Yes. Costs may change if the client modifies the scope, selects different materials or hidden defects are discovered during demolition.

Additional work and pricing should be agreed before execution.

5. How is an apartment renovation estimate prepared?

An estimate is prepared after inspecting the property, taking measurements and defining the work scope.

It lists tasks, measurement units, quantities, rates and totals. Materials may be estimated separately.

The client can review and request changes before approval.

Contracts, Warranties and Timelines

6. Do you provide a warranty on renovation work?

The covered work and warranty conditions are specified in the contract. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment may apply separately.

The estimate, work schedule and technical documentation may be attached.

This may include photographs, phone calls and video meetings. Reporting frequency, such as weekly updates, is agreed in advance.

We assess the impact on existing work and ordered materials before confirming modifications. Written approval is recommended.
