How the Renovation Planner works, step by step

Four moments from real use.

Every week of the job

Where the money and the work are.

Spent against budget, what's finished and what's blocked.

Every invoice

A budget that survives contact with reality.

Quotes, actuals and the gap between them, per room and in total.

Room by room

Progress you can see.

Each room with its own budget, tasks and finish state.

Every quote

Contractors and their numbers, side by side.

Who quoted what, who's booked and who's been paid.

Three editions. The same renovation.

The app

One HTML file for any browser. The dashboard puts spent, committed and budget on one bar, with a contingency gauge that draws down as you approve change orders.

  • 8 working sections, plus Help and Settings
  • Side-by-side quote comparison and a change-order log
  • Six currencies, light and dark mode

Pick this if you want to run the project day to day.

The workbook

A real .xlsx where spend rolls up from budget lines into rooms and categories. Quotes are priced against the lowest bid, and days-to-go counts from today's date. Made for Excel and Google Sheets; it also opens in Apple Numbers, but some dropdowns and frozen headers don't carry over.

  • Eleven tabs, formulas already written
  • Native charts
  • A hosted Google Sheets template, copied in one click
Pick this if you'd rather work in a spreadsheet.

The printable pack

36 page designs for a pen and the site folder: budget ledgers, room pages, bids, change pages, the timeline, permits, inspections and the punch list.

  • Every design set for both A4 and US Letter, 72 pages in all
  • Print one half of the file ; the cover says which
  • Undated, so any page works in any month
Pick this if a pen and a page keeps you honest.

Two more files come with them. The Calm Renovation Method is a free 52-page book with twelve chapters and three worksheets. A Quick Start guide covers all three editions. Five files in total.

Renovation Planner FAQ

Does the Renovation Planner need a subscription?
No. You buy the file once on Etsy and it's yours. Nothing renews.
What sections does the Renovation Planner have?
8 main sections: Dashboard, Budget, Rooms, Contractors, Selections, Changes, Timeline, Punch list. Sample data is already in all of them.
Where is my data stored?
In your own browser, on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to us, because we have no server. Clearing your browser data clears the app, so keep a copy of anything you'd hate to lose.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once you have the file, you don't need to be online.
What devices does it work on?
Any device with a modern web browser: Windows, Mac, iPad, Android tablet, phone or Linux. There is nothing to install.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes, but nothing syncs. What you type on one device stays on that device.
How do I get the file after I buy it?
It's an instant digital download from Etsy. Once Etsy confirms payment, the file is in your Etsy Purchases, and you can download it again any time you're signed in.
What exactly do I get?
Five files: the app, the workbook (.xlsx for Excel and Google Sheets (it also opens in Apple Numbers, but some dropdowns and frozen headers don't carry over)), the printable pack (A4 and US Letter), the free 52-page book The Calm Renovation Method, and a Quick Start guide for all of them.
Do I need Excel for the workbook?
No. The download includes a hosted Google Sheets template: File → Make a copy.
Does it work in Apple Numbers?
Partly. The .xlsx opens in Apple Numbers, but some dropdowns and frozen headers don't carry over, so Excel or Google Sheets is recommended.
Which edition should I use?
The app for daily running of the project, the workbook if you live in spreadsheets, the printable pack for the site folder. All three follow the same method and come in the one download.

You've already used it. That was the demo.

The file you buy is the app above, without the sample data.
