Total

2-room apartment: 150-250 thousand ₽ with materials and work. The project is 5-10% of this — it saves 15-30%.

Where to save

The project controls the cable length and materials; purchases by the specification — no markup; the estimate per the plan — no «unforeseen».

How GorkyCAD helps

The estimate is generated from the model: exact cable meters, exact list — the budget is known before the work starts.
