This is an estimate based on average 2026 prices. Actual costs may vary. Always request multiple quotes for an exact price.
Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:
- Labor: 35-45% of the total
- Materials: 30-40% of the total
- Plumbing and technical work: 10-20% of the total
- Finishes and accessories: 5-10% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the situation and materials chosen.
Why do prices vary?
- Plumbing and layout: Moving pipes and drains increases the cost.
- Tiles and fixtures: Material level drives a large part of the budget.
- Finishing: Built-ins, lighting, and furniture make the difference.
- Work scope: Demolition and preparation affect labor time.
Subsidies & incentives
In Belgium, this type of work usually does not qualify for a fixed regional grant like insulation or heat pumps do. The biggest financial impact usually comes from VAT, renovation loans, and local exceptions.
What usually helps
- For homes older than 10 years, work carried out by a contractor often qualifies for 6% VAT instead of 21%.
- Mijn VerbouwLening in Flanders and ECORENO in Brussels can help spread a larger renovation budget.
- Municipalities may offer extra support for accessibility, de-paving, or neighbourhood renewal, but this is never automatic.
Always check
- Whether a notification or permit is required.
- Whether the work forms part of a broader renovation that does qualify under a regional scheme.
