“How much will my renovation cost?” is the first question we hear. The honest answer is that it depends on materials, size and condition. But you can plan well if you know what drives the price.
What affects renovation cost
- Material choice: Tiles, paint and fittings can double the budget between basic and premium.
- Hidden work: Old wiring, seepage and plumbing often show up after walls open.
- Size and layout changes: Moving walls or kitchens costs far more than cosmetic updates.
- Timing: Rates change with material prices, so get fresh quotes.
Budget room by room
- Kitchen: Cabinets, counter, tiles and plumbing points. Usually the biggest cost.
- Bathroom: Tiles, fittings, waterproofing. Do not skip waterproofing.
- Bedrooms and lounge: Paint, ceilings, flooring and wardrobes.
- Exterior and roof: Weather proofing and seepage treatment.
How to avoid cost overruns
- Get a written quote with item-wise rates.
- Add 10 to 15 percent for surprises.
- Fix the design before work starts. Mid-way changes cost the most.
- Agree on a payment schedule tied to finished work, not days.
- Buy materials yourself or approve brands in writing.
Where to start
If budget is tight, start with seepage, wiring and plumbing. Paint and decor can wait. Hidden problems get worse with time.
