COMPLIMENTARY RENOVATION COST PLANNING
Plan the Project Before You Price It
Receive a detailed preliminary cost plan prepared around your property, proposed renovation and available drawings.
Alvora uses a structured construction estimating system to assess the individual work packages, materials, labour, specialist trades and allowances involved in substantial renovation projects.
This is not an instant online calculator or a generic price-per-square-metre estimate. Every suitable project is reviewed by our construction team.
Detailed Trade Breakdown · Professionally Reviewed · No Cost · No Obligation
Available for suitable substantial renovation and extension projects across Dublin, Meath and Louth.
A Clearer Starting Point for Your Renovation
One of the biggest risks in a major renovation is developing the design without knowing whether the proposed work and available investment are properly aligned.
Broad square-metre rates rarely account for the actual condition of the house, demolition, structural alterations, building services, extensions, glazing, insulation, kitchens, bathrooms or the intended standard of finish.
Alvora’s estimating system allows us to examine the project by construction stage and trade package.
Depending on the information available, your preliminary cost plan can identify:
-
The estimated overall construction investment
-
Where the principal costs are likely to arise
-
Allowances required for unfinished design decisions
-
Areas where additional information is needed
-
Potential cost risks within the existing property
-
Whether the proposed scope and investment appear aligned
How Alvora Prepares the Cost Plan
Our estimating process considers more than the property’s floor area.
Where relevant, we assess:
-
Project-specific quantities
-
Existing property conditions
-
Demolition and temporary works
-
Structural requirements
-
Labour allowances
-
Material requirements
-
Specialist subcontractor packages
-
Building-services scope
-
Kitchen, glazing and finish allowances
-
Access and site constraints
-
Project management and preliminaries
-
Construction risk and contingency
-
Current VAT requirements
The level of detail and accuracy will depend on the information supplied.
Developed architectural, structural and specification information allows a more detailed assessment. Earlier-stage projects may initially receive a feasibility range together with a list of information required for a complete cost plan.

Allowances and Provisional Sums
Where final products or design details have not been selected, suitable allowances can be identified rather than omitted from the project total.
Cost Risks and Unknowns
Older properties can contain defects and construction conditions that cannot be confirmed before opening-up work begins. Your cost plan will identify areas where investigation or contingency may be required.
Assumptions and Exclusions
The information used to prepare the assessment will be stated clearly, together with significant items that remain excluded or require confirmation.
Indicative Construction Programme
Where sufficient information is available, the report can include an initial indication of the construction stages and overall delivery period.
