Nothing in here yet. Three ways to start.
- Pick a roadmap. The stages of a loft conversion, an extension or a whole-house renovation, in the order they happen, with what has to be settled before each one.
- Set the house up. What it is, what has been done to it, and what is due next. It outlasts any one project.
- Build an estimate. Pick the work from our cost index and set the quantities, and you have a range before you speak to anybody.
Or just read. Every note has a Save button, and what you save turns up here.
Set up your projectedit
Everyone you are considering, with the numbers you will need when you chase them. Shortlist buttons on the renovation map drop firms in here; add anyone else yourself.

Build the estimate from our cost index, then set the quantity against each line. The range is what the work typically costs, not a quote.

Put each quote in as it arrives. The comparison line shows how they sit against your estimate, so an outlier is obvious.

The order of works, with the weeks against each phase. Rough is fine; it is there to show what has to happen before what.

Stage payments
Put the contract sum in and we will spread it across the phases above, weighted by the weeks against each. Never pay ahead of the work: a stage payment is for work already done and on site.
Everything still wrong at the end of the job, room by room. Keep it open until it is genuinely done, and hand it over in writing.

Planning checks you kept, from the area checker.
The order a job actually runs in, with what has to be true before each stage starts. Tick a stage off when you have cleared it.
Which of these are you doing?
You can change this later, and ticking stages off is the only thing that gets saved.
The house, as opposed to the job being done to it. What it is, what has been done to it, and what is due next. It outlives any one project, so it is worth keeping straight.

Reminders
Periodic upkeep, with the interval in months. Put the last date in and the next one works itself out.

The record
What has been done to the house and who did it: certificates, guarantees, approvals, and the works themselves. We do not hold your documents, only the fact that they exist and where they are.
