Plywood Vs FineWood (new flat carpentry)

[ramkish]

Hi Friends,

I am planning to start interior work in my new flat and came across a carpenter who is quoting 825 rs /sqft (labor and material), he told that he would be using
finewood from Raj company, as i have heard only plywood I asked him why not plywood then he told me that Finewood is better than Plywood(plywood might bend it seems) also quoted that he can do the work with Plywood(Raj company) aswell for same price.

As I am very very new to this , can you guys help me in understanding below,
1.Is it better to go with finewood or Plywood?
2.Is the price quoted by carpenter is reasonable?
3.What are the parameters I should check for each material he is going to provide.

Thanks In Advance,
Kish

There is nothing called as finewood, even Raaj company is making only plywoods. Is your carpentor referring to pinewood? I dont know why pinewood plyw is considered to be better than hardwood ply. From little reading I have done on this topic, it only looks like hardwood plywood should be more stronger and resistant to termites than pinewood. Need fellow forum members input on this..

The price looks reasonable but please check on the following with before finalizing.
1. What is the finishing, should be inside laminate and outside laminate or veneer.. what is the laminate sheet cost and veneer per sqft cost. If veneer does it include polishing
2. Hinges and channels, what brand? Branded like Hettich or ebco is better
3. Handles and locks - what is the price range for handles and lock used in the ward robes?
