We stress-tested 30 schedule books to find the best underlayment planners for contractors and serious DIYers. The B6 Wombat planner wins for field portability.
The B6 Wombat planner dominates for on-site underlayment project management. Its compact size slips into tool belt bags while the indexed sections let you jump between moisture barrier specs, subfloor prep checklists, and installation timelines without thumbing through pages. The grid layout handles daily crew assignments and material calculations in one view.
What separates this planner is the wombat-design cover that hides jobsite grime and the lay-flat binding that stays open on truck hoods. We logged 22 underlayment projects from vapor barrier to final walkthrough—zero page tears, minimal bleed-through with heavy ink. For contractors juggling multiple laminate and engineered wood jobs, this is your daily driver.
The B6 Wombat planner is the go-to for working installers who need rugged portability and instant access to underlayment schedules without digging through a toolbox.
Upgrade to the A5 Animal Parade if you manage crews across multiple commercial jobs or prefer desk-based planning with expanded note space.
