Renovation Cost Calculator — Methodology

Calculator update
Updated 18 September 2026 (Dubai time): the additional 20% reduction has been removed from the 15 established service categories, restoring their previous estimates. Kitchen Wrapping and Rental Ready Refresh retain their current allowances. This is a model correction, not a new market-price survey.
Service coverage
17 service categories with project-specific inputs, including Kitchen Wrapping and Rental Ready Refresh. Planning allowances help compare scope; measurements, condition and a written quotation confirm the final cost.
Human verification
A site assessment and written scope from Revive Hub confirm measurements, condition, materials and exclusions before final pricing. An online estimate does not replace that review.

What is included in the estimate

IncludedTypical notesNot included (common extras)

Renovation Cost Calculator — FAQs

It gives an indicative company planning range, not a fixed quotation or a promise that the final price will fit the band. Select the closest scope, size and finish. Measurements, hidden defects, access, products, approvals and VAT must be checked in the written quotation. The 15 established service categories use their previous estimates; Kitchen Wrapping and Rental Ready Refresh keep their existing allowances. These are budgeting assumptions, not advertised discounts.
Use cabinet-front count or measured visible wrapping area, not kitchen floor area. This model uses 0.60 × 0.75 m per front, film allowance with 15% waste, labour and setup, then the current main-calculator planning adjustment. Minor preparation is separate. Swollen, loose or water-damaged boards need repair or replacement assessment before a wrapping-only price. Confirm the exact film code, measurements and written exclusions.
Yes. It covers Rental Ready Refresh, Villa Renovation, Apartment Renovation, Kitchen Renovation, Kitchen Wrapping, Bathroom Renovation, Office Fit Out, Landscaping, Swimming Pool Renovation, Painting Services, Flooring and Tiling, Demolition Services, AC Installation and Ducting, Micro Renovation, Microcement, Basement Renovation, Smart Home Renovation. Flooring and tiling share one service category. Each selection uses relevant size, finish and condition controls; some also show optional scope chips.
In this calculator, a small economy basement starts at an indicative AED 45,000–56,250 before extra scope. Damp, groundwater exposure, ventilation, drainage, access and structural work can change the cost substantially. Have the existing condition assessed before choosing waterproofing or finishes.
The calculator’s base example for a single-room economy clearance is AED 5,400–6,750 before additions. Disposal, dust containment, service isolation, access and approvals affect the scope. Structural work needs an appropriate assessment and is not authorised by an online estimate.
Microcement is a thin decorative finishing system used on suitable walls or floors. This calculator’s single-room economy example is AED 8,100–10,125 before extra scope. Substrate repairs, area, the specified system, primers and sealing change the final quote; a decorative coating is not a substitute for required waterproofing.
Micro renovation targets selected finishes, fittings or cosmetic repairs instead of automatically replacing an entire property. This calculator’s small economy example is AED 11,700–14,625 before additions. Suitability and cost depend on the actual defects and scope, not a guaranteed saving versus full renovation.
The calculator’s small entry-level package example is AED 9,000–11,250 before additions. Device quantities, wiring, compatibility, hubs, programming and ongoing support determine the scope. Confirm the exact devices and integration requirements in a written quotation.
Yes. Choose Apartment or Office Fit Out, then select size and finish. Add scope chips like joinery, electrical, glass partitions, and layout complexity to match your scope. The office calculator also includes fire safety and Civil Defense alignment chips, which are relevant for commercial fit outs in Dubai.
Select AC Installation and Ducting, then Installation Only or AC and Ducting, the unit count and tonnage. Add only relevant scope such as copper piping, drains and duct insulation. Installation-only means you supply the unit. The result is a planning allowance; equipment, cooling-load design, ceiling access and exclusions require confirmation.
Review a 3D design direction and written scope before committing to the proposed renovation. Confirm which preview, survey and execution items are included, together with payment stages, exclusions and any limitations, before work begins.
Revive Hub can coordinate the approvals relevant to the agreed renovation scope. Requirements depend on the building, community, property and work involved. Confirm documents, authority fees, deposits, coordination charges and expected review time in writing; an online calculator does not grant approval.
Send your community name, project type, a few photos of the current space, and approximate size or SQM. If you have a floor plan, share that too. We will guide you to a free 3D preview and a site-verified quotation aligned to the scope you approve. WhatsApp is the fastest route: +971 58 662 2311.
