Construction Georgia’s rates cover labour only. Its rough materials average a further $100 to $150 per m² depending on the finish class, and finishing materials come on top of that. Evospace bases its figure on a 130 to 150 m² flat and prices custom furniture at a further $130 to $150 per m². Easy adds 10% to the receipt when its team buys and delivers materials. My New Home fixes a lari price once it has reviewed the scope, and Remonté takes 5 to 10 workdays to calculate a budget and timeline.
What to check before signing a renovation contract
- The payment schedule. Geometria takes no prepayment for labour, and Easy takes an advance only for materials. Gamiremonte asks for a deposit and then milestone payments, and Remonté’s first invoice is usually 30% or 40% of the budget.
- The deadline and the penalty for missing it. Construction Georgia pays a penalty for each day of delay, Easy accepts liability for losses caused by delays, and Gamiremonte writes its timelines into the contract.
- The warranty term. Evospace covers works and materials for 3 years, Construction Georgia and Gamiremonte give 2 years, and KPI Studios and Easy give 1 year.
- How you will see the hidden work. Construction Georgia photographs wiring and pipes each week before they are closed up. Evospace streams the site on video around the clock, and My New Home and Easy can add 24/7 video.
- The condition of a new flat at handover. Geometria inspects a new apartment free of charge when you accept it from the developer.
- A second opinion on the estimate. Construction Georgia audits quotes from other contractors from $4 per m², with a $150 minimum, and returns a written list of discrepancies.
Cosmetic, capital and designer renovation
Construction Georgia, Geometria and Gamiremonte each sell renovation in three levels. Cosmetic work refreshes a flat that already functions. At Geometria it means removing old coverings, painting or papering the walls, laying laminate on the existing floor and replacing sockets, switches and taps. Capital or major renovation rebuilds the interior with new partitions, floor screed, full rewiring, concealed pipework and bathroom tiling. Designer renovation adds a design project and author supervision, with the designer checking the work on site.
The firms also differ in what else they do. KPI Studios, Evospace and My New Home produce the design project and carry out the build, and Evospace makes the furniture as well. GeoRenovate, OBRA.ge and Construction Georgia also take on house construction.
