/PRNewswire/ --

'Home Made' brings clarity, ease and expertise to property renovation projects -

Toocube Ltd, a mobile applications development company, has launched a new

application that is set to transform the process of calculating property

renovations. Designed to assist anyone planning on renovating a property, the

free app, 'Home Made' provides the user with a budget of renovation costs

which are calculated and generated in seconds.

Home Made enables anyone to start their renovation planning better-informed

and prepared in three fast, self-explanatory steps. Users simply type in the

details of the property they want to renovate, then choose the works required

from a full list which includes items from painting and decorating and wall

finishes, a kitchen or bathroom renovation to a basement dig or loft conversion.

The clever application then calculates a complete overview of the cost of the

project, including renovation costs overall and per sq ft / sq m, financing costs

and stamp duty fees for buyers. For those who are looking at buy to let

investments, or to refurbish and sell on, it also provides useful financial

information including anticipated gross rental income per week and month, and

the net end value of the project.

The application also allows users to amend the data once calculated. For

example, if the renovation costs come out higher than your available budget,

users can go into certain elements, such as the kitchen refurbishments, to

amend the underlying figures - the overall costs are then automatically

calculated once the amendments are saved. The application allows users to

store up to ten projects, as well as download or email their project summary.

Julian Bryson, Director of Toocube, comments: "Having been involved with

property renovation for some time with unmodernised.com, we saw that there

was a gap in the market for a useful tool that assists with property renovation

calculations. Most people use excel spreadsheets or plain old pen and paper,

which is not ideal and can be cumbersome. This application is designed to

make the whole process of calculating renovations much easier - simplifying

and speeding up the process when people need it most - on the move. The

feedback from our Beta testers has been extremely positive, so we're sure that

this is set to become a widely used tool suitable for anyone who is keen to know

how much the property work they want to carry out might cost."

The costs calculated on Home Made are based upon data supplied by its

network of property industry experts as well as verified against data from the

Office of National Statistics, JIB (Joint Industry Board), nomis and RICS, amongst

other industry resources. To download the free app, go to

toocube.com/homemade or visit the mobile website: homemade.toocube.com.
