How these price guides are calculated
Price ranges are based on real renovation quotes from verified professionals. We group similar projects, remove outliers, and update the data as new jobs are completed.
Real quotes and project scope
We review published budgets, common line items, and recurring scope patterns from homeowner projects and professional quotes.
Useful reference ranges
We group comparable jobs, remove clear outliers, and keep the range broad enough to stay realistic before a tailored quote.
Regularly refreshed guidance
As new guides are normalized and more projects are reviewed, the examples and ranges become more complete and representative.
These ranges are indicative. Use them as a starting point before requesting tailored quotes for permits & licenses.

Habitability Certificate for Housing: Price and Budgets
Obtaining a habitability certificate is a fairly common procedure and should not pose any problems in most cases. The average price for obtaining one is 110 €. However, the cheapest prices can be around 70 €, while the most expensive are around 180 €.
Activity Licenses: Price and Budgets
For spaces under 300 m², the law allows companies to operate by submitting a declaration of responsibility, which replaces the activity license for conducting business while the municipal procedure is resolved, to expedite the process.
Prices and Budgets for Building Permits
The price of a building permit varies depending on the type of renovation, its scope, and the municipality. In general, building permits including the municipal tax and construction tax represent between 2 and 6% of the Material Execution Budget (PEM).
Prices and Budgets for Obtaining an Opening License
The average cost of opening licenses can be around 1,000 € for low-risk activities and around 2,000 € for other types of activities. However, these amounts can vary depending on the fees applied by each municipality and the characteristics of both the space and the activity.
Processing a Declaration of Responsibility: Price and Budgets
The price of processing a declaration of responsibility will depend on the characteristics of the business activity and the space, as well as professional fees. In general, it can cost between 150 € and 350 €.
