Why these are different
Most renovation planners sold online are formatting exercises. These files are built on quantity surveying practice — measurement, valuation, change control — by someone who has run projects where getting the cost plan wrong has consequences.
The structure of these files comes from running commercial construction projects: cost plans, valuations, variation registers, programme. The same controls, scaled to a house purchase or a domestic refurbishment.
Contingency, provisional sums, retention and variations are handled properly, so the number on the summary sheet is one you can hold a conversation about with a builder, agent or solicitor.
