Estimate renovation expenses by selecting only the work you need — painting, kitchen, bathroom, waterproofing and more — without forcing a full new-build cost.
Last updated: Aug 2026
renovation_total = Σ(work_rate[quality]) × location × property × age + contingency
Each selected category uses basic / standard / premium rates (per sq ft or package). Location, property type and age adjust the subtotal; contingency is added last. A likely range of ±15% is shown around the mid estimate.
This tool answers renovation-cost questions — what will a kitchen refresh, bathroom redo or full apartment renovation roughly cost — not “how much to build a new house.”
Toggle categories after you calculate to see how removing waterproofing or upgrading flooring moves the total and the top cost drivers.
Renovation cost depends on what you change — not the full price of building a new house. Use this calculator to pick work like painting, flooring, kitchen, bathroom, electrical and waterproofing, set basic / standard / premium quality, and see an indicative total with a likely range and contingency.
A 1,000 sq ft apartment in Hyderabad, ~12 years old, with painting, flooring, electrical and plumbing at standard quality plus 12% contingency typically shows a mid estimate with kitchen/bathroom packages becoming the top drivers if you enable them. Compare scenarios by toggling categories — then confirm with local quotes.
Renovation estimates only the work you select — painting, kitchen, bathroom, waterproofing and so on — instead of a full shell build. Land, structure from scratch and many new-build soft costs are excluded unless you add structural repair.
Varnarc renovation figures are indicative planning ranges. Hidden damage, plumbing behind walls, electrical upgrades and brand choices often change the final bill. Always get local contractor quotes before budgeting.
Older homes often need more prep, waterproofing, electrical rewiring and structural patching. The calculator applies a modest age adjustment so mid estimates do not assume a brand-new finish-ready shell.
Many homeowners keep 10–15% contingency for renovations because opening walls often reveals extra work. The calculator defaults to 12% and lets you change it.
Kitchens and bathrooms are usually bid as packages (cabinets, counters, fittings, labour) rather than a simple flat ₹/sq ft of the whole home. We use indicative package bands scaled lightly by renovation area.
