What's Reno Roadmap?

Renovation Roadmap is JUST the strategy and process portion of everything that's included inside Renovation Planning Academy. It is an online program that helps homeowners prepare for the construction phase of their renovation project. It is a series of lessons, each in the right order, with videos and worksheets, that give you the knowledge and strategy to plan your home renovation like a professional interior designer.

This program is for you if you want to make good decisions for your renovation, but don't want to complete the drawings yourself. You want the strategy and process, without the actual documentation. Maybe you're not sure you can renovate yet, or you just have no interest in learning SketchUp. In those cases, Reno Roadmap is for you! The complete program inside RPA, but not bundled with SketchUp for Renovators.


If you go straight to a contractor or architect before you plan your renovation, you will feel:

confused intimidated stressed overwhelmed disappointed regretful

(And don't get me started on the budget blowouts!)

What's Inside
Renovation Roadmap

MODULE 1

Audit Your Home

Achieve total clarity about where you're at now and where you want to BE at the end of the process.

  • Create formal as-built drawings
  • Develop a strong foundational (pun intended) understanding of your home's existing Structural, HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing systems
  • Refine your home's grand vision and establish your list of reno requirements

MODULE 2

Set Your Planning Baselines

Set firm parameters around your project's scope and budget so that you'll know for sure you can actually afford the things you want.

  • Establish a comfortable ballpark budget based on your to-do list
  • Refine your scope according to your important priorities
  • Create first drafts of your project scope and budget

MODULE 3

Lay Out Your Floorplans

Design your dream layout that will finally bring incredible flow, storage, and functionality into your life.

  • Establish if your rooms are in the right spots or if more major changes are required.
  • Learn standard guidelines and expert space planning principles for each room/area of your home
  • Design your entire floorplan in SketchUp, with checklists and thinking prompts so you don't forget important details and considerations. (RPA only)

MODULE 4

Create Your SHEP Plans

Don't leave the most critical functional design decisions to contractors or tradespeople.

  • Learn the basics of the four SHEP elements (Structural, HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing) and how they show up in your home.
  • Understand what's possible with each item so that you can plan for each element within the context of your new layout
  • Draw the details of your home's new SHEP configurations inside your SketchUp model (RPA only)

MODULE 5

Design Your Home

Transform into a confident Interior Designer who picks gorgeous finishes you'll love forever.

  • Learn the principles of timeless design so that you can finalize your vision board with ease
  • Use our in-depth buying guides to gain the critical information you need without wasting countless hours researching online
  • Choose your finishes in the right order so that you'll never have to think, "Oh but will this choice mean that my previous decision on X is not going to work?"

MODULE 6

Prep For Construction

Get ready to start the execution phase with killer documentation and a strong team.

  • Refine your documentation so that it's the most comprehensive and complete package any contractor or tradesperson has ever seen
  • Receive accurate estimates from contractors & trades, and confirm your final decisions
  • Vet and choose your winning contractor/tradespeople before you move forward with getting your permits and learning what to expect—and avoid—during construction
