Home Renovation Cost Calculator — Trade by Trade, Bengaluru
Painting, flooring, bathrooms, kitchen civil, rewiring, repairs — a renovation is five trades wearing one quote. This calculator prices each trade at its own researched rate so you can see exactly which rooms and decisions carry your budget.

For a typical configuration — adjust every parameter below. Indicative, confirmed after site assessment.
- Written scope & quotation before any commitment
- One accountable coordinator, start to finish
- Screened execution professionals
- Stage-by-stage payments, reviewed before the next stage
- We never sell your requirement to contractors
Renovation quotes fail because five different trades get averaged into one number. The honest structure is trade by trade: painting (priced per paintable sqft by brand class), flooring (where tile-over-tile versus break-and-relay is a ₹40–100/sqft decision), bathrooms (the most expensive rooms per sqft in any home), kitchen civil work, electrical rewiring (non-negotiable on pre-2005 wiring), and the civil repairs that surface once work starts.
Configure what your renovation actually touches and read the estimate the way a good contractor would build it. Every rate shows its source; several are verified against real Bengaluru quotations. For cabinetry depth, the Modular Kitchen and Wardrobe calculators drill further; for a single bathroom, the Bathroom Renovation calculator prices all six stages.

Where can I save?
Tile over tile where levels allow
₹40k–1L on a 2BHKSkipping demolition saves ₹40–100/sqft plus debris charges and days of dust. Check door clearances and wet-area levels first — where it works, it is the single biggest renovation saving.
Sequence trades once, in the right order
5–10%Civil repairs → rewiring → bathrooms → flooring → painting. Every out-of-order trade returns to redo something. A written sequence in the contract is free and saves rework.
Renovate vacant if humanly possible
5–8% + weeksA vacant 2BHK renovates ~30% faster with no masking charges and better finish quality. If you can time it between tenancies or trips, the schedule pays you.

- False ceiling and lighting — priced in the Ceiling & Lighting calculator
- Structural changes: wall removal, extensions (engineer-assessed)
- Balcony grills, windows and door replacements
Hidden costs to budget for
- Society permissions, work deposits and lift-usage charges
- What demolition reveals — old seepage, dead wiring, hollow plaster
- Floor height changes from tile-over-tile (door trimming, threshold ramps)
- Living-through-it costs: masking, daily cleaning, schedule stretch
Common questions
What does it cost to renovate a 2BHK in Bengaluru in 2026?
The typical scope on this page — repaint, tile-over-tile flooring, two full bathroom redos, kitchen civil, repairs — computes ₹8.7–16 lakh at Standard tier including GST. Essential runs ₹5.4–10 lakh; Premium ₹14–26 lakh. Add cabinetry from the Modular Kitchen and Wardrobe calculators for the full interiors picture.
Should I rewire during renovation?
If the flat predates ~2005 or trips breakers today: yes, without hesitation. Rewiring while walls are open costs ₹32–75/sqft; doing it after new paint and tiles costs the same work plus everything it ruins.
Tile over existing flooring — is it a compromise?
Done on sound, level floors it is a legitimate method that saves demolition money and days of dust. The real constraints are door clearances (~1" height gain) and wet areas, where breaking out remains the right call.
Why do renovation quotes vary so wildly?
Because they average different trades at different specs into one number. Demand the trade-by-trade split this page shows — painting class, tile grade, bathroom brand class, rewiring scope — and quotes become comparable instantly.
