Many time project owners become confused because preliminary budget at starting stage looks much lower than final construction cost. This happens because early estimates are usually based on limited drawings, rough material prices, and assumptions before complete project details are available. Changes in design, labor rates, site conditions, and material market can also increase the total amount later. I want to understand how experts reduce these differences and what is the best preliminary estimating method in construction for making more accurate project budgeting from the beginning.
