When we talk about renovations<\/strong>, the first thing to recognise is that providing a quote and an exact figure, without knowing exactly the type of renovation, is very complicated, because there are always factors and variables that cause the budget<\/strong> to change. However, we can give you a rough figure and tell you what kind of factors have the most impact on a renovation budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What do you want to do the renovation for and what finishes are you looking for?<\/h2>\n

Whenever we want to carry out a renovation it is essential to have well defined in our minds what this renovation<\/strong> is meant for; that is, for what purpose do<\/strong> we want to renovate our house. This will help us determine the budget or which range of values we wish to incorporate. Examples of this include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A complete renovation making use of cheaper finishes<\/strong>, which look good, but that fit a tighter, less broad budget. An example of such a renovation could be carried out on a house that is intended to be rented out, because we want it to look good for the tenants, but without spending a lot of money, since we will not live in the property.<\/li>\n
  • A renovation with mid-range finishes<\/strong>, such as the one that would be carried out in a private house in which you will live. The budget for this renovation would be a little higher than in the previous example, but without being excessively expensive.<\/li>\n
  • A complete renovation with high-end finishes<\/strong>. Obviously, since the finishes are of higher quality, the budget would rise to a greater extent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Particular circumstances of the property<\/h3>\n

    Another factor to take into account as a possible variable to the budget<\/strong> are the circumstances of each property<\/strong>; that is, access to the property is a factor that will affect the renovation\u2019s budget. The different aspects to consider are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Whether the house has an elevator<\/strong> or only has stairs as a means of access. This influences the budget, since when making the trips it is much more expensive by stairs than making use of the elevator, and if you do have an elevator you have to protect it well so that it is not damaged.<\/li>\n
    • The appearance of the house<\/strong> from the starting point. A complete renovation will not have the same price if it is more superficial than if you have to get fully involved and take down walls or partitions, reinforce them…<\/li>\n
    • The area of the city in which the house is located<\/strong> and the accessibility to it. The budget will be different for a home in the outskirts of the city to one located in the historic centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"Comprehensive \"Comprehensive<\/p>\n

      What is the budget for a complete renovation?<\/h2>\n

      The budget for a comprehensive renovation is broken down into the different items, depending on the price of each item. These items are:<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Demolitions:<\/h4>\n

      Demolish partitions, disused or very old electrical installations and plumbing, remove floors, doors, windows, furniture… For this type of task, a debris container (skip) is usually rented to throw all these objects into that need to be disposed of, as well as landfill fees.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Plumbing:<\/h4>\n

      Plumbing is part of one of the key items for excellence, since it is part of the sanitary system relating to water and drainage, as well as heating.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Carpentry:<\/h4>\n

      The carpentry service encompasses the doors, windows and fitted wardrobes. Although it may seem simple, the truth is that it hides a multitude of different possibilities and details. The final price of the carpentry aspect will vary depending on the finishes and the number of windows, doors and cabinets in the house.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Electricity and lighting:<\/h4>\n

      It is always recommended when a comprehensive renovation is carried out, to also renew the entire electrical system, even if it is not in bad condition nor is very old. Within this section you will find the telephone, TV socket, plugs, and light points.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Masonry:<\/h4>\n

      Tends to be the starting point that makes the budget rise the most because it includes the building of walls or partitions, and besides that this is already somewhat expensive in itself, it can further increase in price depending on the type of materials chosen for the finishes.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Painting:<\/h4>\n

      Apart from the workmanship and the colour of the paint, or whether you want to wallpaper the room or combine both techniques, it is also influenced by the fact of whether you want to remove any damp from the walls if they are affected by it, or if painting the new walls and more than one coat of paint is needed.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Flooring:<\/h4>\n

      The price of the budget will vary depending on which finish you want: porcelain, laminate, ceramics… and the amount of square metres to cover.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 False ceilings:<\/h4>\n

      Depends on the type of false ceiling you wish to install: with moldings, lighting from the sides…, as well as the material you wish to use for these false ceilings and the square metreage that needs to be covered.<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Bathrooms and kitchens:<\/h4>\n

      Without doubt, the rooms of the house on which most of the budget goes, because they are where you have to choose more finishes and materials of different qualities: types of countertops, bathtubs, tiles, taps… The materials, quality and size of the rooms will greatly influence the price.<\/p>\n
