as a normal Nextcloud Deck board.
A renovation board for a project you manage yourself. It puts blocking decisions first, compares quotes for one written scope, books trades in order, and ends with a snagging walkthrough.

Home Renovation
Decisions1
Settle the decisions that block everything else
Layout and services come first. Choosing tiles before the wall moves wastes both.
- Decide anything that changes where walls or pipes go
- Confirm whether the work needs permission
- Agree the total you are willing to spend
- Decide what you will do without if costs rise
Quotes1
Get three quotes for the same written scope
Quotes for different scopes are not comparable, and the cheapest is usually the least included.
Scheduled1
Book trades in the order the work must happen
One trade arriving before the previous one has finished costs a full day, every time.
In Progress1
Photograph everything before it is covered
Pipes and cables disappear behind plaster. The photograph is what you will have in five years.
Snagging1
Walk the job and list every defect
Write the full list once, while the trade is still on site and still being paid.
- Walk every room in daylight
- Open and close every door, window, and drawer
- Run every tap and check for leaks
- Agree a date for the fixes before final payment
Done1
Keep the paperwork together
Certificates, warranties, and sign-offs matter when you sell or make a claim.

01
When to use this board
For a renovation you are managing yourself. The board puts the blocking decisions first, insists on three quotes against one written scope, sequences trades in the order the work must happen, and treats snagging as a proper walkthrough before the final payment.
02
How to run this board
Settle layout and services first.
Work through the Decisions checklist before you choose finishes or ask for quotes.
Compare three quotes and book trades in order.
Send the same written scope to each trade, then schedule them in the order the work must happen.
Photograph, snag, and file the paperwork.
Photograph pipes and cables before they are covered, list every defect before the final payment, and keep certificates on the board.
03
What this creates
6 stacks, 4 board labels, and 6 starter cards carrying 8 checklist steps. Attachments and comments are intentionally omitted so the template stays portable.
04
Why it fits Deckloud
The template is just a recipe for standard Deck objects. No hosted workflow account, no relay backend, and no Deckloud-only object model.
05
Safe import rules
IDs are not stored. Stack and label keys are remapped at creation time, due dates use relative offsets instead of stale fixed dates, and checklists are written into the card description as ordinary Markdown task lists.
FAQ
Practical questions
Does this change my Nextcloud server schema?
No. It creates ordinary boards, stacks, labels, and cards through the normal Deck model.
Does the template include comments or attachments?
No. V1 templates are text-only because comments imply authorship and attachments vary by server/version.
Can I edit the board after creating it?
Yes. After creation it is just a normal Nextcloud Deck board.
Why get three quotes for the same written scope?
Quotes for different scopes are not comparable. The cheapest is usually the one that includes the least, and the difference appears as variations later.
Why photograph work before it is covered?
Pipes and cables disappear behind plaster. The photograph is the only record you will have when someone needs to drill into that wall.
