Renovation price calculator — Budapest 2026
An indicative estimate based on our 2026 Budapest rates — labour plus core building materials. The exact price is fixed in an itemised Excel quote after a free survey.
The calculator gives an indicative estimate for Budapest apartments in average condition. Prices include labour and core building materials (screed, plaster, drywall, adhesives) — tiles, sanitary ware and other visible finishes are itemised separately in the quote. The final fixed price is set after a free on-site survey — it is locked in the contract and does not change. We can only commit to a fully fixed, exact price once a detailed design project is available — technical drawings and schematics covering every construction detail. We can prepare this design project ourselves — from 16,000 Ft/m² — or the client may provide their own.

4 factors that move the total
This is why prices come as a range — and why an on-site survey is worth more than any number quoted over the phone.
The apartment's current condition
An apartment renovated 10 years ago and a 60-year-old flat in original condition can differ by up to 40% — demolition, wall and subfloor condition decide.
Mechanical systems: keep or replace?
Rewiring and replumbing are the biggest single items in a full renovation. If the networks are in good shape, the cost drops significantly — we tell you exactly at the survey.
Material choices
The same job can be done with 8,000 Ft or 25,000 Ft tiles. The quote breaks down every material line by line — so you see where it's smart to save and where it isn't.
Bathroom and kitchen ratio
Wet rooms are the most expensive per square metre: tiling, waterproofing, sanitary ware. A 50 m² flat with two bathrooms costs more than a 70 m² flat with one.

Honest answers about prices
How much does it cost to renovate a 60 m² apartment in Budapest in 2026?
A cosmetic renovation (painting, flooring, minor repairs) runs 7.2–10.8 million Ft, a full renovation (with mechanical systems and tiling) 13.2–19.2 million Ft — labour plus core building materials; tiles and sanitary ware are itemised separately. The exact price depends on the building's condition and material choices — we prepare an itemised Excel quote in 2–3 days.
What does the fixed-price contract include?
The contract price covers all labour and the agreed materials. There are no surprise extras — if we misjudged something in the survey, that risk is ours, not the client's. The deadline is also fixed in the contract, with penalties for delays.
How long does an apartment renovation take?
A cosmetic renovation takes 3–4 weeks, a full renovation 12–16 weeks, a premium-level renovation over 16 weeks. The exact schedule is fixed in the contract, and we send weekly photo reports on progress.
How do I get an exact price for my apartment?
Request a free on-site survey — we reply within 4 hours, and within 2–3 days after the survey you receive an itemised Excel quote broken down by task and material. That becomes the basis of the fixed-price contract.
