What the price depends on
- Apartment area in m² and number of rooms.
- Cosmetic or full renovation.
- Condition of the walls, floors and ceilings.
- Whether the wiring, pipes and risers are changed.
- The chosen finish (tiles, floor covering, doors).
Prices are “from” because two apartments of the same size can need different work. Individual jobs have their own factors: for floor levelling the layer thickness, for tiling the tile size and pattern, for stretch ceilings the number of corners. For microcement, stretch ceilings, window sills, the design project and replanning documents the price is set by estimate, and the table lists the factors that determine it.
How the estimate is built
An estimate is a list of work: each job is multiplied by its quantity (m², pieces or points), and materials are calculated separately. The price of cosmetic and full renovation is per m² of apartment area. Painting, skimming, plastering, wallpaper and plasterboard partitions are per m² of wall or ceiling surface, not floor area, so a 15 m² room can have 40 m² of wall.
An exact estimate can be made after seeing the apartment. We agree the price and the list of work before the job starts. In the request, say whether you will choose the materials yourself. What to check in an estimate: renovation estimate.
Apartment renovation cost per 1 m²
The three main prices per square metre of apartment area differ in the list of work. Cosmetic renovation (from €100/m²) changes the finish, while the wiring and pipes stay. Full renovation (from €280/m²) starts with demolition down to the structure and includes new wiring, pipes, screed and plastering. Turnkey renovation (from €600/m²) is all the work from demolition to finishing in one order.
Which to choose depends on the condition of the apartment: cosmetic or full renovation. The pages on the types have more detail: cosmetic renovation of an apartment, full renovation of an apartment and turnkey apartment renovation.
How much an apartment renovation costs: calculation examples
- 2-room apartment of 50 m², cosmetic renovation 50 × €100 = from €5,000 (labour).
- The same apartment, full renovation 50 × €280 = from €14,000 (labour).
- 1-room apartment of 33 m², full renovation 33 × €280 = from €9,240 (labour).
- Bathroom: three separate jobs Tiling 18 m² × €24 = from €432, waterproofing 5 m² × €6 = from €30 and floor drain installation from €100: total from €562. These are only these three jobs; a whole bathroom renovation is from €3,000.
- A 15 m² room with 40 m² of wall Skimming 40 × €10 = €400 and painting 40 × €4 = €160: total from €560.
- Laminate, 18 m² 18 × €6.50 = from €117.
- Plasterboard partition 3 m × 2.6 m 7.8 m² × €12 = from €93.60.
All the sums are for labour only. Materials, plumbing fixtures and doors are added at your choice.
Construction work prices by job
For individual jobs the price is per m² or per piece: interior door installation from €100 per door, a socket, switch or light point from €12 per point, radiator replacement from €115 per radiator. The doors themselves, the radiator and other fixtures are not in this price. By job: wall painting, tiling, laminate flooring, demolition work in an apartment and all renovation work in an apartment.
For rooms: bathroom renovation and kitchen renovation. For series buildings the price is set by the estimate, and the closest price line is full renovation: apartment renovation by building series.
What the price does not include
- Materials: tiles, adhesives, paints, floor covering, plasterboard and profiles.
- Fixtures and products: plumbing, doors, radiators, light fittings.
- Replanning documents and approval: by estimate.
- Construction waste removal: see buvgruzuizvesanariga.lv.
A riser and a radiator whose operation depends on the building's heating are the common property of the apartment owners, so the work needs the association's consent; in practice it is agreed with the building manager. More detail: risers as common property.
