting usually takes six to ten weeks. We give a written schedule with the quotation and update you weekly against it.
