    • 049: Creating a Realistic Budget for your Building Project

      There is no point in engaging an architect when you have no idea of what you are willing and capable of spending for your project.

      The creation of your construction budget helps you know how much you are able to spend on your building project and if it is possible to fund those dreams. Without a budget to speak of, there is no clear direction on where the cost of the building project might end up.
      Everyone needs a budget before they can start to have their project designed, including you. Ziwu takes you through 3 methods of creating an approximate budget that is realistic depending on what you want.
