Quantities are derived from your area, unit type and current condition; unit prices include materials and labour. The kitchen, A/C and furniture are priced at their own level, outside the finish-level markup.

Quick reference before you calculate

Totals include 15% engineering supervision, for typical plastered units at Cairo prices. Use the calculator above to adjust the details.

How to use the calculator

1Enter the net area in square metresplus the number of rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and balconies — the engine turns them into real quantities.
2Pick the finish levelEconomy, Standard, Luxury or Ultra; each level changes the materials and brands, not the quantities.
3Read the totaland, with Premium, see which trade takes the largest share. The link updates automatically so you can share it or come back to it.

What separates the four levels

EconomyCeramic · small section · Moski wood · Chinese door
StandardPorcelain reception · Azizi wood · Turkish door
LuxuryFull porcelain · Jumbo · Aro (oak) wood
UltraImported porcelain · thermal aluminium · premium sanitary

The level changes the materials, not the quantities: the same metres and the same number of points, but ceramic becomes porcelain, Moski wood becomes Azizi or Aro, the Chinese door becomes Turkish and the sanitary ware moves up a grade. That is why the gap between Economy and Ultra reaches roughly 70% on the same apartment.

What the number includes — and what it doesn't

The figure covers complete finishing works for a plastered (semi-finished) unit: electrical rough-in and finish, plumbing rough-in and finish including sanitary ware and mixers, ceramic or porcelain tiling, gypsum and gypsum board, aluminium, paint, wooden frames and doors plus the apartment door, and marble. Every line is quantity × unit price, plus 15% engineering supervision and overheads, the way a contractor prices it.

The default figure (finishing only, for a plastered apartment) does not include plastering, kitchen cabinets, A/C units or furniture — but you can add them in the calculator itself: choose “red brick” as the condition to add plastering, or “old finishing” to add strip-out and debris removal, and pick the “finishing + kitchen”, “finishing + furniture”, “turnkey” or “rental-ready” service to add the kitchen, A/C, furniture and appliances. You can also choose the unit type (villa, office, shop, restaurant, clinic…) and the ceilings. Structural work and wall changes are not included.

How the number is calculated

Tashteeby doesn't just apply an "average per metre". The engine takes the unit's area and the number of rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and balconies and turns them into real quantities — square metres of floor and wall, electrical points and sockets, metres of pipe, doors and windows — then multiplies each quantity by the current market price of the material and labour.

Prices are Cairo market averages collected and refreshed periodically by the Tashteeby team in the Tashteeby price database; the same prices sync to the app and the website. Last update: . The figures on this page refresh automatically with every price update.

They are estimated averages for budgeting and negotiation — not a contractor's quote. Actual prices vary with the unit's condition, the brands you choose, the area and timing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the calculator free? Do I need an account?
Completely free, no sign-up and no personal data. An account and a Premium subscription are only needed for Plan Studio, the expected finishing timeline and the full line-by-line BOQ.
Can I price a villa or a shop, a bare-brick unit, or add a kitchen, A/C and furniture?
Yes. Choose the service (finishing only, + kitchen, + furniture, turnkey or rental-ready), the unit type from 10, its current condition (red brick, plastered, semi-finished, old finishing, or finished and needing furnishing), the ceilings, the kitchen, the A/C and the furniture level — or tap “Guided setup” and answer step by step. The kitchen, A/C and furniture are shown separately from the finishing works.
How long does finishing take?
With one crew per trade working six days a week, a 150 m² Standard apartment usually takes 9–13 weeks (≈ 2.5 months), and a 100 m² apartment 7–10 weeks. Luxury and Ultra take longer. With Premium the calculator shows a trade-by-trade schedule for your own apartment: rough-in, gypsum, tiling, paint, doors and finishes.
Which city are these prices for?
Greater Cairo market prices. If your apartment is in Saudi Arabia, switch the market at the top of the calculator and it runs on Riyadh prices in SAR. Prices last updated: .
Is this a quote I can sign on?
No. It is an estimated market average calculated from your unit's quantities and current material prices — an excellent basis for budgeting and negotiation, but check with a contractor or supplier before signing.
How do I see the line-by-line BOQ?
The calculator here shows the total for free. The cost per m², the split by trade, the full BOQ (110 lines with quantities and unit prices), editable quantities and rates, and PDF export are available to Premium members in the app.
What is the difference between this calculator and the app?
Same engine, same prices. The app adds saved units and, with Premium, the detailed BOQ, editable prices, the expected finishing timeline, and Plan Studio, which reads your floor plan and renders its rooms.
