Hourly Rates
Project Costs
Indicative 2026 rates for Colombo and the suburbs, based on Snapwerks quotes and published Sri Lankan market data. Outstation districts usually run 10-20% lower on labour. Expect the top of each range during the Avurudu rush in March and April and at the start of the monsoon. Always get the scope and the price in writing before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a built-in wardrobe cost in Sri Lanka?
A built-in wardrobe costs roughly Rs 9,000 to Rs 22,000 per running foot depending on material, height and internal fit-out. Melamine sits at the lower end, marine plywood in the middle, and solid timber at the top.
2. How is cabinetry priced in Sri Lanka?
Almost always per running foot measured along the length of the run, not by floor area. Confirm whether the rate includes the full height, internal shelves and drawers, and the hardware, because those three items are what make two per-foot quotes incomparable.
3. Which material lasts longest in Sri Lankan humidity?
Marine plywood among the sheet materials, at Rs 16,000 to Rs 24,000 per running foot and 15 to 20 years of service. Melamine is fine in dry bedrooms at Rs 10,000 to Rs 16,000 but its edges swell near water. Solid teak and mahogany last decades but cost Rs 19,000 to Rs 35,000 and up.
4. Is branded hardware worth the extra?
For anything used daily, yes. Soft-close hinges and telescopic drawer channels add Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500 per running foot. Cheap unbranded hinges sag within a couple of years and are the most common reason a good cabinet starts to look bad.
5. How long does made-to-measure cabinetry take?
Typically two to five weeks from final measurement, depending on the size of the job and whether the workshop is busy. Demand rises sharply before Avurudu in April, so allow longer if you want it finished for the New Year.
