If you are thinking about renovating your apartment, the first question is always the same: how much is this going to cost me? In this guide we give you real numbers — the same prices per square metre we work with at KOBOR — so you can form an honest idea before asking anyone for a quote.

Price per square metre: the three finish levels

In a full renovation the price is calculated per m² and depends above all on the level of finishes. These are our indicative “from” prices:

Finish level Price What it includes
Basic from €590/m² Functional materials and standard brands. A solid renovation, without frills.
Standard from €720/m² The value-for-money balance: recognised brands and better finishes. The most chosen option.
Premium from €890/m² High-end materials, made-to-measure joinery and design details.

Important: these are indicative “from” prices, VAT not included. The final amount depends on the floor area, the condition of the property, access and the materials chosen. That is why a serious price can only be given after a visit — which in our case is free.

Examples by apartment size

Applying the standard finish level (€720/m²) to the most common sizes in Barcelona:

  • 60 m² apartment → from around €43,000
  • 75 m² apartment → from around €54,000
  • 90 m² apartment → from around €65,000

With the basic level, a 75 m² apartment would start at around €44,000; with premium, at around €67,000. You will find the complete rate list, line item by line item, on our prices.

What does a full renovation include?

When we at KOBOR talk about a full home renovation, we mean one single team for the entire project, from start to finish:

  • Kitchens: units, worktop, appliances and installation
  • Bathrooms: plumbing, tiling, sanitaryware and shower screens
  • Layout: partition walls, demolition and new rooms
  • Renewed electrical and plumbing installations
  • Flooring, painting and interior joinery
  • Heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation

A single person responsible from start to finish means: no miscoordination between trades, no “that is not my job”, and a quote closed before work begins — no surprises halfway through. If you want to see the results, our projects shows completed work with before and after photos.

Individual jobs: painting and flooring

If you do not need a full renovation, these are our most requested individual jobs:
