Construction and renovation in Vake and Saburtalo
stroydom.ge works in Vake and Saburtalo mostly on reconstruction, not new builds. Company base rates for new construction are 500–700 ₾/m² for the shell, 850–1,100 ₾/m² ready for finishing and 1,250–1,550 ₾/m² full cycle. Here the price depends on the state of slabs and foundations, so work starts with a survey and the estimate is fixed in the contract.
Vake and Saburtalo are established Tbilisi districts where empty plots for a new house are all but gone. The real demand here is different: renovating an existing house, adding a floor or attic, reinforcing the slabs of older buildings. The work happens inside dense urban fabric, not on an open site, and involves load-bearing structures, neighbours and approvals. We take on such projects end to end: survey, design, structural calculations, engineering and finishing.
What does stroydom.ge account for when building in Vake and Saburtalo?
Older building stock and load-bearing structures
A large share of the housing here dates from the Soviet period and earlier. Before design we run a survey: which walls carry load and which are partitions, what condition the slabs are in, whether there are hidden deformations. Without this, a layout change becomes a gamble.
Dense streets and site access
Narrow streets, enclosed courtyards and sloping terrain limit access for a concrete pump and waste removal. We work out logistics and the concrete delivery method before we start. Otherwise, the stage stalls and the schedule slips.
Neighbours and working hours
In an occupied building, noisy work is limited by time, while vibration and dust are a source of conflict. We agree the schedule, seal the waste removal route and carry out demolition without impact loads on shared structures.
Approvals and legalisation
Adding a floor, changing the façade or altering load-bearing elements requires formal documentation. We prepare the structural calculation and support the approval process so the property does not complicate a future sale.
What work does stroydom.ge do in Vake and Saburtalo?
Full cycle or a single stage, turnkey and with responsibility for budget and deadlines.
| Stage | Price, ₾/m² | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Shell | 500–700 | Foundation, concrete structure, masonry and roof — no windows, no engineering, no finishes. Chosen when the finish is planned later or done in-house. |
| Ready for finishing | 850–1,100 | Shell plus the full engineering and rough-works package. The house can be mothballed for any length of time and finished once the interior design is ready. |
| Full cycle | 1,250–1,550 | From foundation to the handover of keys: engineering, finishing, final materials and cleaning. The most predictable option on timing — there is no downtime between contractors. |
The rates cover standard conditions. For a site in Vake and Saburtalo stroydom.ge prepares the estimate after an engineer visits the plot and fixes it in the contract.

FAQ — Vake and Saburtalo
Can I build a house from scratch in Vake or Saburtalo?
Vacant plots for a new house are almost gone in these districts, and those that appear usually involve demolishing an older building. The more common request is different: renovate an existing house, add a floor, or rebuild it entirely within the existing footprint. We take on such projects end to end.
Can a floor be added to an existing house?
Technically yes, but only after a survey: the load-bearing capacity of the foundation and walls is recalculated for the new load. Sometimes foundation reinforcement or slab replacement is required. We first issue a conclusion that the house can take it, and only then design the extension.
How do you work so I don't fall out with my neighbours?
We agree the schedule for noisy work, remove waste along a sealed route, carry out demolition without impact loads on shared structures and stay in touch with the building manager. In the dense fabric of Vake and Saburtalo, relations with neighbours are part of the project.
Do I need approval to change a house layout?
If load-bearing walls, the façade or shared utilities are affected, then yes, a structural calculation and formal paperwork are required. Moving non-load-bearing partitions is usually simpler. The exact answer depends on the specific building and the scope of changes.
How much does renovating a house in Vake cost?
The price depends heavily on the condition of the structures: reinforcing foundations and replacing slabs costs many times more than finishing work. That is why we only quote after a survey: a preliminary per-square-metre figure here is almost always understated.
