PRACTICAL PLANNING FOR BUILDERS

Define the work.
Build a clearer estimate.

Turn a whole-property brief into a structured estimate. Use RenoTally to explore the overall budget, then separate your own measured scope, labour, materials and exclusions before issuing a quotation.

Tools for this work

Planning estimates, not contractor quotations

House renovation

For a cosmetic refresh or moderate renovation.

House refurbishment

For a full refurbishment or back-to-brick project.

Loft & extension

For a relevant loft or extension planning scenario.

Know the limits. These tools provide planning ranges. They do not inspect the property, produce a bill of quantities or replace your own quotation.

Practical guidance

Define the work before preparing your professional quotation.

Define the work package

Record the property, rooms, measured areas and condition. Separate a cosmetic refresh, a moderate renovation and a full refurbishment rather than comparing unlike scopes.

Separate allowances from quotations

Identify provisional items, specialist trades and work that needs a site inspection. State whether VAT, disposal, access, making good and contingency are included.

Make changes traceable

Keep the original scope and record each requested change, its cost and any effect on the programme. A planning estimate is not a fixed-price offer.

Use our building quote template to record the agreed scope, itemised costs, exclusions and later changes.
