Planning for your renovation is no easy walk in the park. It\u2019s not just figuring out what interior look you want, and finding the right person for the job, there\u2019s the whole other elephant in the room – \u00a0budgeting.<\/p>\n

A headless stumble in the dark, you might wonder where to even start. How much do the different types of works roughly cos – and what are they? Are the interior designer\u2019s quotes too good to be true or do they break the bank? So many questions, but thankfully, we have the answers!<\/p>\n

Introducing <\/strong>Qanvast Renovation Calculator<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 in three simple steps, and less than 5 minutes, you\u2019ll have the magic numbers for your ideal renovation budget range.<\/p>\n

Your house size, property type and the number of rooms you wish to renovate, can greatly affect the cost of your renovation. For example, the average condo renovation ($49,000) costs less than HDBs ($53,000), and resales ($74,500) can cost almost twice as much to renovate when compared to new homes ($42,000).<\/p>\n

There are many components to renovation, such as painting, plumbing, wiring, among others \u2013 but the ones that would take up most of your budget? Masonry (flooring and tiling), carpentry and hacking. Extensive carpentry works (3 or more built-in cabinets or shelves) can range from $6,600 to $22,000 for your living room, while masonry work can run up to $10,000 in the same space, according to Qanvast.<\/p>\n
