Plan your renovation with editable work items. Separate materials and labor, account for cutting waste, VAT and unexpected costs — without assuming any contractor rate.
Build an estimate ↗Starting entries are illustrative examples. Replace them with real quantities and quoted rates.
Break a renovation into measurable tasks: insulation in m², wall preparation in m², flooring in m², doors by piece and other work. For each task, enter quantity plus the material and labor price per unit. Two contractors quoting the same “price per m²” may include different preparation, waste removal, delivery or finishing work. Use the same work list to compare written offers fairly.
The material allowance applies only to the materials subtotal. A contingency percentage applies to the resulting materials-plus-labor subtotal to account for unforeseen work. VAT is then applied to the subtotal plus contingency only if you enter a nonzero percentage. This is one transparent budgeting convention, not a statement of the tax treatment on any particular invoice; ask your supplier or contractor how tax is actually charged.
The default numbers are hypothetical examples for learning how to use the tool, not checked Latvian market rates or guaranteed quotes. Add demolition, preparation, membranes, fixings, scaffolding, delivery, disposal, permits and professional inspection as separate rows if relevant. Specialist building, electrical, gas and moisture work should be planned with qualified tradespeople.
After measuring your work items, use the related CenaRadar project at https://cenaradar.online/ to look at published building-work price references for Latvia. CenaRadar and MURDILIMAX share an owner, which we disclose. A public catalog cannot replace a site visit, an itemized offer or independent verification of current prices. This calculator does not import CenaRadar figures or transfer your entered budget to that website.
