Step 6: Budget with intention (and prevent “death by change orders”) | Cali Dream Construction - Step

Whole-home budgets go sideways when:

• The scope isn’t defined early

• Allowances are unrealistic

• Finish decisions drag

• Layout changes keep happening midstream

To keep control:

• Define scope early

• Establish realistic allowances for the finish level you want

• Build a selection schedule (what you must choose and when)

• Use a clear change-order process
