2026-06-04 · 7 min read
There is no single answer to “how much does renovation cost?” because it depends on scope, material level and the condition of the building. But knowing the cost drivers lets you set the right budget.
The 5 factors that determine renovation cost
- •Scope: a cosmetic refresh vs a full strip-out including services
- •Material level: budget, mid-range or premium
- •Number of wet areas: kitchens and bathrooms are the cost centre
- •Age and condition of the building: hidden repairs grow the budget
- •Floor and access: upper floors without a lift increase labour time
How do you protect your budget?
Ask for an itemised quote, finalise material choices before work starts, and reserve 10–15% of the total as a contingency. Mid-project changes are the most expensive source of cost increase.
