Renovation Cost & Scope Estimator

Order-of-magnitude only
Not a quantity takeoff
This is a ballpark tool, not a quote. It sits above detailed quantity takeoff on purpose — it gives a rough €/m² range and flags which parts of the scope likely need council sign-off, so a buyer or agent can sanity-check a project before commissioning a real survey and contractor quotes.
