Home Renovation Planner

About the Home Renovation Planner

Renovations run over budget when there is no plan — this Home Renovation Planner keeps yours on track. Set your total budget, break it down by room, and track estimated versus quoted versus actual spend so you always know exactly where your money is going and whether you are over or under. No nasty surprises halfway through the job.

Alongside the budget, a task list keeps every job organised by room and trade with due dates, and a contacts tab keeps your tradespeople, their quotes and booking status in one place. The dashboard shows your budget, spend, remaining funds, tasks done and spend by room, so the whole project stays calm and under control.

Built in Excel and Google Sheets with a soft, clear design and sample content, it works on any device. Perfect for anyone renovating a home, a room or a whole property. For pricing up building work, see our [Materials & Takeoff Estimator](#/product/materials-takeoff-estimator).
