FAQ
Do I need advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills to use this?
Not at all! I build these tools with the "User-First" principle. You only need to enter your raw data (costs and estimates) into the designated white cells. All the math, formulas, and dashboard visualizations are locked and automated so you can’t accidentally break them.
Can I use this spreadsheet on my phone or tablet while at the job site?
Yes! If you choose the Google Sheets version, you can download the free app and update your material costs or labor hours directly from the field. Everything will sync instantly with your office computer.
Can I customize the categories (e.g., Plumbing, Electrical, Framing)?
Absolutely. I understand that a residential remodel is different from a commercial build. I set up the spreadsheet so you can easily modify the trade categories to match your specific project's "Scope of Work.
Does this spreadsheet track "Change Orders"?
Yes. This is a core feature. There is a dedicated section to log every change order, ensuring that any work performed outside the original contract is tracked and factored into your final profit margin.
