How to use Tashteeby
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.
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.
It recognises the reception, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms and measures each room. Review the list and fix any number with a tap.
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.
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.
The service, unit type and condition, then area, rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and balconies — or answer the guided setup step by step. Every quantity is derived from your actual area.
Economy, Standard, Luxury or Ultra. Each level swaps the materials: porcelain or ceramic, Moski or Aro wood, a Chinese or Turkish door.
The total instantly and for free — and with Premium: the cost per m² and the split across trades, a line-by-line bill of quantities you can edit and export as PDF, plus the expected finishing duration per trade.
New · AI-powered
Upload your floor plan in Plan Studio: it reads the rooms and areas, estimates the finishing cost and expected duration with the Tashteeby engine, and renders a photoreal image of every room at the finish level and style you choose — for Premium members on the website and in the app with one account.
A real Plan Studio example
We uploaded this plan to Plan Studio like any member would: the AI read it in about 20 seconds, Tashteeby's engine priced the work and the timeline at Cairo market rates, and the images were rendered from the plan itself. This is the actual output, unedited.
| Room | Area |
|---|---|
| Reception and dining | 39.6 m² |
| Master bedroom | 25.9 m² |
| Bedroom 3 | 17.6 m² |
| Bedroom 2 | 16.0 m² |
| Kitchen | 15.6 m² |
| Entrance | 11.4 m² |
| Corridor | 8.6 m² |
| Balcony | 8.6 m² |
| Laundry | 4.8 m² |
| En-suite bathroom | 3.5 m² |
| Bathroom | 3.5 m² |
| Total area | 155.1 m² |


Renders are imaginative impressions of style and colour, not construction drawings; cost and duration are estimates based on market averages.
Features
Tashteeby isn't a rough calculator — it's a real bill of quantities built from your unit's quantities and market prices, for finishing, kitchen, A/C and furniture, plus a project timeline and a Plan Studio that reads your plan with AI and renders it finished. The calculator is free; the rest comes with Premium.
Apartment, villa, townhouse, office, shop, restaurant, clinic or pharmacy — from bare red brick, plaster, semi-finished or old finishing that needs stripping out. The calculator adds the right lines for each case, with a guided step-by-step setup on the website and in the app.
Finishing only, turnkey or rental-ready: an MDF, HPL, acrylic or wood kitchen, split or central A/C, and furniture from basic to ultra luxury — priced separately from the finishing works.
An image, a PDF or a camera shot — it recognises the reception, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms and measures their areas; review the list and fix any number with a tap. For Premium members, with one account on the website and the app.
Your plans, renders, credits and subscription sync across the website, iPhone, Android and the Windows and Mac apps — start on the phone and continue on the computer.
Pick a style and see your rooms finished within a minute — before you buy a single tile. One image, three, or the full plan.
Premium gives you 3 free images every month; need more? One image, three images, or the full plan (10 images). Credits never expire and a failed image is refunded.
How many weeks will your project take? An estimated schedule for every trade — from demolition, plastering and rough-in to tiling and paint, with the kitchen and furniture made in parallel — and the overall duration in weeks and months for your area and finish level. With Premium on the website and in the app.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
