Renovation calculator

Five steps to your budget range.

Answer as you would describe your home to a friend. You see the range first, then decide whether to send it to us as a WhatsApp brief. Nothing is gated.

Your property

Type first, then whether it is a new BTO, a resale unit, or the home you already live in.

The scope

How much of the home are we touching?

The rooms

The specifics that move a budget most.

Bedrooms getting built-ins
2
Hacking Taking any room back to the studs
False ceiling For cove lighting or concealing trunking
Feature wall TV wall, display wall or headboard feature

Your style

Pick four to six finishes you would live with. These are real materials from our Fernvale St project.

Your budget band

So the advice fits what you planned to spend. There is no wrong answer.

Your estimated range
Provisional bands, pending the studio rate card. A conversation starter, not a quotation.

    Cost questions

    Before you ask

    How accurate is this estimate?

    It is a starting range, not a quotation. The bands on this page are provisional placeholders until the studio’s rate card is published. Your exact figure depends on materials, hacking extent and site conditions, which is why the estimate ends in a conversation on WhatsApp rather than a fixed price.

    What moves a renovation budget the most?

    Scope first: a whole home renovation costs far more than kitchen and bathrooms alone. Then hacking, because taking rooms back to the studs adds labour and haulage. Custom carpentry is the third driver, priced roughly per room of built-ins.

    Does a resale flat cost more to renovate than a BTO?

    Usually yes. A resale unit often needs existing finishes removed before new work begins, while a BTO starts empty. The calculator adjusts its range for BTO, resale and existing homes separately.

    What happens after I send my brief on WhatsApp?

    Briq receives your property type, scope, room specifics, budget band, the system estimate and a link to the mood board you built. The first conversation can then go straight into design, because the brief is already written.
