How much does a complete apartment renovation cost in Chișinău?
A realistic budget separates construction, materials, furniture, design fees and contingency.
A clear renovation cost framework
What the total cost includes
A complete renovation covers more than labour: demolition, services, finishes, furniture, lighting, logistics and coordination. A reliable estimate starts with the plan, the existing condition and the desired specification.
Why the price per square metre varies
Cost per square metre changes with layout alterations, technical complexity, product choices and custom-made elements. Two apartments of equal size can therefore require very different budgets.
How to keep the budget under control
Divide the budget into categories, rank priorities and keep a 10–15% contingency. Update the estimate after technical drawings and product selections, before major orders are placed.
