New Flat Possession in Delhi NCR: The Blinds Plan for Week One

The first fortnight after possession is the easiest blinds will ever be — every room is empty, every window is reachable, and the neighbours have not met your speaker yet. Here is the plan, in order.

Day 1–2: the empty-flat measurement pass

Thirty minutes with a tape and the guide, or the AR tool room by room, records every width × height while nothing blocks the recesses. Photograph each window with a coin for scale — future-you will not remember which bedroom was which. If any opening looks odd (builders' promises and reality differ), the free site measurement across Delhi NCR exists for exactly this week of the calendar.

Day 3: decide once, not per room

New flats reward consistency: roller across service windows, one step up in the living room, blackout in the bedrooms — the method guide walks the decisions in order. One fabric family, one look, one order run.

Day 4: order everything in one go

• Bulk beats drip: per-blind minimums average down, one fabrication run, one install visit — the cheapest and fastest configuration of the same blinds
• Quote in public: roller ₹100–₹250/sq ft (most ₹100–₹130), zebra ₹120–₹190, GST included, 10 sq ft minimum per blind; 6–8 windows typically land ₹12,000–₹20,000 in standard roller fabric — the price guide carries the tables
• Keep the list, not the receipt photo: your window sizes will be asked for again — by curtain people, carpenters and future-you

Week 2–3: installation around the move

Fabrication runs 7–21 days and then the fitting slot is yours to schedule; in a shifting house, blinds go up beautifully in the quiet hour before the movers arrive. Floors and furniture thank you for the order-of-operations too — brackets before books.

The opening-week bonus

A flat without window coverings at night is a goldfish bowl; the first evening of real privacy is the moment the new place becomes a home. Book it early — and if the move is tomorrow, ask the Block E, Mangolpuri team what the fastest fabrics are this week: some orders genuinely can sprint.
