How to Use It
The template has four cost buckets — the same four every renovation contains:
- Materials — use our Flooring Calculator and Paint Calculator to pre-fill these.
- Labour — enter the agreed quote amount from each contractor.
- Prep and disposal — strip-out, skip hire, levelling, rubbish removal.
- Contingency — auto-calculated at 15% of the above total.
💡 Fill in materials costs using our calculators first, then get contractor quotes for labour — you'll know immediately if a quote is unreasonable.
