Government Interiors
Public-sector interior work is not private interior work with more paperwork. It runs on a different contracting mechanism entirely — item-rate schedules rather than lump-sum quotes, variation orders that need approval before execution, completion dates with contractual weight, and a measurement-and-billing trail that has to survive audit years after handover. Main contractors delivering these projects need an interiors partner who already works that way.

Introduction
Candidscape executed the interior fit-out of the Karmika Seva Kendra, appointed by SRIT India Limited under the Department of Labour project — a citizen-facing service centre covering help desks, QR-code registration walls, welfare-scheme information boards, staff workstation rows, officer cabins, a glass-walled meeting room and an accessibility ramp at the entrance. We understand the difference between a space that photographs well and a space that passes departmental inspection.

Our Design & Build Approach
Government projects don't usually fail on design. They fail on the gap between the sanctioned estimate and what the site actually needs — which becomes a variation, which needs approval, which stops work. Our process is built to minimise how often that happens.
Requirement study against the issued schedule
We read the BoQ and technical specification against the actual site before quoting, so the scope we price is the scope that exists. Discrepancies get raised with the main contractor upfront, not as variations six weeks in.
Design & AI validation
The design is digitally pressure-tested against the specification and accessibility requirements before execution. Every clash caught here is a variation order that never has to be raised.
Documentation & mobilisation
Item-rate schedules, material approvals, samples for departmental sign-off, and a programme mapped to the contractual completion date.
Phased execution
In occupied government premises, we sequence work so citizen services and staff functions continue. Departments rarely have the option to shut a public counter for six weeks.
Joint measurement & quality checks
Work is measured and recorded as it completes, so running-account billing is clean and the final bill isn't contested.
Handover with documentation
As-built drawings, warranties, material certificates and the completion documentation the department needs for its own records and audit.

Why Choose Candidscape for Government Interiors?
We've delivered institutional-scale public infrastructure. The Karmika Seva Kendra interior fit-out, executed for SRIT India Limited under the Department of Labour project, is completed and in daily public use — not a proposal or a pilot.
Documentation discipline. Measurement records, material approvals and as-built drawings are treated as deliverables, because for a government project they are — long after the space is occupied, the file is what gets examined.
Design validated before execution. Our AI validation step exists to catch specification conflicts on screen. On a public contract, that directly reduces variation orders and the sanction delays that follow them.
Accessibility designed in, not added on. Ramps, counter heights and circulation widths are part of the design brief from day one — retrofitting accessibility after an inspection flags it is expensive and visible.
One contractor across interiors and civil works. Departments dealing with a single agency avoid the coordination burden of multiple parallel contracts and the disputes between them.
GST registered and Karnataka Shops & Establishments compliant, with the registration and compliance documentation main contractors require for vendor onboarding on public-sector work.

Why Clients Trust Us
A citizen-service centre is judged by the public who use it and by the officers who have to work in it every day — and by inspection long after the contractor has left. SRIT India Limited appointed us to deliver exactly that kind of space, under the Department of Labour project.
Alongside our public-sector work, we deliver healthcare fit-outs for Apollo Clinics and Blossom Hospital, where hygiene and safety specifications are equally non-negotiable and equally documented. That's the relevant credential for any main contractor assessing us: we're used to working where the specification isn't a suggestion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have you worked on public-sector projects in Karnataka?
Yes. We executed the interior fit-out of the Karmika Seva Kendra citizen-service centre, appointed by SRIT India Limited under the Department of Labour project — including public help desks, registration counters, welfare-scheme information boards, staff workstations, officer cabins, a meeting room and an accessible entrance ramp. We worked as the specialist interior contractor on that project rather than as a direct government vendor.
Can main contractors onboard Candidscape as an interiors subcontractor?
Yes — this is how we work on public-sector projects. Candidscape is GST registered (GSTIN 29BSMPA5759B1ZN) and compliant under Karnataka Shops & Establishments (Reg. 45/18/S/0095), constituted as a proprietorship, and can provide registration, GST and compliance documentation for vendor onboarding. We are not a directly empanelled government vendor and do not bid for tenders ourselves; we deliver the interiors scope for the main contractor who holds the contract.
How do you handle variations and changes in scope on a public-sector project?
By trying to prevent them. We read the BoQ and specification against the actual site condition before quoting and raise discrepancies with the main contractor upfront, and our design validation step catches specification conflicts before execution. Where a variation is genuinely unavoidable, it's documented and put up for approval before the work is done — not executed first and billed later.
Can you work in a public office that's still serving citizens?
Yes, and it's usually the requirement rather than the exception. Work is phased and sequenced — often around service hours — so counters stay open and staff functions continue. This gets planned during the requirement study, because it materially affects the programme.
How do you handle accessibility compliance?
Accessibility is designed in at brief stage — entrance ramps, circulation widths, counter and desk heights, and clear wayfinding — in line with RPwD Act requirements and harmonised accessibility guidelines. It's then verified at quality-check stage, before handover rather than after an inspection.
What documentation do you provide at handover?
As-built drawings, joint measurement records, material test certificates and approvals, warranties, and completion documentation, handed to the main contractor for onward submission. On public projects this file matters as much as the finished space, since it's what supports audit and any future maintenance tendering.
Do you handle civil works, or only furniture and interiors?
Both. Interiors and construction sit within one team, so partitioning, flooring, electrical, plumbing and joinery are delivered under a single subcontract rather than split across parties the main contractor then has to coordinate.
