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.

  • salt air puts more stress on facades and metal parts
  • parking and deliveries near the coast need extra planning
  • balanced local market with broad housing mix
  • generally standard site conditions
  • good supply of regional contractors
  • plumbing and layout drive complexity
  • finishes and material choices have a big impact on cost
