How much money is needed to repair a one-room apartment

Repair can be of two types - major and cosmetic. If the apartment needs to change wiring, level the walls and floor, to conduct communications - this is capital. If you change the design - it's cosmetic.

First you need to draw an apartment plan, decide on the arrangement of furniture and the conclusion of communications. After that, you can visit large construction stores where consultants will help to roughly calculate the materials, do not forget about the workers if major repairs are planned.

Even the construction companies cannot predict the final repair price, since at initial calculations the average amount is 30% less than the final one. In addition, many details are overlooked: you can forget to calculate the removal of construction waste, and because on average up to five containers are accumulated for repairs, each of which costs about 4000 rubles.

Core spending

The main expenses include those for which most of the budget is spent.

The rough finish will cost a lot: alignment of walls and floor, laying flooring. If you plan to put a parquet floor in the apartment, the materials will cost about 150 thousand rubles on the conditional 40 squares plus the laying work of about 30 thousand rubles. The main expenses also include consumables and working tools, which individually cost little. But together make up large amounts.

Unexpected expenses

Competent construction companies warn the owners about the possibility of unexpected expenses. For example, when laying a tile, defective tiles may fall or builders will damage part of the material, then you have to either urgently purchase or completely update the material.

For such cases, an additional purchase is foreseen before repair. If it is required to put conditionally 100 pieces of tile in the apartment, then 130 is bought. Often, shipping costs for building materials are not taken into account. It is also very difficult to calculate consumables before removing old coatings, because the state of the walls and floor directly determines how much the mixture will be purchased.

What can not be saved

You can not save on wiring and equipment for the bathroom, as well as on floor repairs. The latter, with poorly executed work, will be very difficult to replace after finishing all the finishing work.

How to save

When repairing any premises, they save in two situations: when they buy cheap supplies, they choose an alternative to expensive and natural things and when they do part repairs. For example, only the wall covering or only the floor is changed.

In general, it is impossible to calculate the final cost of repairs, but some construction companies offer standard options. So a one-room apartment of 30 square meters in a monolithic house at an average price can be repaired for 660,000 rubles, and in a panel for 520,000 rubles. The basis of the calculations is a major overhaul.
