How much does apartment finishing cost in Warsaw in 2026?
For several years we have been regularly publishing the actual costs of our completed projects. Instead of relying on general estimates or marketing slogans, we show figures taken directly from cost estimates prepared for our clients.
Many of you asked for an update for 2026. Although the year has only just begun, we decided to share the costs of selected projects from recent months to show how apartment and house finishing budgets in Warsaw are currently shaped.
Why don't we quote a single price per square metre?
Every project is different, because every client has different needs, expectations and scope of work. Some clients entrust us with a comprehensive delivery covering design, construction, custom joinery and furnishing. Others choose selected elements only.
For this reason we do not use ready-made finishing packages. Such solutions often cover only basic works such as painting, flooring or bathroom finishing, omitting the elements with the greatest impact on the final investment cost: functional remodelling, general construction works, joinery, air conditioning or movable furnishing.
At estimental, we prepare an individual cost estimate for every project. This way our clients know exactly what they are paying for and can make informed budget decisions.
Average apartment finishing cost in 2026
Based on projects carried out by our studio, the average cost of apartment finishing is currently around 5,200 PLN/m².
It is worth remembering, however, that the price per square metre alone says little without proper context. In our projects, costs most often fall in the range of 4,560 to 9,500 PLN/m², depending on the scope of work, standard of materials, amount of joinery and extent of apartment remodelling.
Two units of identical size can differ in budget by hundreds of thousands of zloty. That is why the only reliable way to determine costs is a detailed cost estimate prepared for a specific property and a specific scope of work.
What affects the cost of interior finishing the most?
Analysing our completed projects, we notice two patterns that recur in almost every project.
1. General construction works and custom joinery have the greatest impact on the budget
These two items account for the largest share of investment costs. The greater the functional remodelling and the more extensive the custom-made joinery, the higher the project budget.
At the same time, this is where the greatest potential for cost optimisation lies — without compromising the overall quality of the interior.
2. A larger floor area does not mean a lower price per square metre
Contrary to popular belief, the price per square metre does not automatically decrease as the floor area of an apartment grows. Costs are determined primarily by the scope of work and the standard of solutions applied.
A large apartment with extensive joinery, air conditioning, full-height doors and custom-made details can be significantly more expensive than a smaller unit finished to a simpler standard.
