Renovation Costs in Tbilisi 2026 — Price per m² and Budgeting
Cosmetic vs capital vs designer renovation rates, where budgets leak, and how to stay on budget.
The cost of renovation in Tbilisi is a question every buyer faces — especially when buying a black-frame apartment. On the 2026 market labor has gotten more expensive while materials have held steady — here is the math.
Three segments per square meter
Cosmetic (painting, flooring, plumbing replacement) — 120 to 200 dollars per square meter. Capital (electrical, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen from scratch) — 250 to 450. Designer (a project, premium materials, a smart home) — 500 to 900 and above. A capital renovation of 70 square meters costs on average 20,000-30,000 dollars.
Where the budget leaks
The bathroom and kitchen — 40% of the budget. Electrical and plumbing in an old building — a hidden cost that surfaces during demolition. Windows and heating — the price of winter comfort. Furniture and appliances — often left "beyond the renovation" and a separate 5,000-10,000 dollars.
How to stay within budget
A fixed itemized estimate with the contractor, stage by stage (not "approximately"); buy the materials yourself from the warehouse — the contractor's markup is 15-25%; one project lead (a designer or an experienced foreman); a 15% reserve for the unforeseen. On sivrce's services marketplace, renovation companies are listed with ratings — compare estimates before signing a contract.
