Turnkey · Compliances · 2026 costsComplete home renovation in Gurgaon — strip-out to handover, one team.
A full renovation is not a paint job with new curtains — it's demolition, structure, wiring, plumbing, waterproofing, kitchens, bathrooms and interiors, all sequenced correctly. Here's what a complete turnkey renovation in Gurgaon includes, the compliances and RWA rules involved, what it costs in 2026, and how to pick a partner who won't disappear between trades.
A complete renovation is seven projects in one.
The reason full renovations fail is sequencing — trades done out of order, or by contractors who never meet. Here's the full scope stack, in the order it must happen.
| Stage | What happens | Typical share of budget | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Strip-out & discovery | Demolition of old finishes, debris removal, walls opened, hidden damage assessed | 3 – 5% | 1 – 2 weeks |
| 2. Structural & masonry | Strengthening, wall moves, new openings, lintel and beam work | 8 – 12% | 1 – 3 weeks |
| 3. MEP rough-in | Full electrical rewiring, new panels, CPVC plumbing lines, AC and HVAC piping | 10 – 15% | 2 – 3 weeks |
| 4. Waterproofing & wet areas | Bathroom sunk slabs, terrace, balconies — flood-tested before tiling | 4 – 6% | 1 – 2 weeks |
| 5. Flooring & tiling | Vitrified, engineered wood or marble; bathroom and kitchen tiling | 12 – 18% | 2 – 4 weeks |
| 6. Ceilings, kitchen & woodwork | False ceilings, modular kitchen, wardrobes, doors, panelling | 30 – 40% | 3 – 5 weeks |
| 7. Finishes & fit-out | Painting, fixtures, lighting, furniture, decor, deep clean, handover | 15 – 20% | 1 – 2 weeks |
The discovery rule: in a 20+ year old Gurgaon house, budget a 10–15% contingency for what strip-out reveals — corroded pipes, dead wiring, damp, termites. A renovation quote given without a physical inspection will miss these; that's why our site inspection is free and comes first.
The compliances behind a Gurgaon renovation.
Renovation is lighter on approvals than new construction, but in Gurgaon's condominiums and plotted colonies, the rules are real — and ignoring them stops work mid-project.
| Compliance | Who enforces it | When it applies | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|
| RWA / society NOC | Apartment & condominium associations | Before any renovation starts in a flat | Application + deposit; 1 – 3 weeks; fixed working hours, usually 9 am – 5 pm weekdays |
| Lift & common area protection | Society facility management | Throughout the project | Lift padding, corridor protection, daily debris clearance — fines for damage |
| Revised sanctioned plan | HSVP / MCG | Structural changes in plotted houses — load-bearing walls, added floors, covered-area extension, facade setback changes | Revised drawings by a licensed architect; 30 – 90 days |
| Colony architectural control | DLF, Sushant Lok, South City and other colony bodies | Any external change — facade, boundary wall, terrace additions | Design approval against colony guidelines; 1 – 4 weeks, parallel with planning |
| Dust & waste rules | HSPCB / MCG sanitation | Demolition, masonry, tile cutting | Debris to authorised C&D waste points only; dust screens on open work |
| GRAP winter restrictions | CAQM | November – January, when AQI crosses thresholds | Dust-generating stages pause at GRAP III–IV; sequence civil work before winter |
The winter factor: between November and January, GRAP rules in Delhi NCR can halt demolition and masonry for days or weeks at a stretch. We sequence renovation calendars so dusty stages finish before Diwali — or start after February.
Bathrooms and kitchens carry half the budget.
In almost every complete renovation we price, the kitchen plus bathrooms account for 40–50% of the total — because they concentrate waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, stone and fittings into the smallest rooms.
Why wet areas cost what they cost
A bathroom renovation is a rebuild in miniature: strip to the slab, re-waterproof and flood-test, re-plumb, re-tile, then fittings. Done right it's the longest-lasting room in the house; done cheap it's the first to leak into your neighbour's ceiling.
- Bathroom (each): ₹1.8–3 lakh standard, ₹4–7 lakh premium — waterproofing system, tile size and CP fittings drive the spread
- Kitchen: ₹3.5–6 lakh standard, ₹8–15 lakh premium — countertop stone, hardware brand and appliance stack decide it
- Flood-testing is non-negotiable — every wet area is water-tested for 72 hours before tiling, and photographed for your records
- Plumbing replaced, not patched — full CPVC re-line while walls are open; mixing old pipes with new is how leaks start
Full room-wise numbers: see our renovation cost guide for Delhi NCR & Gurgaon — per sq ft bands, room-wise tables and the renovate-vs-rebuild math.
Interiors designed with the renovation, not after it.
Because our designers and civil teams are one studio, electrical points, ceiling drops, plumbing routes and furniture plans are frozen together — nothing gets hacked open after the paint dries.
What the interior layer includes
False ceilings and layered lighting, the modular kitchen, wardrobes and storage, wall finishes and panelling, furniture and soft furnishings — all custom-designed for your rooms, not picked from a catalogue grid.
- Custom, site-specific design — every plan drawn for your home's dimensions, light and how your family actually lives
- Ceilings and lighting as architecture — cove systems, double-height details and automation-ready drivers, planned with the structure
- Storage designed around you — wardrobes ₹1,200–3,500 per sq ft depending on shutters and internals, built to the millimetre
- One warranty, one team — civil work and interiors carry a single accountability, so there's no finger-pointing between trades

Evas Designs vs Livspace & HomeLane for a complete renovation.
Livspace and HomeLane are excellent at their actual business — factory-made modular interiors for ready flats. A complete renovation is mostly civil work, and that's where the comparison gets one-sided.
| What a full renovation needs | Evas Designs (design-build studio) | Livspace / HomeLane (commercial interior brands) |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition & strip-out | In-house, with dust control and debris disposal to authorised points | Not in scope — they start on a bare, ready space |
| Structural & masonry work | In-house — wall moves, strengthening, new openings, lintels | Declined or subcontracted outside their warranty |
| Rewiring & re-plumbing | Full MEP replacement, designed with the interiors | Minor point-shifting only; no full-service replacement |
| Waterproofing | Sunk slabs, terraces, balconies — flood-tested before tiling | Not a core scope; treated as a subcontracted add-on |
| RWA & compliance handling | NOC process, colony rules, working hours and debris norms managed for you | Left to the homeowner |
| Design approach | Custom — drawn around your home, not a catalogue | Catalogue-led packages and templates, adapted to fit |
| Accountability | One contract, one in-house team, one number to call | Brand + freelance designer + factory vendors + subcontractors |
| Best for | Complete renovations, bungalows, builder floors, structural changes | Kitchens and wardrobes in newer flats with zero civil work |
Fair note: if your scope is genuinely just a modular kitchen and wardrobes in a newer flat, the big brands' factory pricing is hard to beat — we'll tell you that ourselves. But a "complete renovation" quote from a company that doesn't do civil work isn't a complete renovation quote. Full breakdown on our Evas vs Livspace vs HomeLane comparison page.
How a turnkey renovation actually begins.
Four steps that separate a controlled renovation from a runaway one — all before the first wall comes down.
Free site inspection
We open up, probe and measure — structure, damp, wiring, plumbing. In old Gurgaon houses, this visit decides 30% of the budget. Any quote without it is a guess.
Scope and itemised BOQ
You get a line-by-line scope — what stays, what goes, what gets replaced — priced item by item, with a 10–15% discovery contingency agreed upfront, not improvised later.
Compliances and calendar
RWA or society NOC filed, colony rules confirmed, working hours locked, and the dusty stages sequenced around winter GRAP restrictions before work starts.
Strip-out to handover
Seven stages in the correct order by our in-house teams, with weekly photo reports and stage-wise billing — ending with a deep clean and your keys back.
Full-home renovation in Gurgaon, answered plainly.
What homeowners ask us before starting a complete renovation in Gurgaon.
A complete or turnkey home renovation covers everything from strip-out to handover: demolition of old finishes, structural repairs and strengthening, full electrical rewiring and plumbing replacement, waterproofing of bathrooms and terraces, new flooring, kitchen and bathrooms, false ceilings and lighting, woodwork and wardrobes, painting, and the final interior fit-out with furniture and decor. One team designs it, executes it and hands back a finished home — you don't coordinate separate civil, MEP and interior contractors.
In 2026, a complete home renovation in Gurgaon costs roughly ₹1,400–2,200 per sq ft for a standard scope, ₹2,200–3,500 per sq ft for premium, and ₹3,500+ per sq ft for luxury with structural changes and imported finishes. A 2,000 sq ft apartment typically lands between ₹28 lakh and ₹70 lakh depending on scope, while a 3,000 sq ft bungalow renovation with facade and structural work runs ₹60 lakh to ₹1.1 crore. Kitchen and bathrooms alone usually carry 40–50% of the budget.
Internal, non-structural renovation needs no municipal approval. In apartments, you need an RWA or society NOC before work starts, and must follow fixed working hours, lift protection and debris-disposal rules. In plotted houses, internal work is free of approvals, but structural changes — moving load-bearing walls, adding a floor, extending covered area or changing the facade setback — require revised sanctioned plans from HSVP or MCG. All renovation sites must also follow dust-control and construction-waste rules, with tighter GRAP restrictions in winter.
A full apartment renovation takes 8–14 weeks; a bungalow or villa renovation with structural, facade or waterproofing scope takes 4–7 months. The first 2–3 weeks go to strip-out and discovery — opening walls and floors to find what the old house is hiding. Between November and January, GRAP restrictions can pause dust-generating work like demolition, masonry and tile cutting, so starting civil work in September–October or February–March keeps the calendar honest.
Whole-house renovation is 15–25% cheaper than the same work done room by room over two years, because mobilisation, debris removal, scaffolding, and MEP rough-ins happen once instead of repeatedly. It also produces a coherent design — flooring levels, ceiling lines and electrical planning align across rooms. Room-by-room only makes sense when you're living in the house during the work, and even then a phased whole-house plan with one team beats a series of unrelated contractors.
For a cosmetic refresh, yes. For a complete renovation with demolition, rewiring and bathroom rebuilds, practically no — water and power are shut for long stretches, dust is constant despite barriers, and bathrooms are unusable for weeks. Most of our Gurgaon clients move to a rented flat or a relative's home for 3–6 months; the rent is almost always less than the cost overruns and delays of working around an occupied home.
Livspace and HomeLane are interior-furnishing companies built around factory-made modular packages — they don't do demolition, masonry, waterproofing, structural strengthening or MEP replacement, which is 60% of a complete renovation. Evas Designs is a design-build studio: architecture, civil work, services and interiors are handled by one in-house team under one contract, so nothing falls between a civil contractor and an interior brand blaming each other. For a kitchen-and-wardrobes refresh in a newer flat, the big brands are competitive; for a full renovation, they aren't in that business.
Yes. We renovate apartments, builder floors, bungalows and villas across Gurgaon — DLF Phase 1–5, Sushant Lok, South City, Sector 45–57, Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road, Nirvana Country and the major condominiums — plus South Delhi through our Malviya Nagar studio. We handle the society or RWA NOC process, working-hour rules, lift protection and debris norms as part of the scope, because in Gurgaon condos that is half the battle.
