A 100 m² flat on red brick or plastered? 2026 prices
The state at handover changes the work before finishing: on red brick you still need the rough-in and the plastering; plastered, only the rough-in; semi-finished starts straight from gypsum and tiling.

Plastering a 100 m² flat
Plastering in this example is EGP 52,498 before supervision: 321 m² of walls × EGP 123 (spatter coat, screeds, guides and plaster) and 95 m² of ceilings × EGP 137. The electrical and plumbing rough-in must go in before plastering so it is buried in the wall — the other way round means breaking new plaster.

Market material prices vs the prices used here
After "what will the flat cost", the most common question is "what does tiling cost per m²?". These are 2026 prices published by a newspaper and two contractors, next to the prices this estimate uses:
| Source | Published price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Al-Dostor newspaper11 May 2026 | Cleopatra grade 1 280–450 · Royal grade 1 260–420 · grade-2 ceramic 160–230 · grade 3 110–150 · local 60×60 porcelain 450–650 · imported 750–1,200 · bathroom wall tiles 170–380 EGP/m² | Market price of the tile, not fitted. |
| GSC للإنشاءاتMarch 2026 | Ceramic floors 150–400 · porcelain 300–800 · paint 70–150 · electrical 150–300 · plumbing 200–400 EGP/m² | A contractor's item rates; the page doesn't separate materials from labour. |
| Kaydc (كايدك)25 February 2026 | Ordinary plaster 80–120 EGP/m² with mortar and labour | The same page also lists 80–120 as labour only in another table. |
| In the Tashteeby estimate | Price (EGP/m²) |
|---|---|
| 60×60 floor ceramic (material) | 220 |
| Porcelain (material) | 378 |
| Bathroom wall tile (material) | 202 |
| Tiling labour | 112 |
| Reception porcelain, fitted (material + labour + waste) | 446 |
| Bedroom ceramic, fitted | 312 |
| Wall plastering with materials and labour | 123 |
The ceramic price in the estimate sits in Al-Dostor's grade-2 range and among the cheapest grade-1 brands. The porcelain price is below Al-Dostor's range for local 60×60 porcelain (450–650) and near the bottom of GSC's (300–800) — so the estimate assumes mid-range local materials, not top brands. If you'll pick a specific brand or imported porcelain, choose a higher level in the calculator or edit that line's price in the BOQ (Premium). Our plastering rate is at the top of Kaydc's range because it includes the spatter coat, screeds and guides.

How to spend less on a 100 m² flat
- Economy level saves about EGP 81,272 versus Standard on the same flat — the same quantities in ceramic instead of porcelain, Moski wood and a Chinese door.
- Painted ceilings without gypsum board save about EGP 54,741 (the board and the spots set in it).
- The bathroom and kitchen are the costliest metres: sanitary ware and mixers alone are EGP 76,740, so choosing brands here matters more than paint.
- Buy exactly the BOQ quantities: excess tile and paint waste is one of the commonest reasons budgets overrun.
