House Renovation Costs

Let's start from the beginning.

Why Renovate a property: because it allows us to buy less expensive! The well will cost 30 per cent less expensive can be, we have had the house at 188,000 euros , a home without work of the same template cost approximately (in the same city well on) 230 000 Euros minimum! But caution the House is less expensive, but it will add the cost of the work.

Found on the forums of the estimates of the order of 100 euros a square meter for sure, 500 euros per square meter for other..!  The renovation of a house costs between 5000 and 170,000 euros depending on what there is to do, the surface and what you want and can do (therefore with or without labor).

I have a friend who in 2013 bought a house of 70 square meters, it has just renovated and it has cost him 25,000 euros (walls and false ceilings, windows and entry door, heating, electricity, kitchen, WC, tiled floors).  According to several sources on forums the complete renovation of a barn where everything is to be done is around 170 000 Euros (exterior walls , tile floors, complete roof ... ).

The renovation only inside of a house will rather avoisinee the 30,000 euros without masonry, without without renewable energy system, with conventional materials (type home Phoenix lol!) .

To estimate the cost of the renovation of a house it must be rather the set from each domain. When you visit the home it must assess its potential, that is to say after work is that it can be functional, practical, have a good distribution of parts, a accessibility to parts practice, spaces of sufficient parts ... all this according to your criteria well on. Then if yes you need to know what are the types of jobs to undertake, evaluate the meters, and then assess the cost of the work. The reality will never be the same as the achievement because there are always surprises, there is a change of view, are added ... therefore provide at least 25 per cent more. The different areas of renovations are:

• The roof
• The plumbing fixtures (sinks, toilets ..)
• The heating
• Electricity
• The masonry (slabs, floor, exterior walls, closed ... )
• Walls and false ceilings
• Doors (windows and doors)
• Decoration (not always neglect, for example repeat the sitting room floor of 25 square meters with tiled floors cost approximately 15 Euros a square meter 375 Euros of tile but we also need the glue or the slab of PAFS ... we can easily arrive at 1000 euros if the fact am even, and then it takes time, knowledge ... it is not a question of changing the wallpaper)
•  Modification of carpentry
• Kitchen and bathroom. It is found not too expensive in the DIY stores, 2000 Euros the fitted kitchen that is feasible (i don't speak, well on, kitchens kind student with 2 furniture of recover, a sink, 1 micro-wave and 2 electric plates, if if I have known! ).
• Treatment of wastewater (septic tanks or fitting at all to the sewer).
• Thermal and phonic insulation

 We are going to give averages of prices of renovation according to the domain for a house from 70 to 150 square meters approximately, to be able to make an estimate of the cost of renovating the house that you just see (because well on it never has the time nor the courage to fully encrypt the yard, it is of the almost).

•   The roof : Renovate the structure may vary from 5000 to 30,000 euros depending on if it must go back or not ... I have been able to do a quote via a carpenter (because the roof is to little ready the only area that I do not control correctly).  To change the tiles, change the battens (wood on which the tiles are posed), put a tarp of tar under the tiles for sealing, reseal the chimney, change all the gutters he offered to me 17,000 euros . It is a roof 4 hexagon (composed of 2 triangles surfaces and 2 surfaces trapeziums, of 9 meters long and 9 meters wide, for 2.8 meters of maximum height. The roof is about 80 square meters. In a broadcast on France 5 to redo the roof of a house (tiles, battens ... ) the artisan had proposed a quote of 30,000 Euros

• The plumbing fixtures (sinks, toilets, pipes of arrival of water and wastewater discharge):It takes approximately about 3000 euros for the pipes or copper PER with the fittings and or welds, the disposal of sewage, taps, sinks, toilet.

• The heater : If it is a gas heater of town approximately 8000 Euros (boiler, radiators, pipes, fittings, welds, but without the annual discussions and the faults), if electricity 8000 Euros (radiators to inertia, electrical cables, control thermostat for all the radiators).  If heating by heat pump approximately 13000 euros , if heating by solar thermal panels approximately 14,000 euros the solar system coupled to a network of conventional heating for bearing to the lack of sunlight. If you install a heated floor that does not cost more than the water radiators. On the other hand is not to forget is the slab to sink above as well as the coating for decoration ...

• Electricity : There is the power sockets, switches, cables, electrical panel with circuit breakers and differentials, simple light fixtures, wiring for the oven, washing machine ... It takes approximately 3000 euros without home automation, and the price can vary greatly if you install electrical appliances type "Legrand" color whatsit and modern luminaires widgets tricks ... (And without moving or installing to nine of the arrival ERDF)

• The masonry (slabs, floor, exterior walls, window openings ... ) : It is difficult to say, it all depends on what there is to do. A ceiling tile (the ground of the floor) about100 euros a square meter, concrete, flat girder, you (cinder blocks of slabs that have just been put on concrete beams).  Redo the ground floor slab for example approximately 60 Euros per square meter for the cement, sand, scrap metal .... To renovate an exterior wall if it is a stone wall it must be repeated with lime to around 10 euros per square meter. If it is a facelift 30 Euros a square meter. Whether to build a wall in cinder block (front, closed ... ) about 25euros per linear meter for the foundations (rebar, cement, sand, pebbles) and 20 euros per square meter for the wall(cinder blocks, cement, sand).  A portal costs approximately 800 Euros.

•  Walls and false ceilings : For the ceilings approximately 15 Euros a square meter in BA13 with the frames and a little bit of insulation; 25euros if it is BA13 water repellent (bathroom for example).  For the partitions in BA13 cell 9 e the square meter and 18 euros for the repellent. It turned rather to the vicinity of 20 euros for the aerated concrete 10 cm thick, approximately 12 Euros in tile of plaster and 15 in water repellent. If the bulkhead is a wall porteurc'is to say supports the ceiling the wall may be in cinder block as seen just before 20 euros per square meter (no foundation to make).

• Doors (windows and doors) : If the windows have conventional dimensions, a simple window cost approximately 100-200 Euros for a 75 * 75 cm standard depending on if it they are wood, PVC, size, to classic opening or with option double opening (large and small opening).  A window on measure 175 * 175 cm approximately 1100 euros. PVC Unefenêtre pane with integrated rolling stock costs approximately 300 euros. A roof window (commonly called Velux but it is in fact a trademark) 150 euros depending on the brand, the options cut sun ... Unvolet motorized rolling stock cost 200 euros, a pane PVC rolling stock manual 70 euros , a pane double flying wood 60 euros and in PVC 100 euros . A door window cost approximately $300.

•  Decoration : Has not always neglect, for example repeat the sitting room floor of 25 square meters with tiled floors cost approximately 25 Euros a square meter 625 Euros of tile but we also need the glue or the slab sealing ... we can easily arrive at 1000 euros if the fact am even, and then it takes time, knowledge ... it is not a question of changing the wallpaper . Here it is rather complicated to do a costing approximate because the price difference between a simple paint more lino and tiles a hyper modern with paint deco more false stones to paste can be huge. Good say that the soils are well done, the walls also. There only remains to make the pure decoration. A lino costs about 10 euros a square meter.A very nice tile (say a very very nice ) can cost 50 euros a square meter. For the paint there are a multitude of choices. Take a low average, 12 euros per liter for approximately 10 square meters. A nice painting will cost 4 times more expensive, therefore 50 Euros per liter for 10 square meters. Expect 45 euros per square meter for stones of indoor, 15 euros for the wall tile bathroom.

• Modification of carpentry : This point is to take into account if you have of the attic (that is to say height sufficient to make rooms, an office, a bathroom ... ) but that the structure of the framing done that there are beams, which prevents the passage to height of man therefore is either one cannot do door either it can not have the bulkheads as one would wish. I have this case my home, 4 beams to cut with reinforcement to be put in place. I am come a craftsman, 3700 euros without remove the tiles in the home. I will speak to you of this quote in the heading modification of the structure. We can say approximately 3000 to 5000 euros depending on if you need to remove a few tiles, ease of the yard ... But attention this is not always feasible! All depends on the type of structural framing, the overcommitment (Ca degrades from 80).

• Kitchen and bathroom : It is found not too expensive in the DIY stores, 2000 Euros the fitted kitchen that is feasible (i don't speak, well on, kitchens kind student with 2 furniture of recover, a sink, 1 micro-wave and 2 electric plates, if if I have known! ).  But a nice kitchen is around the8000 - 9000 euros.

• Treatment of wastewater (septic tanks or fitting at all to the sewer) : A septic tank costs around 6000 euros , a fitting at the everything to the sewer depends on the distance between the home and the ducts of the sewage, if less than 10 meters 500 euros, if 80 meters approximately 2000 euro . And it also depends on the subsidies that can allocate you your common.

•  Isolation : The insulation is important to decrease the heating bills. It takes approximately 5 to 40 euros per square meter depending on the thickness and type of insulation. For glass wool in 10 centimeters of thickness approximately 8 euros.

 Now that we have defined the price "types" that remains is to apply it to the well that you visit (or had).  Then we are going to define the exact quantification in function of the equipment that you put, of quantities.. but before that it must be well define its project.
