Questions about the cost calculator

Christian Vogt
Reviewed by Christian VogtArchitect BA ZFH · Updated October 2026
Is the cost calculator free?

Yes. You see the ballpark figure immediately and without entering contact details. If you wish, you receive a detailed estimate free and without obligation.

How accurate is the cost calculator?

The calculator gives a rough ballpark figure based on typical values. Condition, access, building regulations and your choice of materials can change the costs considerably. It becomes binding with the site visit and comparable quotes.

What is included in the ballpark figure?

All values include VAT. For houses, flats and extensions, planning and construction management or the building permit application are included; for bathrooms, the coordination; for kitchens, appliances and installation. Not included are municipal fees, any subsidies and costs for removal or loss of rent.

What does a renovation cost per m²?

As a guide: partial renovation of a house roughly CHF 1'000 to 2'000 per m², complete interior renovation including building services roughly CHF 2'800 to 4'700 per m², with building envelope roughly CHF 3'800 to 6'300 per m², each including VAT. An extension costs roughly CHF 3'500 to 5'500 per m².

What does a bathroom renovation cost?

A medium-sized bathroom of 6 to 9 m² as a complete renovation costs roughly CHF 25'000 to 40'000. A guest WC costs roughly CHF 12'000 to 20'000, a large bathroom roughly CHF 35'000 to 60'000. More under bathroom renovation.

What does a new kitchen cost?

A new kitchen in the same position costs roughly CHF 18'000 to 65'000 depending on the layout, from a single-wall kitchen to a kitchen with an island. New fronts, worktop and appliances with existing carcasses are considerably cheaper. More under kitchen renovation.

How do I get from the ballpark figure to a quote?

Request the detailed estimate. An adviser from your region will get back to you within one working day, visit your property and obtain comparable quotes from vetted tradespeople. If you already have a quote, we will get you a second quote.
