Why most renovations go over budget

Not bad trades. Not bad luck.
No document.

Every trade on your renovation is pricing their version of your job. Without a Scope of Works, that version and your version are almost never the same. This is where the money goes.

πŸ“‹

The assumption gap

Trades quote what they think you mean. You mean something different. Nobody finds out until the work is done and you are negotiating from the weakest position possible.

πŸ’Έ

The variation invoice

Work that was always part of the job suddenly becomes an extra. Without a scope that defines the original agreement, you have no ground to stand on. You pay it or you fight.

πŸ”

The selection change

A fixture changes after ordering. A finish gets substituted without approval. Vague selections give trades room to make decisions you should have made in writing before anyone quoted.

Inside the Toolkit

Three tools. Every conversation with a trade, protected.

Scope It Right Toolkit β€” Smart Renovators Academy
1

Mini Scope of Works

The document every trade prices from. Brief every trade from the same scope and compare quotes like for like for the first time.

2

FF&E Selections Schedule

Lock every fixture, fitting and finish before any trade orders or prices. Vague selections become variations. This stops that happening.

3

Quote Comparison Tool

Put every quote side by side. See exactly what each trade has and has not included. The cheapest quote is almost never the cheapest renovation.

"Good trades respect a homeowner who arrives with a clear scope. It tells them you know what you are doing. The trades who resist it are telling you exactly why you needed it in the first place."

"I am not quoting yet."
That is exactly when to get it. The scope has to exist before any trade quotes. Fill it in first, then call the trades. That is the order that protects you.
"My builder handles all of this."
Your builder produces documentation that protects them. A scope you own and control protects you. Those are not the same document. You need both.
"Can I find a free template online?"
You can find a generic template. You cannot find one built from 20+ years of Australian construction site experience, with the FF&E schedule and quote comparison tool included alongside it.
"Will trades take it seriously?"
Good trades respect a homeowner who arrives with a scope. It tells them you know what you are doing. The ones who resist it are telling you something important about whether you want them on your build.

On a $50,000 renovation, homeowners without a scope pay between $5,000 and $15,000 more than those who have one. The Scope It Right Toolkit is $27.
