🗂️ 15 FULLY BUILT SHEETS — YOUR ENTIRE PROJECT IN ONE FILE
🏠 Dashboard — Your renovation command center. Six live KPI cards display your total budget, amount spent, remaining funds, active contractors, task completion rate, and pending orders — all updating automatically. Fourteen clickable navigation tiles take you directly to any sheet in seconds.
📋 Project Overview — A bird's-eye view of your entire remodel. Ten project areas with phase tracking (Planning → Permitting → Construction → Finishing), start dates, estimated end dates, budgets, and status. Includes a bar chart showing budget allocation by project area at a glance.
💰 Remodel Budget Tracker — The financial backbone of your project. Twenty line items covering every cost: labor by trade, materials by room, and specialty work. Tracks budgeted vs. actual with variance calculation, over/under percentage, and payment status. A clustered bar chart compares budget vs. actual for each major area so you can see exactly where your money went.
📅 Project Timeline (Gantt Chart) — A full 12-month visual Gantt chart covering 20 project phases from permits through final inspection. Each phase shows owner, start date, and status — color-coded: ✅ Done in green, 🔄 Active in blue, ⏳ Upcoming in yellow. Your entire construction sequence on one page.
👷 Contractor Tracker — Manage up to 15+ contractors with trade type, phone, license number, contract amount, amount paid to date, status, start date, and a 1–5 star rating system. Know exactly who is on your job, what they're owed, and how they've performed.
🛒 Materials & Supplies — Track every material purchase: item name, category, quantity, unit cost, total cost, supplier, and delivery status. Status-coded rows: ✅ Purchased in green, ⏳ Ordered in blue, 📋 Planned in yellow. Never lose track of what's been bought vs. what still needs to be ordered.
🎨 Design & Inspiration Board — Capture your complete design vision room by room: style direction, color palette, materials, inspiration source (Pinterest, Houzz, magazine), and approval status. Pre-filled with a Modern Farmhouse + Spa-Inspired theme to show you exactly how to use it.
🏗️ Room-by-Room Planner — Twelve rooms with individual sq footage, full scope of work, start/end dates, budget, amount spent, status, and priority. Totals roll up automatically. A clustered bar chart shows budget vs. spent side-by-side for every room so you always know which spaces are on track.
📸 Before & After Photo Log — Document your transformation systematically. Capture before descriptions, after descriptions, and photo status for every room and area. A pie chart tracks your overall project completion across Done / In Progress / Upcoming phases.
🔑 Permits & Approvals — Track every building permit, trade permit, variance, and HOA approval: jurisdiction, application date, fee paid, permit number, assigned inspector, inspection date, and status. Never miss a critical compliance deadline or fail an inspection due to poor tracking.
💳 Payment Tracker — A complete financial ledger of every payment made to every contractor and vendor. 25+ payment records with date, amount, invoice number, status, and payment method. Running totals for paid, outstanding, and overdue amounts — your audit trail for tax time and dispute resolution.
🛋️ Interior Design Selections — Log every design decision in one place: paint colors, lighting fixtures, cabinet hardware, flooring, tile, plumbing fixtures, and furniture. Tracks brand, model, color/finish, price, where to buy, and final approval status. No more digging through emails to remember which faucet you ordered.
📦 Orders & Deliveries — Never miss a delivery again. Track 19+ orders with supplier, order date, total, estimated arrival, tracking number, delivery status, and storage location. Status-coded: ✅ Delivered in green, 🚛 In Transit in blue, ⏳ Pending in yellow.
🔧 Punch List — The final stretch. Track every issue, defect, and incomplete task with room, priority level, status, responsible contractor, due date, and resolution notes. Pre-filled with 28 real punch list items across kitchen, bathrooms, living room, deck, and basement so you know exactly what to look for.
⚙️ Settings — Customizable dropdown lists for status, room names, trade types, and priorities. Includes a full project details block and 12 contractor pro tips built directly into the sheet.
