Renovation Budget Tracker
$79.00


The Renovation Budget Tracker is a renovation budget template pre-loaded with over 200 items, from design fees and trades to tiles, tapware and furniture. It lets you plan your budget before you start, then track your real costs as quotes come in and you start paying. It totals everything for your whole renovation and for each room, so you always know where your budget stands.

What’s inside the tracker

You're never starting from a blank page. The items are grouped into 10 sections, each one a part of your renovation:

  • Planning and Site: design, approvals, demolition, skip bins and equipment hire

  • Builder, Trades and Materials

  • Cabinetry and Benchtops

  • Tiles and Flooring

  • Tapware, Sinks and Fittings

  • Electrical and Appliances

  • Windows, Doors and Blinds

  • Outdoor

  • Furniture

  • Other Costs

Every item has a place for your estimate while you plan, and your actual cost once you have a quote in writing or have paid. If the actual cost is higher than your estimate, it shows in red, so you see it the day the quote lands, not when the money's gone.

If a builder is quoting the whole job, their total goes in as one line, and you only add what isn't in their quote, like your appliances or furniture. Items you don't need stay empty.

Short notes beside some items point out the costs that are easy to forget.

A summary page adds it all up for you, by section, by room and in total, with your estimate and your actual cost side by side. Each item can be given a room, like the kitchen or ensuite, so you see what each room is costing you. Your contingency, the money you set aside for surprises, is added to your total at the percentage you choose. All amounts are entered including GST.

Who it's for

The tracker works for homeowners renovating or building, whether you're working with a builder or managing the trades yourself.

It's built for you if:

  • You don't know what your project will actually cost.

  • You've started planning, and costs feel like they're getting out of control.

  • You're juggling quotes and need one place to track everything.

I built this tracker for my own renovations and developments and I've used to keep every one of them on budget for around 20 years.

For typical figures, here’s what a renovation costs in Australia, and what to set aside in your renovation budget.

It works best in Excel on a computer. It also opens in Google Sheets and Apple Numbers, but some features may not work the same way.

 

Scandinavian ensuite bath with grey bathroom tiles and shower niche

“The incredible design duo Zephyr & Stone have recently completed two new projects and they are beyond stunning…. we wouldn’t expect anything less from these super sisters!

Known for their use of beautiful materials, attention to detail and use of only the finest fittings and fixtures, they have blown us away with the interior palettes of these prokects. Completing the look and giving both projects an extreme level of luxury they have opted to use Quantum Quartz in Alpine Matte for the countertops.

Following on from the popularity of Quantum Quartz’s Alpine White, there is now a brand new matter version entitled Alpine Matte. Alpine Matte has a subtle warm white tone and velvety smooth finish which offers design flexibility and works perfectly with all interior styles.

“In this project we wanted to showcase two classic styles which were both contemporary yet timeless. We used Quantum Quartz Alpine Matte on the kitchen countertop in the ‘Melbourne Luxe’ Townhouse, as well as in the ensuite, bathroom, powder room and laundry. We also used it in the ‘Scandi’ Townhouse, as well as in the ensuite, bathroom and laundry.” says Zephyr & Stone.

Matte finishes are very on trend in the design world right now, creating a sense of refined luxury due to their non flashy and pared back finishes. Quantum Quartz products are only the highest quality, they are extremely durable as well as being a very practical choice for your home. It is also a hygienic choice for your kitchen, bathroom and laundry and we love that it is backed by a 10 years limited warranty.

“Throughout both interior schemes we opted for honed and matte finishes where possible, therefor Alpine Matte was the obvious choice. The matte finish worked seamlessly with all out other matte finishes, including our honed tiles and matte basins. Like the original Quantum Quartz Alpine White, we found the Alpine Matte to be the perfect tone which worked well with all our finishes'“ says Zephyr & Stone.

Visit a WK Quantum Quartz showroom where you can comfortablt explore all of the stone options available. They have many popular varieties of natural stone as well as 40 varieties of Quantum Quartz (engineered stone) and 10 QuantumSix+ porcelain options. And have no fear, because at any given time WK Quantum Quartz holds an inventory exceeding 30,000 slabs of stone ensuring that an abundance of stone is always readily available for any project, large or small.
