Free finishes schedule template for every room.

Thirteen areas from the entry through to the alfresco, already laid out — every ceiling, wall, tap and floor finish with a column for the image, the colour, the supplier code and the quantity. Blank and ready for your next job.

  • 13 areas — entry, living, kitchen, pantry, master, ensuite, bedrooms, bathroom, powder, laundry, garage, alfresco
  • An image column, because a client signs off on a photo, not a product code
  • A “how to use it” sheet explaining every column

Free, no card, no waiting — the spreadsheet downloads as soon as you hit the button.

What’s actually in it. Kitchen and ensuite, as they ship.

Two of the thirteen areas, with the real column headings. The file arrives blank like this — a complete skeleton to fill in with your client, not a worked example of someone else’s house.

Sheet 1 · Finishes & selections schedule — 212 rows across 13 areas. Sheet 2 explains every column.

The spreadsheet works. Until it doesn’t.

Use it — it’s genuinely enough for a small job. These are the four points where builders tell us it stops being enough, and they arrive in this order.

  1. You need a yes you can prove

    The client replies “looks good” in an email thread. Six months later they don’t remember approving that tapware, and neither does the thread you can’t find.

  2. Nobody knows which file is current

    Selections_FINAL_v4_USE-THIS-ONE.xlsx is in your Drive, an older one is in the client’s inbox, and the joiner is working off a printout from March.

  3. Sourcing the images eats your evening

    The sheet’s own instructions call the image column “critical for client sign-off but time-consuming to source manually”. That’s a night of right-click-save-as per project.

  4. A trade is standing in the bathroom

    They need the install guide and the spec sheet, not just a product code. A spreadsheet holds neither — that paperwork is still on the supplier’s website, or in your inbox. So they ring you.

Swatcha is the same schedule with those four fixed. As you add each product it goes and finds the images and the paperwork — install guides, spec sheets, warranties — keeps one live version everyone works from, collects the approvals on the record, and lets a trade scan a code on site to pull up the lot.
