How to estimate your apartment budget in 5 minutes

1. Net area ≈ 80% of gross area.
2. Pick a package from the table above.
3. Multiply area × price/m² for a baseline.
4. Add a 10–15% buffer for material price swings.

Example: 150 m² Super Lux apartment → 150 × 10,500 = EGP 1,575,000 + 15% buffer ≈ EGP 1,810,000.

Cost drivers to watch

• Location: New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed run 10–20% above Mohandessin.
• Carpentry: Dressing rooms, libraries, and TV units can hit 30% of total budget.
• Smart lighting: adds EGP 50k–150k easily.
• Imported marble: 2–3× the price of local stone.

Before you sign a finishing contract

• Ask for an itemized quote with brand, model, and country of origin.
• Require a delivery date with a late-delivery penalty.
• Get a written warranty of at least one year on MEP work.
• Pay in staged installments, never a full upfront payment.
