01PLANNING GUIDE
Most renovation budgets fail not because the quote was wrong but because the plan around it was. A budget built on priorities, realistic allowances and a contingency survives the surprises every renovation brings.
Next step
Get matched with contractors for itemised quotes you can plan around.
Request a project estimateOr message us on WhatsAppList what you want, then rank it: what must happen, what you would like, and what can wait. If quotes come in high, you cut from the bottom of the list rather than reducing quality across everything. Our cost guide gives starting figures for each project type to sense-check early ideas.
Beyond the contractor's price, budgets need room for design fees, approvals and deposits, items you supply yourself such as appliances or light fittings, furniture, temporary accommodation if you move out, and cleaning at the end.
Older properties hide problems behind walls, and owners change their minds. A contingency set aside from the start, and spent only on genuine surprises, keeps the project moving when something unexpected appears.
