Home Renovation Budget Planner Excel Spreadsheet Contractor Bid Tracker

Built for homeowners planning a renovation or remodel — one spreadsheet to track what you budgeted, what contractors quoted, what you actually spent and where the project stands, trade by trade.

What's inside the workbook:- Budget by Trade & Category — plan a budget for 13 renovation categories (demolition, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, painting, carpentry, permits, appliances, fixtures and contingency). The selected contractor bid and your actual expenses are pulled in automatically, and the difference is calculated for you — it turns red the moment you go over budget.- Contractor Bids Comparison — log every bid you collect, for any trade: contractor, contact, bid amount, timeframe, what's included or excluded, licensing/insurance and your notes. Mark one bid per trade as "Selected" and it flows straight into the budget.- Project Timeline & Schedule — planned vs. actual start and end dates per trade, with a status you pick from a drop-down (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed); rows shade themselves to match so delays stand out at a glance.- Total Cost Overview — set your overall project budget once and see total spent, remaining budget and percent used update automatically, plus a full breakdown by trade.- Instructions tab built right into the workbook.
