Renovation Budget & Cost Overrun Tracker Excel — Category-by-Category Budget vs Actual with Auto Alerts

38% of homeowners experience renovation budget overruns averaging 12% — and most don't realize it's happening until it's too late to course-correct. This spreadsheet tracks budgeted vs. actual vs. committed spend across every renovation category (permits, demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, labor, and more), automatically flags any category as OK, Nearly Spent, or Over Budget with color coding, and rolls everything into a live project total so you always know exactly where you stand — before the overrun compounds into a real problem.
