Estimate what a renovation is likely to cost from the shape of the home. Choose the floor area, the property type and the renovation grade, and this tool returns a reference budget per square metre, a total, a split across category lines and the same home priced at every grade side by side. This is an approximate planning guide, not a quote and not financial advice: real prices depend on your region, your contractor and the actual state of the home.

How to Use the Renovation Budget Estimator
Enter the floor area in square metres, choose the property type and the renovation grade, and press Estimate budget. The tool returns a reference cost per square metre, a total budget and a category split, plus a table that prices the same home at basic, standard and premium grades.
What the grades mean
Basic is a straightforward refresh with standard materials.
Standard is a comfortable mid-range finish with branded fittings.
Premium is a high-end finish with custom joinery and premium fixtures.
The type factor nudges the per-square-metre cost up for larger homes, which usually have more bathrooms, more service runs and more built-ins.
Getting a better number
The category shares are a starting point; move money between lines to match your priorities. Always get real quotes from local contractors, and keep the contingency until the work is finished.
