Common Questions

The questions builders ask most often before and after signing up.

RenoCalc produces indicative renovation estimates based on AI floor plan analysis and current UK trade rates. The output is calibrated by Pindi Sahota — a builder with 32 years hands-on experience — and is suitable as a basis for client quotes and feasibility assessments. As with any estimating tool, the final quote should be reviewed by the builder against site-specific conditions, regional labour rates and current material prices.
RenoCalc's AI scanner accepts JPEG, PNG and PDF files. It also works with photographs of hand-drawn floor plans. Estate agent floor plans, architect drawings and builder sketches all work. For best accuracy, use a clear, well-lit image where room labels and dimensions are visible. See the AI Floor Plan Scanner page for more detail.
The AI analysis and quote generation typically completes in under 3 minutes from upload. This includes room measurement, material quantity calculation, trade cost breakdown, cover letter, method statements and schedule of works. Compare this to the 2-3 hours a manual quote typically takes.
Yes. The Excel output is a standard workbook that you can open and modify in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Adjust any line item — materials, labour rates, quantities — to reflect your specific costs and margins before sending to the client.
RenoCalc is primarily calibrated for UK residential renovation work — full house refurbishments, extensions, loft conversions, bathroom and kitchen renovations, HMO conversions and similar. Commercial projects can still benefit from the AI floor plan analysis and material takeoff, but the default cost rates are residential-focused.
