"We love the design, but it's $200,000 over budget."

Most builders have delivered this devastating news to clients who've invested months into plans they can't afford. Construction costs have surged 40.8% since 2020, fundamentally changing what's achievable within typical budgets. We sat down with Haydn Simmons from Price A Plan to understand how accurate estimating can prevent these painful conversations before they happen.

For builders, partnering with specialists like Price A Plan means qualifying projects properly before investing time in detailed designs. For clients, it means understanding true costs upfront rather than discovering budget shortfalls after committing to plans.

The question isn't whether you need accurate estimates; it's whether you can afford the consequences of getting them wrong.
