Clyde Living Builder Comparison Toolkit

Choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions you will make during your renovation. The Clyde Living Builder Comparison Toolkit helps you compare builders properly—not simply choose the cheapest quotation.

This complete digital toolkit brings builder quotes, credentials, scope details, references, risks and scores together in one organised system, helping you make a more informed and confident decision.

What’s included?

  • 11-tab automated Excel workbook
  • Google Sheets-compatible format
  • Builder comparison dashboard
  • Detailed quote comparison
  • Scope and inclusions checker
  • Weighted builder scorecard
  • Due-diligence tracker
  • Interview and reference log
  • Builder red-flag tracker
  • Automatic readiness scores and rankings
  • Final decision summary
  • 10-page printable PDF checklist

Compare up to five builders

Enter each builder’s quotation, programme, deposit, warranty and company details. The toolkit then helps you compare:

  • Overall quotation totals
  • Missing or unclear work
  • Provisional sums and allowances
  • Relevant experience
  • Communication and professionalism
  • Insurance and due diligence
  • References and previous projects
  • Contract and payment terms
  • Unresolved risks or warning signs

Make decisions using evidence

The automated scoring system combines price, scope completeness, due diligence, quality, references and risk to create a clear builder ranking.

You can adjust the decision weightings to reflect what matters most to your renovation while ensuring unresolved concerns remain visible.
