Poor planning is the single biggest cause of cost overruns. Freeze your drawings before construction starts and resist mid-project design changes.
Unrealistic budgeting is a close second. Always keep a contingency of at least 10% for unforeseen expenses.
Low-quality materials look cheaper on day one and cost far more across a decade of maintenance. Insist on branded steel, cement, and waterproofing.
Inadequate supervision allows small deviations to become structural problems. Qualified engineering supervision protects your investment.
