Your New Build Owner's Kit is supplied as a single ZIP file containing eight PDF documents, one Excel workbook and a read me file. The kit is entirely digital and no physical products will be sent.
1. Download and open your kit
Download the ZIP file using the link provided with your order and save it to your computer.
Windows: Right click the ZIP file and select Extract All.
Mac: Double click the ZIP file to extract its contents.
Once extracted, open the folder and begin with 00-READ-ME-FIRST.txt followed by 01-start-here.pdf.
We recommend keeping an unchanged copy of the original kit and creating a separate working copy for your build. Initial setup is best completed on a computer.
2. Set up the workbook
Open 06-new-build-owners-workbook.xlsx using Microsoft Excel.
The workbook is designed for you to record and manage information relating to your build, including selections, costs, variations and notes.
Enter your information only in the designated input areas. Formula cells should not be changed or deleted, as doing so may affect calculations and dashboard totals.
Using Google Sheets
If you prefer to use Google Sheets, upload the Excel workbook to your Google Drive account and create a converted Google Sheets copy.
Once converted, check the dashboard, formulas and totals before entering your build information. Some Excel features may behave differently when converted to Google Sheets.
The file supplied with your purchase is an Excel workbook. A shared Google Sheets template is not provided.
Your working copy may contain personal information and details relating to your property and build. If you choose to share it with another member of your household, we recommend keeping access private.
3. Using the PDFs
The PDF documents are designed for digital use and A4 printing.
Some documents include fillable fields and checkboxes. Support for these features can vary between PDF applications and devices.
Before using a digital checklist on site, complete a few fields, save the document, close it and reopen it to confirm your changes have been retained.
If your phone, browser or PDF viewer does not save interactive fields correctly, use a dedicated PDF reader or print an A4 copy instead.
