Renovation prices in Riga - cost per m²
Below are Riga market ranges, not our price list. An exact amount can only be given after a site visit, since it depends on the building type, the condition of the utilities and how deep the work needs to go.
Three scopes of work
Cosmetic renovation
200-300 €/m²
Surfaces only. Walls, ceiling, flooring, doors. Walls aren't chased, utilities aren't touched.
- Timeline for 60 m²
- 3-5 weeks
Major renovation
400-700 €/m²
Demolition down to the structure, new electrics and plumbing, floor levelling, waterproofing, finishing.
- Timeline for 60 m²
- 2-3 months
Renovation with reconfiguration
from 600 €/m²
Major renovation plus reconfiguring the layout with BIS (Latvia's construction information system) approval. Design and approval time is added on top.
- Timeline for 60 m²
- from 3 months
None of these ranges include final-finish materials. Their cost is determined by what you choose in the shop, not by the building technology, so they can't be folded into a price per square metre.
Individual line items
These figures are useful when you need to understand a single job, not the whole apartment. The ranges are the Riga market, not our own offer.
| Work | Range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom, full cycle | 3 000-6 500 € | 5-7 m², including labour and materials |
| Plumbing fixture replacement in a bathroom | 400-800 € | Labour only |
| Tiling | 18-40 €/m² | Labour only; format and pattern change the price |
| Facade insulation | 40-100 €/m² | Mineral-wool systems are 20-30% more expensive than EPS |
| Facade painting | 24-40 €/m² | Without insulation |
| Construction waste removal, 60 m² | 300-600 € | The item that most often goes missing from an estimate |
What changes the amount the most
- Building type Old fund with timber floor structures and aluminium wiring costs more than the same area in a new build. Series-built housing sits in the middle.
- Number of bathrooms A bathroom or toilet costs roughly twice as much per square metre as a living room - waterproofing, tiling, plumbing.
- Whether walls are moved Reconfiguration adds a design and a BIS approval. That's time, not just money.
- What's under the surface A rotten beam end, damp under the tiles, aluminium wiring. You see this after demolition, not while preparing the estimate.
Why we don't publish a price list
A figure without a quantity isn't a price
A price list with a single figure per square metre means either labour only, with no materials, or a quantity that will be rewritten as work goes along. Either way the final amount is different, and that conversation happens once the apartment is already stripped out.
That's why we start with a site visit and an estimate where every line item has a quantity and a unit. Then the price can be checked, not just trusted.
How to read a renovation estimate →Indicative calculator
The home page has a calculator that gives a price range from the area, building type, scope of work and number of bathrooms. It's the same calculator, based on this page's own ranges.
Open the calculatorThe calculation is indicative and based on Riga market price ranges. It is not an offer and creates no obligation.
