NYC Renovation Cost Estimator
Havard Cooper Architect helps owners of NYC co-ops, condos, townhouses, and multi-family buildings understand the true cost of renovation — before they commit to a project.
What we estimate
- Hard costs — construction labor and materials (demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, finishes)
- Soft costs — architecture, engineering, expediting, permits, and filing fees (typically 20% of hard costs)
- Contingency — a 10% buffer for unforeseen conditions common in NYC apartment renovations
Renovation types
- Cosmetic refresh — paint, flooring, fixtures; no structural or mechanical work
- Partial renovation — targeted kitchen or bathroom upgrades with selective systems work
- Full gut renovation — complete interior rebuild, all systems replaced
Building types covered
- Co-operative apartments (co-ops)
- Condominium units
- Townhouses (1.15× multiplier for added complexity)
- Multi-family buildings
