How to get an accurate renovation quote in Luxembourg

The more detailed your project description, the more accurate the contractor’s estimate. Here’s what to prepare for the most precise quote possible.

1

Describe your project in detail

Visualise the desired result, write a few lines, attach photos of the current state and inspiration images. The better the contractor understands your vision, the more accurate the quote will be.

2

Define your budget range

Indicate whether you’re looking at approximately €20,000, €50,000 or €100,000. The contractor will adapt their material and service proposals accordingly.

3

Prepare useful documents

Architect plans, plumbing/electrical layouts, co-ownership rules if you’re in an apartment. These documents significantly speed up the quoting process.

4

Flag any constraints

Co-ownership rules, encroachment on public space, listed building, difficult delivery access… Any unreported constraint may lead to quote adjustments later.

ℹ️ Timeline for receiving your quote

If your documents are complete and the site visit went well, the contractor can send you a detailed quote within 48 to 72 working hours after the on-site visit.

What should a renovation quote include in Luxembourg?

A professional quote in Luxembourg must be detailed and transparent. Here’s what you should find in every quote from our partner contractors:

Total price excl. and incl. VAT — stating the VAT rate applied (3% if eligible, 17% otherwise)

Breakdown of each work item — clearly separating material costs and labour rates (hourly or daily)

Explanations for each line — type of material, description of work, estimated duration for each item

Provisional timeline — start date, estimated duration per phase, expected delivery date

Payment terms — instalments, deposit on signing, balance on completion

⚠️ Incomplete quote? Be cautious

A quote that doesn’t separate labour and materials, or doesn’t specify the VAT rate, is a warning sign. Our partner contractors commit to providing clear, detailed quotes that comply with Luxembourg legal requirements.

3% VAT: up to €7,000 savings on your renovation

In Luxembourg, renovation work on a property used as a primary residence benefits from a super-reduced VAT rate of 3% (instead of the standard 17%). This is one of the most advantageous and simplest tax benefits available.

Work amountVAT at 17% (standard)VAT at 3% (reduced)Savings
€20,000€3,400€600€2,800
€50,000€8,500€1,500€7,000
€100,000€17,000€3,000€14,000

Amounts excl. VAT. Tax benefit capped at €50,000 per property. Source: guichet.public.lu — 2026.

Conditions for 3% VAT eligibility

1

Primary residence

The property must be used as a primary residence — either by the owner or by a tenant (for renovation work only).

2

Prior approval from AED

The contractor must apply for approval from the Tax Administration before work begins. Without approval, VAT will be charged at 17% (refund possible afterwards).

3

€50,000 tax benefit cap

The difference between 17% and 3% VAT cannot exceed €50,000 per property, equivalent to approximately €357,000 of work excl. VAT. More than enough for most renovations.

4

Minimum 2-year allocation

The property must remain allocated as a primary residence for 2 years after the work is completed, or the tax benefit must be repaid.

💡 Our contractors handle 3% VAT for you

Our partner contractors take care of the AED approval application. In most cases, the 3% VAT is applied directly on the invoice — you don’t need to advance anything.

How to reduce renovation costs in Luxembourg

1

Activate 3% VAT

This is the most significant and immediate saving. On €50,000 of work, you save €7,000. It’s automatic if your contractor applies for AED approval.

2

Compare multiple quotes

In renovation, prices can double for the same work. Comparing 2 to 3 quotes helps you identify the best value. This is exactly what we offer at Renov.lu.

3

Adjust material quality

Standard tiles at €30/m² or premium at €90/m²? Choosing one tier lower in finishes can reduce the budget by 20 to 30% without sacrificing durability.

4

Do some work yourself

Painting, floating floor installation, simple furniture assembly… Taking on the simplest tasks can save 10 to 20% of the total budget. Leave plumbing and electrics to the professionals, though.

5

Combine with energy renovation

If you also plan to improve insulation or replace your heating, you can combine 3% VAT with Klimabonus grants (up to €14,000) and Enoprimes. See heat pump grants.
