Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a project budget?
Start by calculating all the costs, from labor to materials. Review similar projects from the past to see what their budgets were and if you've missed any expenses, such as travel, special equipment, and overhead. Map projected spend to the timeline: how much money will you use at each stage of the project? After you've reviewed the numbers, you can finalize your budget.
