UK Renovation & Extension Planner | Hunter Ellis Professional Property Tools

Created by Mark Tutton — a practising building surveyor and architectural designer. Postgraduate study: MSc Building Surveying, Northumbria University — final overall award pending. Technical background also includes BSc (Hons) Architectural Design & Technology, MRPSA and ACABE. The Hunter Ellis UK Renovation & Extension Planner controls scope, approvals, quotations, variations, decisions and handover evidence around the information gaps that create real project cost and delay.

HOW TO USE IT

Set the project brief and scope version first, confirm responsibilities and approval routes with the appropriate advisers, then use consistent references across quotations, decisions, variations, photographs, certificates and handover information.

FORMAT AND COMPATIBILITY

Digital download only; no physical item is supplied. The customer ZIP contains printable A4 and fillable PDF files, an editable .xlsx workbook, instructions, licence and manifest. Fillable behaviour varies by PDF app: test, save, close and reopen a short entry before relying on it. Spreadsheet formula cells are protected; the designated working cells remain editable. The workbook totals figures you enter but does not validate whether a quotation, valuation or approval route is correct. The PDFs are not represented as fully tagged accessible PDFs. Storefront examples use fictional details; customer working files are supplied blank.

IMPORTANT PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARY

These resources are organisational and educational aids. They do not themselves inspect, diagnose, value, design, certify, approve or provide legal, engineering, electrical, gas, fire-safety or other specialist advice. Obtain appropriately qualified property-specific advice before financial, legal or safety decisions.

This planner does not administer a building contract, instruct contractors, certify work, manage the project or manage site safety.

Hunter Ellis does not claim endorsement by RICS, RPSA, CABE or another professional body through these products. Education, qualifications and memberships identify the technical background of the author rather than third-party approval of the products.
