How much Does it Cost to Renovate a House?
The moment of buying a new home or renovating your current one is finally approaching, and the question you’re about to ask is: how much does home renovation cost?
If what you want to know is the REAL and FINAL renovation cost of your property, you can certainly imagine that this isn’t a question that can be answered simplistically with a calculation of “€ per square meter X square meters”.
The cost of renovating a house can be influenced by numerous factors, some strictly related to the client’s choices and others arising from unavoidable construction site expenses that can vary the total amount by several thousand euros.
To answer this question, it’s appropriate to first break down the cost categories:
