An apartment in a new building gives the owner an opportunity to arrange the space practically from scratch. At the same time, this is precisely when the main question arises: which finishing format should be chosen to achieve the desired result without spending the budget on solutions that are not actually needed? The answer depends not only on the size of the premises or the desired style. The scope of the package, the number of included works, the level of materials and the range of equipment are also important.
RSU offers several turnkey apartment finishing formats that differ in their scope. They can roughly be arranged from the “Comfortable” package to “Renomania +”. The differences between them include electrical and plumbing specifications, wall and flooring materials, doors, ceilings, as well as the number of elements already included in the overall package.
That is why it is not worth comparing packages only by their names or general price level. It is much more useful to look at exactly what the apartment owner receives at each level.
Why Package Selection Matters Before Finishing Even Begins
During the finishing of a new-build apartment, it is easy to focus on the visible part of the future interior: wall colors, tiles, flooring or interior doors. However, a finished apartment involves much more than that. The electrical network, plumbing points, lighting, ceiling, air conditioning and other elements determine everyday convenience when using the space.
That is why the package approach has a practical advantage. The owner knows in advance what level of finishing is included in the offer and which items are already provided. There is no need to treat the finishing process as an endless list of separate purchases and works.
At the same time, the difference between packages is not always obvious at first glance. For example, two options may include the same number of plumbing points but different levels of plumbing materials. Or the same final surface finish may be combined with a different number of electrical points.
Therefore, all key categories should be compared before making a choice.

“Comfortable”: A Basic Format for Those Who Need a Practical Solution
The “Comfortable” package is aimed at a basic level of apartment furnishing. It includes a basic design project, painting works, basic plumbing fixtures and factory-made ArtDor interior doors from the ArtLine collection.
Special attention should be paid to the electrical system. The package provides 0.7 points per square meter. Seven plumbing points are included in the plumbing section. The package also includes electrical devices.
The walls in this option are finished with basic wallpaper, with a choice from five catalogues. Class 31–32 laminate is provided for the flooring, while the ceiling is made as a smooth stretch ceiling.
This format can be considered an entry-level option for an owner who wants a ready-made foundation without a large amount of additional equipment. Some items that are not included in the package can be planned separately depending on individual needs.
The stated timeline is 80 working days, and the warranty is two years. Even at this level, the owner receives a comprehensive range of works rather than separate services from different contractors.
“Renomania min”: More Options in Key Categories
The next level noticeably changes several important parameters. The number of electrical points increases to one per square meter, while the number of plumbing points rises to nine.
The approach to finishing also changes. Instead of basic wallpaper from five catalogues, the package includes optimal wallpaper with a choice from more than 50 catalogues. This provides significantly more freedom when creating the interior.
The 60×60 tiles in this package are of European origin, while the flooring is represented by class 32–33 laminate. The ceiling includes a stretch construction with a curtain recess and lighting.
Another noticeable change concerns the doors. In addition to factory-made ArtDor doors, concealed-installation doors are provided.
At the same time, the package remains fairly restrained in terms of additional equipment. The boiler, shower enclosure glazing, LED mirror, air conditioning, kitchen and other similar items remain outside the package or are defined as customer’s items.
The warranty increases to three years, while the stated timeline remains 80 working days.
“Renomania opt”: A Balance Between Finishing and Apartment Readiness
The optimal package deserves separate consideration because it changes not only the level of basic materials but also the number of ready-made elements in the apartment.
In terms of the main electrical specifications, it corresponds to the minimum package: one point per square meter. There are also nine plumbing points. At the same time, the plumbing fixtures are at an optimal level.
The wallpaper remains in the optimal category, with a choice from more than 50 catalogues. The 60×60 tiles are European, while the laminate is class 32–33. The ceiling includes a curtain recess and lighting.
However, the main difference begins when it comes to equipment.
The package already includes a basic boiler, shower enclosure glazing, a towel warmer, an LED mirror and a basic air conditioner. It also includes a kitchen, kitchen sink with a mixer tap and curtains.
In other words, the owner is no longer comparing simply different options for wall or flooring finishes. They receive a broader range of ready-made solutions for everyday use of the apartment.
That is why the optimal format should be evaluated in terms of the balance between the level of materials and the amount of included equipment.
“Renomania max”: When Furniture and Appliances Are Added to the Finishing
The maximum package largely repeats the characteristics of the optimal option in terms of basic finishing materials. It also includes optimal wallpaper, European 60×60 tiles, class 32–33 laminate, optimal plumbing fixtures and a stretch ceiling with a curtain recess and lighting.
The difference becomes especially noticeable in the scope of the package.
In this option, furniture and appliances are added to the list. The package also retains the additional equipment provided by the optimal option: kitchen, kitchen sink with a mixer tap, curtains, basic air conditioner, LED mirror, towel warmer, shower enclosure glazing and basic boiler.
Therefore, the maximum format may be of interest to an owner who wants to minimize the number of separate purchases after the main works are completed.
From an organizational perspective, the difference is significant. When furniture and appliances are included in the package, they can be taken into account while the overall concept of the apartment is still being developed. There is no need to complete the finishing first and then select equipment separately for an already finished space.
“Renomania +”: A Different Level of Materials and Design
“Renomania +” is at the highest level among the formats presented. Here, not only the scope of equipment changes, but also the overall approach to design and finishing.
Instead of a basic design project, the package includes a design project with 3D visualizations. For the apartment owner, this provides an opportunity to see the future space in advance and evaluate the interior composition before implementation.
The electrical installation also has a different scale — two points per square meter. Nine plumbing points are provided, while the plumbing fixtures move to the premium level.
For the walls, two options are available: painting or premium wallpaper. The tiling category includes premium 120×60 tiles. For the flooring, parquet board or vinyl can be selected.
The ceiling also includes additional elements. In addition to the stretch construction, curtain recess and lighting, shadow gaps are provided.
Premium concealed-installation doors and premium air conditioning also stand out separately.
This package is intended for situations where the apartment owner is interested not only in completing the finishing works but also in a higher level of materials, design and individual solutions.
Does a More Expensive Package Automatically Mean a Better Result?
When comparing packages, it is easy to fall into the trap of a simple principle: the higher the level, the better. In practice, the choice depends on what a particular apartment actually needs.
If the owner is satisfied with basic finishing, there is no need to pay for solutions they will not use. If, however, the apartment is intended to become a fully ready space with furniture, appliances and additional equipment, the minimum package may require a significantly larger number of separate solutions after the works are completed.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to compare the final result rather than the names.
For example, the difference between “Comfortable” and “Renomania min” can be seen in the number of electrical and plumbing points, the level of wallpaper, tiles, laminate, ceiling and doors.
Between “Renomania opt” and “Renomania max”, the basic finishing is largely similar, but the maximum package is supplemented with furniture and appliances.
“Renomania +” already follows a different concept: premium materials, an enhanced design solution, 3D visualizations, an increased number of electrical points, a different ceiling format, premium plumbing fixtures, larger-format tiles, parquet board or vinyl.
What to Consider When Choosing a Package for a New-Build Apartment
Before making the final decision, it is worth determining your own priorities. For some owners, functionality will be the main concern. Others will value the maximum number of ready-made elements. For a third group, materials and design will be decisive.
The first place to start is the electrical system. The number of points directly affects the future arrangement of lighting, household appliances and other devices. This parameter is particularly important in a new-build apartment, where the entire system is created practically from scratch.
Next, the plumbing should be assessed. Nine points instead of seven may matter depending on the layout and the number of sanitary areas.
The next block is materials. Tiles, wallpaper and flooring cover a significant area, so their level affects the appearance of the apartment for many years.
After that, it is worth looking at the equipment. An air conditioner, boiler, kitchen, curtains, mirror, towel warmer, furniture and appliances are all separate components of a finished home. If they are already included in the package, it is easier for the owner to assess the overall scale of future expenses.
Finally, the design project should be considered. For a basic solution, one level of development may be sufficient, while 3D visualizations provide a broader understanding of the future space.
What to Choose If You Need Basic Finishing Without Anything Extra
In this case, it makes sense to consider “Comfortable” or “Renomania min”.
The first option has a basic scope and allows the owner to create functional housing without a large number of additional items. The second already offers a higher level of selected materials, more electrical and plumbing points, a wider choice of wallpaper, European tiles and class 32–33 laminate.
The choice between them will depend on how important the level of materials is and how willing the owner is to arrange additional equipment independently.
When It Is Worth Considering the Optimal Package
“Renomania opt” may be suitable for an owner who wants a more complete space without moving to the maximum level of equipment.
It already includes a kitchen, curtains, basic air conditioner, boiler, LED mirror, towel warmer and shower enclosure glazing. At the same time, the main finishing materials are at an optimal level.
In practice, the owner receives a balance between materials and equipment. That is why this package should be assessed not by one parameter but by the entire set of included items.
Who May Benefit from the Maximum Option
“Renomania max” is worth considering when it is important to receive an apartment with the broadest possible range of ready-made elements within this level.
Furniture and appliances are added to the already included package. At the same time, the main materials remain at an optimal level, so the transition from the optimal package to the maximum one is primarily associated with expanding the ready-to-use equipment of the apartment.
For the owner, this can mean fewer separate organizational issues after the main works are completed.
When Choosing “Renomania +” Makes Sense
The highest package is worth considering for owners who value a higher level of materials and detailed design.
Here, the offer includes premium plumbing fixtures, premium 120×60 tiles, parquet board or vinyl, premium concealed-installation doors, a premium air conditioner and 3D visualizations.
The ceiling, approach to wall finishing and number of electrical points also change. The owner receives a broader range of options for creating an interior based on the specific concept of the apartment.
At the same time, the implementation period is longer — up to 120 working days according to the package terms. For such a level of equipment, it makes sense to take this into account when planning the move.
Why It Is Important to Consider Finishing as a Complete Process
Apartment finishing in a new building consists of a large number of interconnected decisions. A package cannot be fully evaluated based on a single parameter.
A greater number of electrical points makes sense if it corresponds to the future way the apartment will be used. Premium tiles matter if the owner wants a corresponding level of finishing. A kitchen or furniture included in the package is important for those who want to receive housing that is as ready for use as possible.
That is why the package model is convenient primarily because it makes it possible to compare different scenarios.
One owner may choose the basic level and add individual elements independently. Another may choose the optimal option in order to receive a kitchen, air conditioning and part of the equipment immediately. Another customer may want to include furniture and appliances or move to premium materials.
None of these approaches is universally correct. The right choice is the one that corresponds to the actual needs of the apartment and the owner’s budget.
Conclusion: Which Finishing Package to Choose in a New-Build Apartment
The choice of finishing for a new-build apartment should begin not with the question “which package is the most expensive or the cheapest?” but with the question “what kind of apartment do I want to have after the works are completed?”
“Comfortable” provides a basic configuration with basic materials and a minimum amount of additional equipment. “Renomania min” raises the level of key materials, increases the number of engineering points and expands the available options.
“Renomania opt” already covers significantly more elements for everyday use of the apartment: from a kitchen and curtains to air conditioning, an LED mirror and bathroom equipment. “Renomania max” adds furniture and appliances to this level.
“Renomania +” is aimed at a different scenario — premium materials, an enhanced design solution, 3D visualizations, more sophisticated finishing and premium equipment.
Such packages should be compared comprehensively. The price or name provides only a general idea, while the actual difference is determined by specific works, materials, engineering solutions and equipment. The more thoroughly the owner examines the package contents before the finishing begins, the easier it will be to understand which format corresponds to their apartment, expectations and future lifestyle.
For a new-build apartment, this is particularly important: most decisions are made before the finished interior even exists. Therefore, the choice of package determines not only the appearance of the apartment but also how fully it will be ready for living once the works are completed.
