If you're an NRI building or renovating a home in India while living in the UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, or the Gulf, you've likely asked: how do you manage a kitchen project in India when you're thousands of miles away?
At Hannah Johns, we've helped over 40 NRI families navigate exactly this challenge — designing, approving, and installing complete stainless steel kitchens without the client ever needing to be physically present. This guide explains exactly how it works.
Why NRIs Choose Stainless Steel
- Zero maintenance — when you're not in India most of the year, you can't supervise annual termite treatments or warp repairs. A stainless steel kitchen requires nothing.
- Flood and climate resilient — if your home is in Kerala, you know the flood risk. A steel kitchen survives a flood. A wood kitchen doesn't.
- Long-term durability — 25 years from now, your Hannah Johns kitchen will look exactly as it did on Day 1.
- Property value — a premium stainless steel kitchen adds measurable value for rental or resale.
The Hannah Johns NRI Process: Step by Step
Step 1 — Initial Consultation (Week 1)
Everything starts with a WhatsApp message or video call. Share your kitchen space — photos, floor plan, or measurements taken by a local contact in India. We discuss design preferences, budget, and timeline. No forms, no back-and-forth emails — just a direct conversation.
Step 2 — 3D Design and Quote (Week 1–2)
Our design team creates a complete 3D render of your kitchen shared digitally via WhatsApp or email. You review, request changes, and approve — all remotely. We send a fully itemised, transparent quote. No hidden charges.
Step 3 — Site Coordination (Parallel)
We connect directly with your local architect, contractor, or trusted family member in India for measurements, plumbing, and electrical requirements. We've done this dozens of times and know exactly what is needed.
Step 4 — Manufacturing (Week 3–25)
Once design is approved, manufacturing begins at our Puthencruz, Ernakulam facility. We send you weekly WhatsApp photo updates showing your kitchen being fabricated — you can watch it being built from 5,000 miles away.
Step 5 — Delivery and Installation (Week 26–30)
Our team installs your kitchen and sends complete photo and video documentation. You see your new kitchen on video before you ever set foot in it.
Step 6 — Post-Installation Support
At 30 days, our team does a follow-up visit at no extra cost. Lifetime WhatsApp support means there will always be someone to call, no matter when you need us.
International Payments
We support wire transfer / SWIFT, UPI / NEFT / RTGS for NRE or NRO accounts, and secure online payment. We use a milestone-based structure — design deposit, manufacturing deposit on approval, and final balance on delivery. You never pay in full until the kitchen is installed and you're satisfied.
Countries We Serve
We have active NRI customers in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Our NRI coordinator is available during Gulf, UK, and US business hours.
What You Need to Get Started
- Photos of your current kitchen space (or construction photos)
- Rough dimensions (length × width, or a floor plan)
- Your general design preference (modern, traditional, minimal)
- A WhatsApp number we can reach you on
That's it. We'll take it from there.
