Complete Home Renovation in Antalya

We strip, re-plumb, rewire and refinish flats and villas across Antalya under one contract and one schedule, and we run the whole job for owners who are abroad.

A complete renovation means dealing with every layer of a property at the same time: the pipes and cables inside the walls, the screed under the floor, the wet rooms, the kitchen, the doors and the final coat of paint. Much of the housing that foreign buyers pick up in Antalya was built for a different way of living, with tired plumbing, undersized electrical boards and bathrooms that have never been properly waterproofed. Patching these homes room by room tends to cost more in the long run, because every later job disturbs the one before it. We plan the whole property as one project so that each trade follows the previous one in the right order.

Many of our complete renovations are run for owners who are not in Turkey while the work happens. The sequence is simple: we collect the keys from whoever holds them, survey the property, and send you a written, itemised quote with a schedule. Nothing is bought and nothing is demolished until you have approved the scope by message. From then on you receive photo and short video updates at each stage, every material choice arrives as a picture with a price before it is ordered, and payments are released in instalments that match finished milestones rather than calendar dates.

Renovating in Turkey also involves a few local realities that are worth knowing in advance. Apartment and complex management (the yönetim) usually needs to be informed, work is restricted to daytime hours and often paused on Sundays, and anything touching shared risers or the facade needs written consent. The Mediterranean climate punishes poor ventilation and missing waterproofing with mould within a single winter. We handle the management paperwork, build moisture control into the design, and advise honestly on what is worth buying in Antalya's showrooms and what, if anything, is worth bringing from abroad.

What's Included

Work items that are part of our standard quote.

  • Free site visit, measured drawings and a room-by-room list of work items
  • Strip-out and demolition, with debris bagged and removed from the building
  • Full rewiring to a new distribution board, with socket and switch positions agreed on a plan
  • New hot, cold and waste plumbing, and heating pipework where the property has it
  • Waterproofing, tiling, sanitary ware and taps in bathrooms and the kitchen
  • Floor finishes: laminate, engineered wood, ceramic or porcelain tile, with screed and levelling
  • Plasterboard, skim coat, filler and interior painting throughout
  • Interior doors, skirting boards, window reveals and sills
  • Post-construction clean and a video walkthrough before key handover
  • Warranty: 3 years (On all our work, including plastering, painting, insulation and plumbing; terms are set out in the quote and contract.)

What's Not Included

Items added on request or handled by a separate specialist.

  • Removal of load-bearing walls or columns (requires a structural engineer's report and municipal approval)
  • Gas boiler replacement and gas pipework (must be done by the licensed gas company; we coordinate the visit)
  • Purchase of white goods, air conditioners and loose furniture (we source and fit them on request, as a separate line in the quote)
  • External insulation and works to communal areas (a building-wide decision handled as a separate service)
  • Legal correspondence with the land registry or notary (we provide the documents your lawyer or translator asks for)

How the Work Proceeds

The order we follow from site visit to handover.

  1. 01

    Key collection and survey

    We pick up the keys from your neighbour, estate agent or site office, photograph every room, test the water pressure and the electrics, and note what you want changed.

  2. 02

    Layout, materials and written quote

    You receive a plan with the new layout, a materials list grouped by grade, an itemised quote and a week-by-week schedule to approve by message.

  3. 03

    Strip-out and first fix

    Old finishes come out, debris leaves the building, and new electrical and plumbing routes are chased into the walls and pressure tested.

  4. 04

    Rough works

    Plaster, screed, waterproofing, plasterboard and any suspended ceilings go in; this is the stage with the most photos, because it will soon be hidden.

  5. 05

    Finishes and fit-out

    Tiles, flooring, paint, doors, kitchen and bathroom furniture are installed in sequence, each confirmed with you before the next starts.

  6. 06

    Snagging, clean and handover

    We run every tap and circuit, walk you through the home on a video call, close the snag list, clean, and return the keys to the person you name.

What Drives the Cost

The main variables that move the quote up or down.

  1. 01

    Floor area and number of wet rooms

    Square metres drive most line items, while each additional bathroom or utility room adds plumbing, waterproofing and tiling.

  2. 02

    How much of the services are replaced

    Repairing a few runs is very different from new pipework and cabling throughout; in older Antalya buildings we almost always recommend full replacement.

  3. 03

    Material grade

    Tiles, flooring, sanitary ware and cabinet fronts make up the bulk of the budget; identical workmanship can carry very different totals.

  4. 04

    Layout changes

    Moving a kitchen, adding a bathroom or taking down partitions lengthens the pipe and cable routes and adds making-good.

  5. 05

    Floor level and lift access

    Carrying debris down and materials up in a building without a lift adds labour on every stage.

  6. 06

    Working conditions

    Quiet hours in the complex, a furnished property or a tenant still in residence all lengthen the programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions specific to this service.

Do I need to travel to Antalya at any point during a complete renovation?

No. The survey, quoting, approvals, progress checks and handover can all be done while you are abroad, and many of our clients see the finished home in person for the first time when they arrive for their holiday. If you want to visit for the tile and kitchen selection, we plan that around your dates, but it is a choice rather than a requirement.

How do you get into my flat if I am not there?

You tell us who holds a key, usually a neighbour, your estate agent or the site management office, and we collect it and confirm to you by message. The keys stay with one named person on our side for the whole job. At the end we hand them to the person you name, or keep them safe for your arrival.

What do the progress reports actually look like?

You receive photos and short video clips in a dedicated chat at every stage change, not just at the end. Before anything is covered up, such as new pipework in a wall or waterproofing under the tiles, we photograph it so you have a record of what sits behind the finish. If something needs a decision, the message states the options, the cost difference and what happens to the schedule.

Should I buy materials in my own country and ship them to Turkey?

For almost everything, no. Antalya has large tile, sanitary ware, flooring and kitchen showrooms carrying European and Turkish brands, and buying locally means spares, returns and installers who know the product. Items worth bringing are usually small and personal, such as a particular tap or light fitting; even then we check that it suits Turkish pipe threads and the mains supply before you pack it.

Do I need permission from the building management to renovate?

In most buildings you need to inform the management, agree working hours and pay any deposit the complex requires for lift protection or debris removal. Works that touch shared pipes, the facade or structural elements need written consent from the management or the owners' board. We prepare the notification letter and work plan in Turkish and deal with the site office directly.

How are payments structured and can I pay from abroad?

Payments are tied to milestones written into the quote: a materials deposit at the start, a payment when the first fix and rough works are complete, and the balance after the handover video and snag list. Each milestone comes with photos so you can see it is done before you transfer. Bank transfers from abroad in foreign currency or lira are both fine, and every payment is matched to an invoice.

What happens if you find a problem behind a wall or under the floor?

We stop that part of the work, photograph the issue, and send you a message describing what we found, what we recommend and what it would cost as an extra line. Nothing outside the approved quote is done until you reply. Typical surprises in older Antalya buildings are corroded pipes, missing waterproofing and plaster that comes away with the old tiles.

Can you change the floor plan, for example add a second bathroom or enlarge a bedroom?

Yes, provided the walls involved are non-structural partitions and a waste connection can be routed with enough fall. We confirm both at the survey, and anything that would involve a load-bearing element goes to an engineer first. Where a waste route is not possible we say so clearly rather than installing a pump you will regret.
