Underwriting worksheet — No. 06

Rehab budget generator

A scope of work priced line by line, room by room, then adjusted for your region and padded for what the walls are hiding. What you hand a contractor, not a guess per square foot.

Basis of estimate: Unit costs by trade, regionally adjusted
Leading measure: Total budget including contingency
Prepared by: Aldo Chandra, Philadelphia PA

Total rehab budget

Every enabled line item, multiplied out, lifted or cut by the regional factor, then carried at your contingency rate. The range is that figure plus or minus fifteen percent.

Rehab level

A level presets the line items and the contingency rate. Turn individual items on or off afterwards and the level stays as a label only.

Regional basis applied to every unit cost

Northeast — 1.15x

Line items

Quantities and unit costs are yours to overwrite. An unchecked line leaves both the budget and the scope sheet.

Timeline estimate

Weeks, permit application through punch list.

PhaseDuration

Driven by rehab level and square footage, with time added for roof, mechanical, and permitted work. Trades that can run in parallel are not double counted.

Scope of work

Plain text, ready to paste into a bid request or an email to your crew.

Unit costs are planning estimates, not bids. Real numbers move with your market, your contractor, and what the walls hide, so price the scope with a walkthrough before you commit. Nothing here is tax, legal, or investment advice.
