Waterproofing, tiling and plumbing changes in kitchens and bathrooms are some of the biggest cost drivers in any renovation.
Cabinetry and finishes
Custom carpentry, countertop material and fixture quality can move a project from basic to premium budget bands quickly.

Common questions about the cost calculator
How accurate is this renovation cost calculator?
This calculator gives a practical planning range based on common Malaysian renovation cost drivers such as size, property type, finish level, condition and location. It is meant to help you budget realistically before speaking with a contractor, not to replace a detailed quotation.
What is the average renovation cost in Malaysia?
Average renovation costs vary widely by project type and property. As a rough guide: bathroom renovations often range from RM6k to RM30k+, kitchens from RM12k to RM50k+, condos from RM30k to RM150k+, and full home renovations from RM80k to RM300k+.
How is renovation cost per square foot calculated?
Renovation cost per square foot in Malaysia typically falls into three bands: RM70–100 for basic finishes, RM100–150 for mid-range finishes, and RM150–200+ for premium finishes. Actual cost depends heavily on scope, materials and site conditions.
Why does the calculator show a range instead of an exact price?
Renovation costs depend on many site-specific factors that only become clear after a proper site visit and detailed scope discussion, such as hidden repairs, exact material choices and access constraints. A range gives a more honest planning estimate than a false-precision single number.
Does this estimate include labour and materials?
Yes, the estimate is intended to reflect combined labour and material costs for the selected scope. It does not include costs unrelated to renovation work itself, such as temporary accommodation or furniture purchases.
How should I use this calculator before requesting a quote?
Use the estimate to set a realistic budget range and understand which factors (like hacking, waterproofing or cabinetry) push cost higher. Then share your property details, budget range and timeline through our contact form for a clearer, more specific quote.
Does the estimate cover carpentry and finishes?
Yes. Selecting a higher finish level and adding extras like custom cabinetry adjusts the estimate to reflect the added cost of carpentry, premium materials and finish quality.
Can I get separate estimates for bathroom and kitchen renovations?
Yes. Select "Bathroom renovation" or "Kitchen renovation" as the project type to get an estimate scoped specifically to that room, using cost drivers relevant to that type of work.
