Renovation & home-build management
Renovate without the snags.
Plan the work, keep contractors honest, and see every pound — in one calm place built for people running their own home renovation or build. No chaos. No nasty surprises.
Built for homeowners & self-builders in the UK.
Renovations don’t go wrong all at once.
They slip — a quote buried in your inbox, a date only the builder remembers, an invoice that doesn’t match what was agreed, receipts in a drawer. Refurbly keeps all of it in one place, so nothing quietly gets away from you.
What you get
Everything a renovation needs, in one place.
Not another spreadsheet. The tools a good project manager would use — made for the person whose house it actually is.
Plan every job, phase by phase
A clear timeline from strip-out to sign-off. See what’s happening, what’s next, and what’s slipping — before it costs you.
Know it stacks up
Feasibility, budget and your spend ceiling in one view — stamp duty and mortgage worked out. Decide with numbers, not hope.
Keep contractors honest
Quotes, invoices and staged payments side by side. Approve work, track what’s paid, and never lose an amendment.
Every document, filed
Plans, surveys, certificates, photos and emails — attached to the right job and room, not lost in your inbox.
Snagging & sign-off
Punch-list the finish, chase what’s outstanding, and sign each job off. The ‘no snags’ bit — done properly.
Your house, room by room
Set your property up from a template — a 3-bed semi, a 5-bed detached — and plan the work room by room.
See it in action
Three screens you’ll live in.
