I am Mohanlal Jangir working as software developer at Samsung India Software Operations, Bangalore. Mr. Ashok Jangir is my uncle and has extened his furniture buisness in Mumbai and Bangalore. Here the term "We" refers to Mr. Ashok Jangir and his concern. Introduction Mr. Ashok Jangir is a furniture contractor, having his business in Bombay, Jalgaon and Nasik (Maharastra). He has been running this business there, from 6-7 years and has diverse and in-depth experience in furniture making. Recently he has extended this to Bangalore. Our goal is to produce a quality product at an affordable price. We do not maintain an inventory of pre-made furniture or a showroom. Each piece is designed and made for the client. Click here for some photographs taken at our recent furniture work. Estimation The amount payable towards furniture is divided in two parts; material cost and labor cost. Material cost goes towards all kinds of material need to be purchased for your furniture work. We charge labor cost as 45% of material cost (This means, nearly 70% of total furniture cost goes into material cost). However if you are going to use wood like Green Ply (which is a little costlier), we reduce labor charges to 40%. You can have full control over material selection and that's where quality is ensured. You can take our wood experts with you, and the expert will tell you merits and demerits of all kinds of woods. You can select wood depending upon your budget and requirement. Therefore total cost of furniture shall be 1.45 times of material cost (1.4 in case of Green Ply). FAQ Q. What kind of furniture you make? A. Almost all kinds of. We make household as well as office furniture. We have a huge collection of furniture designs and you can choose, the design you like. Q. Why don't you charge on contract basis? A. We believe this reduces quality, because material cost + labor cost is fixed. Therefore we don't follow this scheme. The way we work does not compromise with quality, and IN CASE it is compromised, it is at owners wish and knowledge. Q. Which is better in lamination work and varnish work? A. Varnish work is considered better in terms of finishing and durability but at an extra cost. Varnish works requires an extra wood called veneer, the varnish is made over. It does not mean that lamination work is bad. It can give you look as good as varnish work. Q. What is difference between Plywood and Blackboard? A. Plywood is a better quality timber than blackboard and therefore is costlier than blackboard. Q. What is Green Ply (or similar woods)? A. Green Ply is a pre-laminated melamine faced 3 layered particle board that is highly abrasion resistant. Its cost is almost double of blackboard wood, but the furniture life is ensured. Q. What is difference between hardwood and softwood? A. These are general terms. When you handle soft and hardwoods you will notice that there is not a great difference between them in hardness The terms refer to a sorting of timbers into two groups, which is not based on hardness, but on the type of tree a timber comes from. Q. Why don't you upload some photographs of your past furniture work? A. I have added some photographs. I will be adding more, shortly. Keep an eye on this web page.
