The Renovators Budget Spreadsheet
Take control of your renovation finances with the same budgeting system used in professional design and construction projects. This spreadsheet helps you plan confidently, stay on budget, and avoid financial surprises. From the very first idea through to the final installation.
Whether you're testing project feasibility or deep in construction, this tool gives you complete visibility over your numbers so you always know where you stand.
Inside this digital download, you’ll find:
A fully-structured master budget designed for renovators:
Create your preliminary budget and understand project feasibility
Update actual costs as you go to stay aligned with real spending
Built-in contingency calculations so you can plan responsibly
Automatic graphs and tables to compare budget vs actual costs
Two bonus tracking tools to support your project:
Variation Tracker to record changes, upgrades and unexpected costs
Expense Tracker for every purchase — from appliances and tapware to that cutlery set you ordered months ago (No more forgotten orders or mystery credit card charges)
Designed to help you:
Set a realistic renovation budget
Avoid cost blowouts and financial stress
Track spending in one clear, central place
Understand where your money is going and why
Stay organised across long projects (6 months to 2 years)
Make confident decisions backed by real numbers
Includes a step-by-step how-to guide so you can get set up quickly and start planning like a pro.
Perfect for:
✔ Renovators planning their project
✔ Homeowners wanting transparency and control
✔ Anyone working with a builder and managing selections
✔ DIY renovators and owner-builders
This system was originally created for my own home build and has been refined through real client projects. It’s renovation-ready, new-build friendly, and designed to bring clarity, calm and confidence to your budgeting process.
Plan smarter, spend wiser and stay in control from start to finish.
