RENOVATION
How to Build a Realistic Renovation Budget in Malta
A renovation budget should separate demolition, disposal, building work, plumbing/electrical, waterproofing, finishes, fixtures, professional fees and contingency instead of relying on one price per square metre.

Price the unknowns honestly
Older properties can hide damaged services, damp, uneven substrates and previous repairs. Keep contingency rather than spending the full budget on visible finishes.
Separate supply from labour
Tiles, sanitary ware, kitchens and lighting can vary enormously in price even when labour is similar.
Phase optional upgrades
Identify must-do infrastructure first, then comfort upgrades and finally decorative items.
