Finishing cost calculator for Egypt & Saudi Arabia
Tashteeby estimates the cost of finishing your apartment from its area, rooms and finish level, then breaks it down line by line at current Cairo or Riyadh market prices — from bare brick to the final number.
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 and Android.
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, cost per m² and line-by-line BOQ appear from the same engine as the app — with 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.
Area, rooms, bathrooms, reception, kitchen and balconies. 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 and cost per m² instantly and for free — and with Premium: a line-by-line bill of quantities you can edit and export as PDF, plus the expected finishing duration per trade.

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.

FAQ
They are estimated Cairo market averages, calculated from your apartment'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: the total, cost per m² and the split across trades, on the website and in the app. 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.

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 and Android 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.
