What turnkey renovation includes
Turnkey apartment renovation in Kyiv from KyivReno is a full renovation cycle — from bare walls to a home where all that's left is to move the furniture in. One team runs the project from the first measurement to key handover, so you never have to coordinate several contractors or reconcile their schedules yourself.
Every package covers the same base scope: site measurements and a detailed estimate, demolition of old surfaces and partitions, layout changes per an approved plan, electrical wiring with a full outlet and lighting layout, plumbing with waterproofing of wet areas, screed and underfloor heating, plastering, tiling, final wall and ceiling finishes, flooring, doors and skirting, fixture and appliance installation, and a post-renovation clean.
We take on complete apartments and houses. We don't do stand-alone bathrooms or kitchens outside a full renovation: in that format nobody can be accountable for concealed work already buried under someone else's screed or plaster. If you only need the first structural stage, that is a separate service — turnkey rough renovation.
Full turnkey or rough-in renovation: what result do you need?
We offer two complete packages. Full turnkey renovation covers utilities, surface preparation, decorative finishes and installation of the agreed fixtures and equipment. Turnkey rough renovation combines electrical work, plumbing and wall preparation in one package; screed, waterproofing and other necessary work are included according to the estimate. The difference is the condition at handover: a finished interior or a prepared base for finishing.
If you want to move in after the renovation, compare Comfort and Premium using a complete estimate. Send the floor plan, area, photos of the current condition and examples of your preferred interior. For an apartment in a residential complex, include the complex name and building: access and work arrangements need to be checked for that specific building. In the estimate, check three things:
- Labour and materials: which items are included in the package and which depend on the selected finishes.
- Furniture, appliances and additional equipment: what needs to be made, purchased, delivered and installed, and who is responsible.
- Readiness to move in: exactly what will be installed, connected and checked before handover.
For a complete renovation example, see the 50 m² apartment in Ridny with a finished kitchen-living room, bathroom and backup power. For a different scale, see renovation in Krystalevi Dzherela and its 78 m² duplex example. Each project has an individual scope: furniture and equipment in the photos are not necessarily included in the base price per m².
Apartment renovation prices in Kyiv: Standard, Comfort and Premium packages
The base scope of work is identical across the three packages — what changes is material grade, detail complexity, and how many decisions are made specifically for your home. Most of our clients choose Comfort or Premium, because that is where the differences you notice every day appear: walls flat enough to take raking light, seamless transitions between floor finishes, layered lighting scenarios.
- Standard — from 17,900 UAH/m², typically 3–4 months. A reliable base: wallpaper, laminate, stretch ceilings, good but off-the-shelf materials. The rational choice for a rental apartment or a first renovation in a new build.
- Comfort — from 26,200 UAH/m², 4–5 months. Painted walls prepared for side lighting, engineered wood flooring, complex tile layouts with mosaic and recessed niches, wall heating in the bathroom, considered storage ergonomics. This is the most-chosen package: a clear step up in surface quality without a premium-tier budget.
- Premium — from 37,200 UAH/m², from 6 months. A bespoke design project with 3D renders and author's supervision (this package only), plasterboard ceilings with shadow-gap profiles, large-format slabs, solid parquet, flush-mounted doors, mouldings, and built-in furniture to custom drawings.
Standard, Comfort and Premium rates include labour, rough construction materials, and the installation and application of decorative finishes. The purchase cost of finish materials and furniture is excluded and paid separately. Rough materials include plaster mixes, waterproofing, screed, cables, pipes and fasteners. Paint, tiles, flooring, wallpaper, lights and plumbing fixtures are purchased separately; their application and installation are included in the agreed package scope. For a 60 m² apartment the indicative package budget runs from 1,074,000 UAH on Standard to 2,232,000 UAH on Premium.

How the work runs: stages and quality control
After a free engineer visit to your property, you receive a detailed estimate with a fixed price within 3–5 days. Work then proceeds in sequence: demolition and layout changes (1–2 weeks), engineering systems — electrical, plumbing, heating (2–3 weeks), rough works including screed, waterproofing and plaster (2–4 weeks), tiling (1–3 weeks), final finishes (2–4 weeks), doors, lighting, fixtures and appliances (1–2 weeks), then a final clean and handover.
A site supervisor coordinates every crew — electricians, plumbers, tilers, painters — on a single schedule, while a quality inspector who is not part of the crews verifies concealed work before close-up and hands you a photo report. That control helps avoid rework once services are already hidden in the walls and screed, which is the most expensive kind of mistake in any renovation.
You sign off each stage before the next begins. Payment is split into five instalments tied to the stages: an advance, payments after rough work, wet finishes and dry finishes, and a final payment at key handover. Every project is assigned a site supervisor who keeps you posted on progress, agrees any estimate change in writing, and stays in touch from first contact to key handover.
Private house and cottage renovation
We run houses with the same packages and the same team, but the scope is wider than an apartment, so the estimate always follows an on-site survey.
The interior cycle gains autonomous engineering systems: a gas or electric boiler, heating distribution across floors, underfloor heating, a borehole or well, a septic tank or a connection to mains drainage, and a whole-house consumer unit. Exterior work forms a separate block that simply doesn't exist in an apartment: facade insulation in mineral wool or expanded polystyrene, facade finishing in render, clinker brick or siding, roof repair or replacement, aprons and drainage, and window and entrance door replacement. Good insulation noticeably cuts heating costs, so on a house it pays back faster than most other items in the estimate.
Exterior work is priced separately after the survey but recorded in the same contract as the interior scope. We work across Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast: Brovary, Irpin, Bucha, Vyshneve, Boryspil, Hatne. A full house renovation covering interior and exterior work takes from 6 months.
Fixed contract price and a 1-year warranty
The contract amount (labour and rough materials) is locked before work begins and doesn't change even if market prices for rough materials rise. The only thing that adjusts the cost is additional work not in the estimate, agreed in writing as a separate addendum and only with your consent.
All completed work carries an official 1-year warranty: during that period we fix defects caused by our workmanship at no charge — from plaster cracks to electrical or plumbing issues. The warranty terms, with the covered scope spelled out, are in the contract rather than in a verbal promise.
Our turnkey projects
The KyivReno team's experience goes back to 2014. The team has around 50 specialists and in-house crews for every discipline. A few completed projects:
- designer renovation of a 78 m² duplex in Krystalevi Dzherela — premium-level finishes with a bespoke design project.
- 45 m² apartment in Ridny — the Comfort package, dark marble in the bathroom and painted walls.
- 43 m² apartment in Metropolis, Teremky — a full cycle from scratch in a new build.

From rough work to a finished home: 50 m² in Ridny
The 50 m² apartment project in Ridny shows the initial condition and the result of a full renovation. Screed, plaster, wiring and bathroom waterproofing came first, followed by tiling, flooring, plumbing fixture installation and lighting. The kitchen-living room, bathroom and entryway belong to one apartment renovation. If you need a prepared base without finishing, see our complete rough renovation package.
A real estimate example: around 40 m², labour only
In a separate anonymised new-build estimate, general construction and finishing labour comes to approximately UAH 300,000–305,000, electrical labour to UAH 54,000–55,000, and plumbing labour to UAH 46,000–47,000. Total labour is around UAH 400,000–410,000, excluding materials. Figures are rounded from the original estimate. This is a different property, not the cost of the 50 m² Ridny renovation.
This amount is not a turnkey package rate. Our renovation packages include labour, rough construction materials, and labour to install and apply decorative finishes; finish materials and furniture are purchased separately. The real-estimate breakdown explains how to compare matching scopes and separate labour from purchases. We prepare your apartment's estimate within 3–5 days of the site visit.
Frequently asked questions about turnkey renovation
Can I book only a kitchen or bathroom renovation?
No. We renovate kitchens and bathrooms as part of a complete apartment or house renovation. We do not take orders to renovate only these rooms. If you need the preparation stage for the whole property, you can book a complete rough renovation package.
How long does a turnkey apartment renovation take?
It depends on the package: Standard 3–4 months, Comfort 4–5 months, Premium from 6 months. For a typical 50–70 m² apartment that means 3–5 months. Duration is driven by floor area, the complexity of any layout changes, and how quickly you sign off finish materials. The exact schedule is fixed in the contract alongside the price.
What separates Comfort from Standard in practice?
The scope is the same; the difference is in surfaces and details. Standard means wallpaper, laminate and stretch ceilings. Comfort adds painted walls prepared for raking light (the most visible quality difference of all), engineered wood flooring, more complex tile layouts with mosaic and niches, and wall heating in the bathroom. The price gap between the packages is smaller than the gap in how the finished interior feels, which is why most clients settle on Comfort.
What does the per-square-metre price include?
Standard, Comfort and Premium rates include labour, rough construction materials, and the installation and application of decorative finishes. The purchase cost of finish materials and furniture is excluded and paid separately. Rough materials include plaster mixes, waterproofing, screed, cables, pipes and fasteners. Paint, tiles, flooring, wallpaper, lights and plumbing fixtures are purchased separately; their application and installation are included in the agreed package scope.
Can we live in the apartment during the renovation?
Technically yes, but we recommend moving out for the active stages. Demolition, plaster and screed generate heavy dust and noise, and during the engineering stage the apartment is temporarily without water and power. If moving out isn't possible we work room by room with the working area isolated, which extends the overall timeline.
Do you work outside Kyiv?
Yes, across Kyiv Oblast: Brovary, Irpin, Bucha, Vyshneve, Boryspil, Hatne and other locations. The site visit and measurement are free.
Is there a warranty on completed work?
Yes — an official 1-year warranty on all completed work. Warranty claims are resolved at no charge, on terms recorded in the contract.
