- Built from a real $175,000 remodel, not theory

What this helps you avoid
- •Starting demo before you know the all-in number, then running dry at the finishes.
- •Forgetting whole categories like permits, dumpsters, or temporary housing.
- •Treating contingency as optional instead of planning for it on day one.
Who this is for
- Homeowners planning a full-house or multi-room remodel.
- Anyone pricing a project before they talk to a lender or contractor.
Who this is not for
- —Single-room projects — the Kitchen or Bathroom sheet is a better fit.
- —People who already have a detailed builder's budget.
Questions
Is this for one room or the whole house?
The whole house — every major category in one place. For a single room, grab the Kitchen or Bathroom sheet instead.
Where do the numbers come from?
The structure is built from a real $175,000 owner-managed remodel; you fill in your own local prices.
Can I hand it to a lender?
Yes — it's a clean category breakdown a lender or contractor can read at a glance.
Want this done for you, automatically?
GC In My Pocket is the app version: AI bid checks against current local prices, receipt capture from your phone, budget tracking, and scheduling — for homeowners running their own remodel.
