What a cosmetic renovation includes
A cosmetic refresh changes what is seen and used: filling and painting walls, the ceiling, the floor covering, doors, sockets and light fittings, fitting the plumbing fixtures. Taking down old wallpaper, doors and radiators is included.
Not included: a new screed, partitions, rewiring and replumbing, plastering walls, new bathroom tiles. A new bathroom is no longer cosmetic; if you need one, tick that line on the estimate page.

Free, no account, no phone number. Nothing reaches a contractor until you decide.
How it is calculated
- Price list: every work has a labour price and a material price per unit (m², point, piece) — Tbilisi rates. It is the same list the calculator uses.
- Quantities: derived from the area by norms — wall area, wet zones, the number of doors and electrical points.
- Set of works: by condition. In a white frame, for example, plaster, screed and rough wiring are already done and are not charged. Of interchangeable works (laminate or porcelain tile) only one is counted.
- Overheads as separate lines: contingency 4%, delivery of materials 4%, waste removal 2%.
- Accuracy ±15%. The exact price is named by the contractor after seeing the property, and it is fixed in the contract.
- The rates come from Tbilisi crews' estimates and output norms. No renovation has been completed on the platform yet, so the figures will be refined once one has.
How a renovation runs on SIVRCE
- 1
Estimate
You pick the property type, area, condition and grade — the price appears at once, broken down by work. No account, no phone number, and nothing is sent to anyone.
- 2
Request or invitation
When you decide, you send a request or invite a specific contractor from their profile. Your phone number and address are seen only by the contractor you chose or who accepted your invitation.
- 3
Site visit and measuring
The contractor proposes a time and you confirm it. On site they measure and check what a floor plan does not show: walls, floor, wiring.
- 4
Offer and contract
After the visit the contractor sends an offer: amount, lines, dates, warranty. Accepting it is the contract. There is no contract before the visit — the system does not allow it.
- 5
Stages you accept
The work is split into stages. The contractor hands each stage over with photos and you accept it — in order: a stage cannot be accepted before the one it depends on.
- 6
Price changes only with your consent
After the contract the price changes only through an estimate change: the contractor states the reason, the amount and the days, and the change takes effect only once you approve it.
- 7
Handover and warranty
At the end you sign the acceptance act and the warranty begins. You pay the contractor directly; receipts are uploaded and confirmed by the other side — SIVRCE neither holds nor moves your money.
Common questions
- How much does a cosmetic renovation cost per square metre?
- As of 16 October 2026, 397–990 ₾/m² depending on the grade; standard is 506 ₾/m².
- How long does a cosmetic renovation take?
- For a 65 m² flat — 2.5–3 months.
- Can I live in the flat during the work?
- The plan does not account for it and we cannot promise it: it depends on the flat and the order of work. Ask the contractor at the site visit — they can plan room by room.
- Is this the final price?
- No. It is a calculation from the price list, accurate to ±15%. The final price is named by the contractor after the site visit, and it is fixed in the contract.
- Can the price rise after the contract?
- Only through an estimate change that you approve: the contractor states the reason, the amount and any extra days. Without your approval the price does not change.
- What does SIVRCE cost the homeowner?
- Nothing. The estimate, the request and tracking the renovation are free for the homeowner. The platform fee is paid by the contractor, and it becomes due only after you have accepted the work.
