Aussie Reno Tracker

Aussie Reno Tracker keeps an owner-builder renovation in one place: what the rules say in your state, how much material you need, what is done, and what it costs. Written for Australian owner-builders doing their own renovation or build. Metric units, AUD, and state rules — not a generic project manager.

No account, no tracking, no ads. • Works offline — all reference data ships inside the app. • Every feature is included at no cost, with nothing to purchase in the app. IMPORTANT This app summarises publicly available information as a general reference. It is not building, legal or council compliance advice, and it does not determine whether your project needs approval. Always confirm the current rules with the relevant state authority and your local council before you start work. Material and cost figures are static reference ranges only. They are not supplier quotes, and they exclude GST, labour, delivery and site-specific costs.
