For refurbishment works

Refurbishments that stay on the appraisal

A refurbishment goes wrong slowly: a variation here, a week of weather there, and a contractor invoice nobody compared with the original number.

Where a refurb drifts

  • The budget in the appraisal is never compared with what is actually spent.
  • Progress is whatever the contractor said on the phone on Friday.
  • Snagging arrives as a photo in a message thread.
  • Two similar projects teach you nothing because neither was recorded properly.

What it does for you

Deal

The appraisal stays attached, so the works budget has something to be measured against.

Deliver

A works programme, contractors, costs, tasks and snagging on the same property.

Hold or exit

A finished record of what the job actually cost, ready for the refinance or the sale.

How it works

  1. 1Set the works programme against the appraisal figures.
  2. 2Assign contractors and tasks with dates.
  3. 3Record costs as they land and compare with budget.
  4. 4Run snagging to completion with evidence attached.
  5. 5Close the project with a real cost history.

Cost against budget, not cost in isolation

Because the appraisal and the works live in the same place, an overspend is visible as a variance while the trades are still on site.

The record outlives the project

When the next similar refurbishment comes along, the previous one is a reference rather than a vague memory.

Where it is not the right tool

This is developer-side management. It is not a site-diary app for a main contractor running dozens of concurrent builds.
