What is RenoVote?
RenoVote is a shared workspace for planning a renovation. You collect ideas, vote on them, track the work and the money, and share the story if you want to.
The short version
- Collect ideas in one place
- Vote on them together
- Plan the work in phases and tasks
- Track what you planned to spend and what you spent
- Share a public page of your renovation (optional)
How the pieces fit
Think of it as boxes inside boxes:
- Address: the property you are renovating
- Project: one renovation at that address, like "Kitchen Remodel"
- Phases: the stages of a project, like Demo, Rough and Finish
- Tasks: the jobs inside a phase
- Ideas: options you are still deciding on
Around those sit a few helpers:
- Vendors: the contractors and suppliers you work with
- Floorplan: a drawing of your property with named rooms
- Budget: planned versus actual costs
- Showcase: the public page you can publish
- Members: the people you work with
A typical journey
- Add your property and create a project.
- Split the work into phases and tasks.
- Drop ideas into the Ideas page and let everyone vote.
- Approve the winners and link them to tasks.
- Record costs as you spend.
- Publish a showcase if you want to share the progress.
Your menu
- Showcase: preview, edit and publish your public page
- Projects & Phases: your projects and their stages
- Tasks: the jobs to do
- Ideas: the moodboard and voting
- Budget: where the money goes
- Vendors: your contractors
- Floorplan: rooms on a plan
- Members: who has access
- Emails: edit the emails RenoVote sends (owners only, not on every workspace)
- Profile: your details, addresses and currency
- Billing: your plan (hosted workspaces only)
Tip: The two drop-downs at the top pick the address and the project you are working in. If a page looks empty, check them first.
