Demos

See Refurbly working on a real renovation.

Two short video introductions first. Then seven click-through demos: an overview, the parts you’ll use most (setting up the house, planning the jobs, the timeline and the money) and the two add-on products, Survey and Care. Where a longer video covers a demo, it sits with that demo’s screenshots.

The Refurbly and Survey screens are the live Westwood project, a Grade II listed refurbishment. The Care screens show a sample home file. Supplier names are replaced with “AN Other Supplier”.

Watch the videos.

Filmed on the live Westwood project. Start with one of the introductions. The longer videos sit with the demos they cover, further down.

A day in the life: how I use it

Not a feature tour: how I actually run Westwood with it. Suppliers, quotes and payments; phases, jobs and the timeline; the cash burn and when the money runs out; then a quick look at the survey mark-up.

Then click through the screens at your own pace.

01

Set up the house.

Start from a property type and the rooms are laid out for you to tweak. After that, every photo, plan, scan and job attaches to the right room.

  1. The Rooms page: rooms listed by floor with photo, document and job counts, and the selected room's details.
  2. A room's Survey and Heat tab: a 3D model of the room, its floor area, ceiling height and heat loss, and the services marked up.
02

Plan the jobs.

Break the work into phases and jobs, assign the trades, and keep each phase’s budget and quotes in one place.

Covered in the day-in-the-life video, in the overview above

  1. The Jobs page: phases listed with their budget, quotes and what has been paid, above a summary of budget against accepted quotes.
  2. A phase opened out to show its jobs, each with a trade, a status, a budget and a quote.
03

See the timeline.

A clear programme from strip-out to sign-off. See what’s happening, what’s next and what’s slipping, before it costs you.

Covered in the day-in-the-life video, in the overview above

  1. The timeline: a Gantt chart of every phase with today's line, the move-in date and the critical path.
  2. A month calendar showing meetings, consents and payments due.
04

Watch the money.

Quotes, invoices and payments tracked against the budget as the work happens, so you see a problem when it’s still small.

Covered in the day-in-the-life video, in the overview above

  1. The Money page: budget, quotes received, invoiced and paid for the project, and each phase's progress against its budget.
  2. A list of quotes, each with its amount and whether it is submitted or accepted.
  3. Payments: what has been paid, what is due in the next two weeks and what is overdue.

Add-on products

Two more products, each sold on its own.

Survey and Care are not part of a Refurbly plan. Each is a product in its own right with its own monthly price. Add either one to Refurbly, or use it without Refurbly at all, and cancel one without touching the other.

Refurbly Survey£12 a month

Before you spend a pound on the house.

Scan or measure each room, see where the heat goes, and mark up the plans so every supplier quotes against the same drawing.

See the Survey demo Billed separately · with Refurbly or on its own
Refurbly CareFrom £7 a month

After the build is finished.

The home file: every appliance and warranty, service dates that chase you, and what the house costs to run.

Surveys and mark-up

A closer look at Refurbly Survey: survey the house, mark up the plans and go into every quote knowing exactly what you need. Being in control of the detail is what saves the thousands.

Then click through the screens at your own pace.

  1. A kitchen-diner scanned in 3D, with its seven walls, three windows and three doors picked out and labelled.
  2. The heat-loss report: total heat loss, watts per square metre, heated rooms and upgrade scenarios such as loft insulation and triple glazing.
  3. A first-floor plan marked up with lighting symbols: downlights, wall lights, two-way switches and an occupancy sensor, each labelled.
  4. Issue for quotes: each trade's latest committed version, with the drawings in it and a button to request quotes or comments.

Refurbly Survey is £12 a month, billed separately. Use it on its own or alongside any Refurbly plan. Add it for the months you need it, and cancel when the survey is done.

Refurbly Care Add-on · from £7 a month

Keep the house running.

The home file for after the build: every appliance and its warranty, the service dates, the bills and what the house costs to run. If you built with Refurbly, your contractors, plans and photos stay linked to it.

Shown with a sample home file. A first look at Care is in the 7-minute introduction

  1. A sample home file: assets, scheduled and overdue counts, the maintenance due next and the warranties ending soonest.
  2. The assets register in a sample home file: eleven assets with their room, serial number, installation date and warranty end date.
  3. The maintenance schedule in a sample home file: eight recurring tasks with their next due date, one of them overdue, above the service history.
  4. The bills register in a sample home file: seven accounts grouped by type, with a warning that three contracts are coming up for renewal.
  5. Running costs in a sample home file: the year's budgeted and billed totals, borrowing shown separately, and each account's budget against its bills.

Refurbly Care is £7 a month for one home, billed separately. Up to three properties are £18 a month and up to ten are £45. Use it on its own or alongside Refurbly: cancelling one leaves the other running.
