01TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION
A townhouse renovation sits between an apartment and a villa in cost, but the way the budget builds up has its own pattern: compact rooms, several levels, a staircase and a small garden.

Flooring runs across every level and up the stairs, so it is a bigger proportion of the budget than in a single-level apartment. Joinery gives particularly good value because built-in storage makes compact rooms work harder.
Shared walls mean noisy work must be planned considerately, which can extend the programme. Restricted access for deliveries and waste can add handling costs. Community approvals for any external change add time and drawing fees.
Ask contractors to price the same specification room by room, including the stairs, so the numbers are comparable. A quote that bundles everything into one figure hides where it differs.
