How to use Tashteeby

From a photo of your plan to the final number — and the final picture

Two ways in: the free quick calculator when you have the numbers, or Plan Studio for Premium members — it reads your floor plan with AI, calculates the cost and timeline, and renders your rooms finished. One account on the website, iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.

  1. 1

    Subscribe and upload the plan

    Create your account with email, Apple or Google and subscribe to Premium on the website or in the app, then upload a photo of the plan or a PDF — or enter the areas by hand if you have no drawing.

  2. 2

    AI reads the rooms

    It recognises the reception, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms and measures each room. Review the list and fix any number with a tap.

  3. 3

    Cost and timeline, instantly, per finish level

    Pick Economy, Standard, Luxury or Ultra and the total appears instantly from the same engine as the app — and with Premium: the cost per m², the split by trade, the line-by-line BOQ and the expected finishing duration in weeks for every trade.

    Render every room

    Choose a style — modern, neoclassic, minimal, luxury or contemporary Arabic — and the rooms you want; within a minute you see your home finished. One image, three, or the full plan.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

How accurate are the numbers?

They are estimated Cairo or Riyadh market averages, calculated from your unit's actual quantities and up-to-date material prices. They're a solid basis for budgeting and negotiation, but not a contractor's quote — confirm with local suppliers before you commit.

What is free and what needs a subscription?

The calculator is free with no sign-up and gives you the estimated total, on the website and in the app. The cost per m² and the split across trades, Plan Studio (plan reading, costing and renders), the expected finishing timeline, the full line-by-line BOQ, editable prices and PDF export are for Premium members, with one account (e-mail, Apple or Google) that works on the website, iPhone and Android. Internet is used to refresh prices; the last prices are stored on your device so the calculator works offline.

What's the difference between the four levels?

Each level changes the materials and finish grade: Economy uses ceramic, Moski wood and a Chinese door; Standard uses porcelain, Azizi wood and a Turkish door; Luxury moves to larger formats and Aro wood; Ultra adds marble and top specifications.

Where do the prices come from?

Cairo (EGP) and Riyadh (SAR) market averages collected and refreshed regularly by the Tashteeby team from suppliers, showrooms and contractors, syncing to the app automatically. You can browse all of them on the prices page.

What does Premium unlock?

The full line-by-line BOQ, editable quantities and unit prices, custom material prices, PDF export, level comparison and the trade-by-trade finishing timeline — plus the AI Plan Studio with 3 free images every month. Subscribe in the iPhone or Mac app (App Store), the Android app (Google Play), or on the website and in the Windows app in US dollars or Egyptian pounds, and it works on all your devices with one account. Whether it renews depends on how you pay — see the next question.

Does Premium renew automatically?

It depends on how you pay. App Store (iPhone and Mac) or Google Play: a monthly subscription that renews automatically; cancel it in the store settings. On the website or in the Windows app in US dollars (international card): a monthly subscription that renews automatically; stop renewal at any time with the “Stop renewal” button on your account page. On the website or in the Windows app in Egyptian pounds (Paymob — Vodafone Cash, other mobile wallets and the other methods on Paymob's page): prepaid time for 1 month, 3 months or a year that does not renew automatically, so there is nothing to cancel — we e-mail you before it ends and you can extend it at any time. In every case Premium stays active until the last day of the paid period.

What is Plan Studio and what does it cost?

Upload a photo of your floor plan (or a PDF, or a camera shot) and the AI reads the rooms, measures them, calculates the finishing cost with the same engine as the calculator, and renders every room in the style you choose. Plan Studio is part of Premium, which includes 3 free images every month; if you need more, buy a pack: one image, three images, or the full plan (10 images). It works on the website, iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac with the same account.

How long does finishing take?

With one crew per trade working six days a week, a 150 m² apartment at the Standard level usually takes 9 to 13 weeks (about 2.5 months): two weeks of electrical and plumbing rough-in, two weeks of gypsum, three and a half weeks of tiling, four weeks of paint including drying, then aluminium, doors and the finishes. Economy is a little faster; Luxury and Ultra reach 3–4 months. With Premium you see the trade-by-trade schedule for your own apartment in the calculator and the app.

Can it price a villa, an office or a shop too?

Yes. Pick the unit type from 10 — apartment, villa, townhouse, twin house, studio, office, shop, restaurant, clinic or pharmacy — and the calculator fills in typical sizes and adds the lines each type needs: marble stairs and an entrance for villas and houses, a glass shopfront and fit-out for shops, heavy-duty floors and extraction for restaurants, and fit-outs for clinics, pharmacies and offices. The same prices and the same result on the website, iPhone and Android.

My unit is bare brick, or has old finishing — how does that change the cost?

Choose its current condition: red brick (full plastering added), plastered only, semi-finished (plaster and the electrical and plumbing rough-in are already done, so they're left out), old finishing (strip-out, removal and debris haulage added before the renovation), or finished and needing furnishing (only a repaint, plus the kitchen, A/C and furniture you choose). The expected finishing duration follows the condition too.

Does it include the kitchen, air conditioning and furniture?

Yes, depending on the service you choose: finishing only, finishing + kitchen, finishing + furniture, turnkey (ready to move in) or rental-ready. Kitchens are priced per linear metre by material (MDF, HPL, acrylic, natural wood or imported) with the worktop; A/C as 1–2 or 3–5 split units, or central per m²; furniture as basic, full, luxury or ultra luxury. Turnkey adds appliances, lighting and curtains, and rental-ready adds guest supplies. These lines are shown separately from the finishing works, outside the finish-level markup, and furniture and appliances carry no supervision fee.

Which devices does Tashteeby run on?

All of them, with one account: iPhone and iPad from the App Store, Android from Google Play, Windows PCs from the Microsoft Store and Macs from the Mac App Store — plus the website in any browser. The same estimating engine and market prices everywhere, and your plans, images and subscription stay in sync.
