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:
- Materials: 45-55% of the total
- Labor: 25-35% of the total
- Foundation and groundworks: 10-15% of the total
- Permits and engineering: 5-10% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the situation and materials chosen.
Why do prices vary?
- Foundation: The type of foundation drives build costs.
- Size: Larger extensions require more materials and labor.
- Finishing: Windows, insulation, and finishes shape the budget.
- Permits: Reviews and drawings can add extra cost.
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.
