Your project budgets aren't totally wrong—but they don't feel solid either.

In this episode, I break down why that happens (even after you've gained experience) and how to fix it.

We're talking about:

• Why early budgets should be ranges, not detailed breakdowns
• When the real budgeting work actually begins
• How to validate your numbers with trades and real data
• The mistake that quietly erodes client trust

If your budgets feel inconsistent or hard to stand behind, this episode will help you move from guessing to grounded, confident numbers.
