Setup answers shape a real checklist, not a generic template
Try the example below: choose a stage and a few product areas to see how the checklist preview responds using the same status language as the workspace.
Example only
Setup answers shape a checklist preview
Choose a project stage and up to three product areas. The preview uses the same kind of skip, rename and status language as project setup. It does not create an account or save a project.

Setup context
Record project stage, work type, possible layout change, product areas and what is already sorted.
Editable lines
Setup answers can skip, rename or reorder newly generated lines so the starting structure reflects the recorded scope.
Professional confirmation
The checklist does not certify the correct trade sequence. Confirm measurements, services, structural work and regulated milestones on site.
Four stages, one capability index. Open a specialist page when you want more depth.
Capability index- StageSpecialist page
Scope and planning range
Create the initial project context and, if useful, get a UK planning range before supplier quotes arrive.
Project setup context
Record project stage, work type, possible layout change, product areas and what is already sorted.
Quick and detailed UK cost checks
Use room scale, project scope, finish and service choices to produce indicative UK planning bands, not a site-specific or postcode-localised quote.
Cost-driver and uncertainty prompts
See choices that may move the range and information still worth confirming with suppliers, fitters or qualified trades.
Estimator-to-project handoff
Review what detailed-estimator answers, assumptions and category starting points can carry into project setup.
Test baseline variables without an account, then decide whether to carry the result into a project.
Current boundary
Pocketa does not create architectural drawings, confirm structural scope or provide binding construction prices.
- StageSpecialist page
Editable checklist and planning prompts
Turn setup context into a working checklist that remains under homeowner control.
Setup-shaped checklist generation
Setup answers can skip, rename or reorder newly generated lines so the starting structure reflects the recorded scope.
Editable lines and statuses
Add manual items, update notes and statuses, hide lines that do not apply and keep settled work visible.
Reviewed setup changes
When setup changes later, preview proposed additions, soft removals and reordering before accepting or dismissing them.
Advisory dependency warnings
Selected checklist dependencies can show sequence warnings and ask for a reason when you continue anyway. They remain advisory and overridable.
See how stages and sequencing questions can be organised without treating software as a fitter or project manager.
Current boundary
The checklist does not certify the correct trade sequence. Confirm measurements, services, structural work and regulated milestones on site.
- StageSpecialist page
Independent sourcing records
Keep listed catalogue options and products sourced elsewhere beside the same kitchen project.
Category-based catalogue browsing
Browse catalogue categories from Browse where Pocketa has published catalogue content and supplier pages.
Saved products and project notes
Save listed products to a project where supported, then keep specifications, questions and decision notes nearby.
Supplier routes where configured
Continue on supplier websites, request quotes, consultations or samples where a live supplier route supports them.
Bought-elsewhere records
Add external product links, prices and text notes so purchases made outside Pocketa remain visible in the project.
See how partner routes can support a free homeowner workspace without locking outside purchases out of the record.
Current boundary
Catalogue coverage is not comprehensive. Payment stays with the retailer or supplier, and options are not ranked by commission.
- StageSpecialist page
Planned and recorded spending
Keep planning figures and confirmed purchase records visible on Spending without combining them into one misleading total.
Editable planned spending lines
Add, edit and group planning ranges by category, including category starting points reviewed from an estimator handoff.
Recorded purchase total
Confirmed purchase records form the source of truth for recorded spending and appear separately from planned line notes.
Product-to-spending links
Link saved or bought-elsewhere products to planned lines and explicitly apply a reliable product price as a planning note where useful.
Duplicate-figure warnings
Potentially matching planned notes and purchase amounts can be flagged for review to reduce accidental double counting.
See how planned spending lines and recorded purchases remain distinct as real costs arrive.
Example only
Planned spending stays separate from recorded purchases
Planned spending and recorded purchases are kept separate so the two totals are not added together.
Planned spending
£8,100
- Cabinets£4,200
- Worktops£1,800
- Appliances£2,100
Recorded purchases

Planned spending
Editable planned spending lines hold planning ranges and optional notes.
Recorded purchases
Confirmed purchase records form the source of truth for recorded spending.
Current boundary
Pocketa is not accounting software. It does not automatically calculate spend variance, reallocate contingency or store receipt and invoice files.
Open your workspace at the setup stage
Create your secure account, record the initial project context and generate your editable checklist when setup is complete. Sourcing and cost capabilities become useful as you add real project information.
