More about Home Renovation Checklist

The Home Renovation Command Center fixes that in one HTML file. Open it in Chrome, type in your scope, and watch a complete renovation operating system come to life: a budget variance tracker that shows you the leak the week it starts, a vendor CRM that keeps every trade in one row, a decision log that captures every finish, and the feature no spreadsheet has, a Change Order Ledger that builds a contract paper trail you can show in arbitration.

Every keystroke autosaves to your browser. Close the tab, reopen tomorrow, your project is exactly where you left it. Export a JSON backup any time you want to keep a copy or hand it to your spouse.

★ EXCLUSIVE ZONE

The Change Order Ledger is built into Tab 5 and is the reason this product exists. Every scope change goes in with the contractor name, the cost delta, the date approved, and a one-line scope note. The ledger rolls everything into a live budget-variance percentage and shows you exactly which change broke the budget. When the final invoice arrives, you have the receipts.

WHAT’S INSIDE (5 tabs)

1. Overview, your weekly dashboard. Total spent, budget remaining, vendors active, days on site, plus a 90-day reno game plan.

2. Budget, line-by-line cost tracker. Categories (Demo, Framing, Mechanicals, Finishes, Fixtures, Permits, Soft Costs), bid vs actual, room-by-room rollup.

3. Vendor CRM, the contact tracker. GCs, subs, designers, suppliers, with COI status, next-payment date, and one-line notes.

4. Decision Log, the finish board. Tile, paint, hardware, lighting, appliances, with photo notes, vendor source, and final-pick lock.

5. Change Order Ledger ★, the paper trail. Every scope change with cost delta, signed date, and a running variance percentage.
