What are the base timelines by finish level?

As a starting reference: Essential finishes take around 5 weeks, Plus around 7 weeks, and Premium around 10 weeks, for a standard-size apartment (up to 50 m²).

These timelines increase with apartment size and with the number of extras selected (fitted kitchen, closets, drywall), because each additional space needs its own installation and material curing time.

What factors extend the timeline?

Apartment size (more m² means more weeks), the number of extras selected, material availability (some premium finishes are imported and take longer to arrive), and building access (freight elevators, the building's own construction-hours rules).

Why give a timeline in weeks instead of an approximate date?

Because an approximate date isn't verifiable or enforceable. A timeline in weeks, confirmed in writing before work starts, is what lets you plan your move with confidence — and hold the team accountable if it slips.

The online quote simulator calculates the estimated timeline for your specific case at the same moment it shows you the price range.
