About Smekalka: plan your renovation and avoid overpaying

Smekalka helps you plan an apartment or house renovation and calculate materials accurately. No guessing with a tape measure, no paper drawings, and no more “how much should I buy?”.

We are an independent platform across Belarus: we help protect your budget, plan the work, and find trusted tradespeople. We do not sell building materials and we do not take hidden kickbacks from contractors.

What is in the app

One account for material calculations and money control on your renovation.

  • Planners

    Tile and laminate layout, yard planning from a photo, fence calculator, and more — a plan and shopping list before you go to the store.

  • Projects and expenses

    Track your flat, dacha, or work stage separately. Every payment in Belarusian rubles, with receipts and notes.

  • Dashboard statistics

    See how much you have spent, what is left of the budget, how costs changed month by month, and which categories are largest.

  • Analytics

    A summary for the project you choose: budget, expense tracking, and clear charts — all in one place.

Why Smekalka, not a chat spreadsheet

On site it is easy to overpay for extra “allowance” in an estimate or adhesive bags rounded up in the contractor’s favour. Smekalka shows numbers based on your measurements in advance.

  • Accurate counts, not “roughly”

    Chatbots produce neat tables but do not know your wall sizes and openings. Smekalka calculates from your plan.

  • A shopping list before the store

    Whole tile boxes and adhesive bags — no buying by guesswork and no extra “just in case” stock.

  • No complex software or courses

    No AutoCAD and no weeks of training. Plan, layout, and estimate in the browser — including on your phone on site.

Who is behind the project?

Platform founder:
Аль-Хатиб А. Ф.

I did not build Smekalka in an office — I built it on a real construction site in Stolbtsy. I designed and built a two-storey cottage myself and dealt with contractors, suppliers, and finishers firsthand.

I saw on my own wallet how extra percentages get added to material lines and how adhesive bags get rounded up in the contractor’s favour. That is when I decided to build a tool that keeps the numbers under control.

I turned a homeowner’s experience into a simple service: material calculations, expense tracking, and master checks in the directory. Everything that helped me stay within budget on my build now works for yours.

Development background

The platform was created by a developer with years of project work for companies in Europe. The focus is a clear interface, keeping your data safe, and working on an ordinary smartphone.
