Plot to handover. Six tools, one build.
SIX TOOLS
1. Feasibility & Plot Appraisal — does the plot stack up? Land, stamp duty,
build cost per m², fees and contingency against end value, with sensitivity
on the build cost.
2. Budget Tracker & VAT Reclaim Log — eight build stages, budget versus actual,
plus a full DIY Housebuilders VAT reclaim log and eligibility guide.
3. Mortgage Drawdown & Cashflow — stage drawdowns against an 18-month cashflow,
showing the tightest cash point in the whole build.
4. Contractor Quote & Payment Comparison — three quotes across 13 trades, plus
deposits, interims and balances.
5. Build Programme & Gantt Chart — 20 pre-loaded tasks, bars that draw
themselves.
6. Snagging & Defects List — every defect logged by room, trade and priority,
through to closed.
PLUS the How-to-Use Guide (PDF).
Self-builds don't usually fail on the build. They fail on cashflow, on VAT
that never got reclaimed, and on a budget nobody was watching. These are the
tools for those three.
6 x Excel files (.xlsx) + guide (PDF). Works in Microsoft Excel and Google
Sheets. Instant download.
Educational tools only. Not financial, mortgage, tax, legal or construction
advice. Correct as of July 2026.
