The Budget Calculator is a free tool that provides a conceptual cost estimate for classroom renovation projects. By answering a few simple questions, you receive a starting-point budget based on national construction data and your chosen renovation scope.

The tool uses national databases and the Classroom Reimagined team’s experience and then applies estimated cost percentages based on the level of renovation selected: Light Decorating, Light Renovation, Medium Renovation, or Substantial Renovation. For furnishings, you can select from a range of lower- to higher-end furnishings.

No. The calculator offers an order-of-magnitude estimate. Actual costs may vary significantly depending on location, market conditions, and project complexity. It’s recommended to consult with a facility manager, architect, or contractor for a more accurate budget.

You can set your budget constraints. The system will generate design options that fit within that budget, prioritizing changes with the highest impact.
