Home Renovation Costs in Turkey 2026: Budget and Timeline Guide
Plan a full renovation by understanding demolition, services, bathrooms, kitchens, finishes, fitted furniture and the factors that affect the programme.
The cost of a full home renovation is determined by existing conditions, service upgrades, the number of wet rooms, finish quality and bespoke work—not floor area alone. Two apartments of the same size may require very different budgets when hidden plumbing or electrical systems are opened.
What does a full renovation include?
A typical scope may cover protection, demolition, waste removal, wall repairs, electrical and plumbing systems, bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, painting, doors, lighting and fitted furniture. Windows, heating, air conditioning, smart-home systems and structural work should be stated separately.
Main cost drivers in 2026
- Building age and condition of existing services
- Layout changes and wall interventions
- Number of bathrooms and kitchens
- Quality of tiles, flooring, fittings and furniture
- Bespoke joinery and lighting
- Access, working hours and waste logistics
Can a structural wall be removed?
No column, beam, shear wall or potentially structural element should be altered without assessment by an authorised engineer. A decision cannot be made from appearance alone. New service routes must also avoid damage to structural elements.
How is the programme organised?
Long-lead products are ordered after survey and design. The programme allows for defects that may be uncovered after demolition. A typical sequence is protection and strip-out, first-fix services, walls and plaster, waterproofing, finishes, painting, joinery, fittings and final testing.
Why do kitchens and bathrooms carry weight?
Wet rooms combine water, drainage, electricity, ventilation, waterproofing, tiling and equipment in a small area. Kitchens add worktops, cabinets, hardware and appliance coordination. A budget based only on visible surfaces is incomplete.
What should a renovation quotation include?
- Room-by-room quantities and work descriptions
- A schedule of products and performance levels
- Programme and payment plan
- Electrical, plumbing and waterproofing tests
- Written approval for variations
- Warranty and defect-closing process
How can waste be reduced?
Retaining verified sound infrastructure, fixing dimensions early and avoiding late design changes usually produce better savings than selecting the cheapest finish. Durability and maintenance should guide high-use areas.
The Toruklar Group approach
Toruklar Group coordinates survey, design, material approval and construction sequence in one programme. Hidden works such as waterproofing and services are checked before being covered. Request a scope-based renovation quote for projects around Kocaeli, Gebze and Çayırova.
