Renovation planner
Plan your renovation, job by job
Pick what you are taking on. We build the task list in the order the work actually happens, price each line, and link the jobs you can do yourself to the guide and the calculator you need.
How to use the planner
- 1
Pick the project closest to yours, then delete what you are not doing and add your own lines.
- 2
Mark each line DIY or trade. DIY lines link straight to the guide and the calculator for the quantities.
- 3
Log contractor quotes against the lines you are outsourcing, then compare them like for like.
Good to know: Figures are indicative ranges based on typical European supplier and trade pricing. Treat them as a starting point for your own quotes, not a fixed estimate.
