How it works

From the first quote to the final payment

A renovation moves through many hands and many documents. ReNovo keeps it as one connected thread, plan, budget, record, reconcile, so nothing is stranded and the final cost is never a surprise.

No credit card to start · a free plan is available.

The connected thread

Five stages, one unbroken line

Each stage hands off to the next inside the same workspace. A budget line becomes a cost, a cost gathers its payments and documents, and every figure traces back to where it came from.

  1. 1

    Plan the project

    Describe the property, then break it down by room and by trade. Start from a template for an apartment, a house or an office, and adjust the scope as it grows.

  2. 2

    Set the budget

    Give every room and category a planned figure, add a contingency for the unexpected, and approve the budget lines you intend to hold yourself to.

  3. 3

    Record costs and payments

    Log invoices, purchases and payments as they happen. Each one carries a status and a due date, and partial payments allocate cleanly against the right cost.

  4. 4

    Link every document

    Attach the quote, contract, invoice or warranty to the exact cost, room or contractor it explains, so the paper trail is always one click away.

  5. 5

    Watch the forecast

    The dashboard rolls it all up: approved budget, paid, still owed, and the forecast final cost, updated the moment anything changes.

Phase one · Plan and budget

Decide what the renovation should cost, before the spending starts

A plan you set on purpose is a plan you can hold to. Break the project down by room and trade, put a figure on every line, and keep a little back for the surprises every renovation brings.

  • Break the project down by room and by trade
  • Set a planned figure for every budget line
  • Add a contingency reserve for the unexpected
  • Approve the lines you want to be held to

Invoices and expenses

Every cost lands with a status, a due date and its supporting document. Overdue items surface on their own, you never go looking for them.

Payments and allocations

Record full and partial payments and split them across several costs at once, with no double counting and no accidental overpayment.

Purchases and deliveries

Follow orders from placed to delivered to installed. Know what has arrived but is not yet fitted, and what is still owed to each supplier.

Documents stay linked

Contracts, receipts and warranties stay pinned to the cost, room and contractor they belong to, nothing ever loses its link.

Phase two · Record and reconcile

Capture what really happens, and keep every link intact

This is where most projects lose the thread: an invoice in one place, a payment in another, a delivery note in a drawer. In ReNovo every record stays tied to the cost it belongs to, so reconciliation is something you read, not something you rebuild.

Split a single bank transfer across three invoices, mark a delivery as arrived but not yet installed, log a refund against the original expense, the numbers stay honest and nothing loses its link.
