Home / Services / Evas Designs vs Livspace vs HomeLane
Three quotes for the same home. One of them is Rs 5 to 8 lakh lighter.
If you are doing the interiors of a luxury flat or villa in Gurgaon, you will almost certainly collect a Livspace quote and a HomeLane quote. This page puts real, published numbers side by side with ours, size by size and line by line, so you can see exactly where the money goes and why the same home costs less with a design-build studio based in DLF Phase 3.
Two national chains, one local studio.
All three will design and execute your home. The difference is the machine behind the quote, and you pay for the machine.
| What matters to you | Livspace | HomeLane | Evas Designs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | National interiors brand, franchise-led | National interiors brand, owned stores | Local design-build studio, founder-led |
| Strength | Standard flats, fast modular installs | Standard flats, 45-day modular promise | Luxury flats, villas, civil plus interiors |
| Showroom cost in your quote | Large city experience centres | Large city experience centres | One working studio in DLF Phase 3 |
| Design fee | Absorbed in package | Absorbed in package | Adjustable; waived on full execution |
| Customisation | Catalogue-led, limited sizes and finishes | Catalogue-led, limited sizes and finishes | Fully custom, any size, any material |
| Civil and structural work | Limited, priced as exceptions | Limited, priced as exceptions | Core scope, in-house teams |
| Villas and independent floors | Not the core product | Not the core product | Core product, with architecture if needed |
| Warranty | Up to 10 years on modular | Up to 10 years on modular | 10 years workmanship warranty |
| Who answers after handover | Central support desk | Central support desk | The same architect who designed your home |
Where the saving comes from
No franchise fee, no experience-centre rent, no sales commissions, and no subcontractor margin. The same material at the same trade rate simply travels a shorter road to your home.
About the numbers on this page
Competitor figures are indicative ranges published by Livspace and HomeLane on their own sites and cost guides in 2025 and 2026. Every home differs, so treat them as honest starting points, not final quotes.
Where the chains genuinely win
If you have a standard 2BHK, want catalogue finishes and need keys in 45 days flat, a national chain is a fair choice. The moment you want custom sizes, better materials or any civil change, the maths flips to us.
What a square foot costs at each company.
Full-home interiors on carpet area, Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, 2026. Scope: modular kitchen, wardrobes, storage, TV and display units, false ceiling, lighting, painting, loose furniture coordination, design and supervision.
| Finish tier | Livspace (per sq ft) | HomeLane (per sq ft) | Evas Designs (per sq ft) | Your saving with Evas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential (laminates, standard hardware) | Rs 1,500 – 1,850 | Rs 1,200 – 1,600 | Rs 1,050 – 1,400 | About 12% |
| Premium (veneer, acrylic, quartz, branded hardware) | Rs 1,900 – 2,600 | Rs 1,800 – 2,400 | Rs 1,550 – 2,050 | About 14% |
| Luxe (pu finish, stone, designer fittings, automation) | Rs 2,800 – 4,000+ | Rs 2,500 – 3,500 | Rs 2,150 – 3,000 | About 15% |
Same brands, same grades
Our estimates name the ply, laminate, hardware and stone by brand and grade, the same brands the chains use. If a line looks cheaper, you can check exactly why, item by item.
Flats vs villas
Villas cost more per sq ft everywhere, because staircases, double-height walls, outdoor areas and civil changes add work a flat never has. The gap between us and the chains widens on villas, because for them that work is an exception and for us it is routine.
What these rates exclude everywhere
GST at 18 percent, appliances, and loose furniture are extra in almost every quote in this industry, ours included. Ask for the GST line in writing before you compare any two numbers.
Luxury flat interiors: the full-home budget.
Typical Gurgaon flat sizes, premium finish tier, full-home scope. Livspace's own published figures put a Gurgaon 3BHK full-home project at Rs 20 to 35 lakh; the ranges below sit inside those published bands.
| Home | Typical carpet area | Livspace | HomeLane | Evas Designs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2BHK flat | 900 – 1,200 sq ft | Rs 17 – 25 lakh | Rs 16 – 23 lakh | Rs 14 – 19.5 lakh |
| 3BHK flat | 1,400 – 1,800 sq ft | Rs 27 – 40 lakh | Rs 25 – 36 lakh | Rs 21.5 – 30.5 lakh |
| 4BHK flat | 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft | Rs 38 – 55 lakh | Rs 36 – 50 lakh | Rs 31 – 42.5 lakh |
| Luxury flat / penthouse | 3,000 – 4,000 sq ft | Rs 75 lakh – 1.2 crore | Rs 70 lakh – 1.05 crore | Rs 60 – 90 lakh |
Real saving on a real 3BHK
On a 1,600 sq ft 3BHK in DLF or Sushant Lok at the premium tier, the middle of each range reads roughly: Livspace Rs 33.5 lakh, HomeLane Rs 30.5 lakh, Evas Rs 26 lakh. That is about Rs 4.5 to 7.5 lakh back in your pocket for the same materials.
Watch the scope, not the headline
Chain packages often exclude painting, civil repair, curtain tracks, appliances and loose furniture. Our number includes the full scope listed above. Compare only like-for-like line items.
Measure carpet, not super area
Builders sell super built-up area; interiors happen on carpet area, which is 25 to 35 percent smaller. Every range above is on carpet area. A quote priced on super area quietly charges you for walls and shafts.
Marble, walnut and brass. Not a catalogue laminate.
This is the finish level the premium column above buys with us: stone underfoot, real wood on the walls, metal where your hands land. The same tier at a chain is a thicker catalogue. With a studio, it is a drawing made for your rooms.
- Materials chosen per room, not per package
- 3D views of your actual flat before work begins
- Named carpenter and supervisor on site
Villa interiors: the chains leave their catalogue.
A villa is not a bigger flat. Staircase cladding, double-height walls, terrace and outdoor work, staff quarters and custom joinery all sit outside a modular catalogue. That is where package pricing breaks and variation bills begin.
| Villa | Typical built-up area | Livspace | HomeLane | Evas Designs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3BHK villa | 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft | Rs 50 – 75 lakh | Rs 47 – 70 lakh | Rs 40 – 60 lakh |
| 4BHK villa | 3,000 – 4,000 sq ft | Rs 80 lakh – 1.3 crore | Rs 75 lakh – 1.2 crore | Rs 65 lakh – 1 crore |
| 5BHK villa / kothi | 5,000 – 7,000 sq ft | Rs 1.4 – 2.4 crore | Rs 1.3 – 2.2 crore | Rs 1.1 – 1.85 crore |
Design-build under one roof
We hold the architecture licence, the civil team and the interior workshop together. Moving a wall, building a staircase bulkhead or redoing a bathroom is a drawing, not a renegotiation.
One accountable name
On a villa, a chain typically fields a designer, a vendor network and a support desk. We field one named architect who visits your site every week and answers the phone after handover.
Villa timelines, in writing
Villas take 90 to 150 days with us depending on civil scope, and the timeline goes into the contract with a week-by-week schedule. A chain quote for a villa rarely commits to either.
Double-height walls are not a line item problem.
A double-height living room needs scaffolding, structural thinking, custom panelling and lighting design, none of which comes out of a flat-pack box. This is the work our studio does every month across DLF, Sushant Lok, Nirvana Country and South Delhi, and it is exactly the work a modular-first chain prices highest.
- Architecture, civil work and interiors from one team
- Custom joinery made for your walls, not catalogue sizes
- Weekly site reports with photographs
Price is one table. Experience is the other.
| Stage | Livspace / HomeLane | Evas Designs |
|---|---|---|
| First meeting | Sales designer at an experience centre | Senior architect at our studio or your site |
| Quote | Package headline, scope buried in annexures | Itemised estimate, every line open to question |
| Design | Catalogue combinations, 2 to 3 revisions | Custom drawings and 3D views, revised until you sign |
| Execution | Vendor network plus a project manager | In-house carpenters and supervisors, weekly reports |
| Timeline | 45 to 90 days for standard flat scope | 45 to 75 days for flats, 90 to 150 for villas, committed in writing |
| Changes mid-project | Variation orders through a central system | A call to your architect, priced the same day |
| After handover | Support ticket | The same phone number you called on day one |
Read any quote like a pro
Ask every bidder the same five questions: which ply brand and grade, which hardware brand, what is excluded, what is the payment schedule, and who supervises daily. The answers separate a package from a plan faster than any discount.

The warranty is a document
Ten years of workmanship warranty, written into the contract with your name on it. A promise on a brochure is marketing; a clause in your agreement is protection.
One conversation, one honest number.
You share your floor plan and your budget comfort. We walk the flat or villa with you, mark what the builder gave you that is worth keeping, and hand you an itemised estimate you can hold against anyone else's. If we are not the right fit, the estimate is still yours to use as a benchmark.
- Free first consultation and site walk
- Itemised estimate in 3 to 5 working days
- Materials named by brand and grade
They collected three quotes too. Then they called us.
We had a Livspace quote of Rs 31 lakh for our 3BHK in DLF Phase 2. Evas itemised the same scope at Rs 26 lakh with better plywood and a named supervisor. The home finished in 58 days and the finish is honestly above what we saw in the experience centre.
Our villa in Nirvana Country needed a staircase rework and double-height panelling. The chains treated it as a headache and priced it like one. Evas treated it as a normal Tuesday. Final bill came 14 percent under the next best quote.
What sold us was the estimate itself: every hinge and every sheet of laminate named by brand. No other bidder would do that. When the pooja unit design changed mid-way, it was one phone call and one revised line, done the same day.
Five questions, straight answers.
For the same scope and finish level, Evas Designs quotes roughly 12 to 15 percent lower than Livspace and HomeLane in Gurgaon. On a premium 3BHK that is a saving of about Rs 5 to 8 lakh. The reason is structural: no franchise fee, no mall experience-centre rent and no layer of sales commissions, plus our own carpentry and site teams instead of subcontracted labour.
National brands carry costs a local studio does not: city experience centres, large sales teams, national advertising and investor margins. Those overheads sit inside every quote. Evas Designs runs two studios, employs its own carpenters and site supervisors, and buys material at the same trade rates, so the same plywood, laminate and hardware reaches your home for less.
Yes, and you can verify it line by line. We specify the same branded plywood, laminates, hardware and stones by make and grade in a written, itemised estimate, the same brands the national chains use. Livspace and HomeLane both offer warranties of up to ten years on their modular work; Evas Designs offers a ten-year workmanship warranty as well, backed by a studio you can walk into in DLF Phase 3.
Yes. WhatsApp us the itemised quote you have received and we will return a line-by-line comparison within two working days, matching scope, material brands and finish grades. Where their quote hides costs in packages, we split them out so you can see exactly where the difference sits.
National chains are built around factory-made modular units for standard flats. Villas need civil changes, staircases, double-height walls, outdoor areas and custom joinery, which sit outside the modular catalogue and get priced as expensive exceptions. Evas Designs is a design-build studio: architecture, civil work and interiors are our core scope, so a villa is a normal project for us, not an exception.
