Remodel doubled mid-project?
Kitchen remodels double budgets mid-project. Change orders ambush monthly.
1. The problem
Homeowners start kitchen remodels that double budgets by demo week. Change orders ambush monthly. Contractors allowances shrink mysteriously. Appliances backorder eternally. The hardest part is line-item truth upfront. A quote might hide allowances thinly. That uncertainty makes it hard to finish on budget.
“Budgets doubled by demo week here. I need line budgets with change guards.”
2. What exists
Contractor quotes, Houzz and spreadsheets budget remodels, while costs double routinely. Quotes hide allowances. A sheet might track poorly. There is little help with line-item budgets plus change-order guards for owners.
3. The solution
The solution could be a budget-holding engine for remodels. It could price scopes line by line plainly. It could flag change orders instantly. Payment schedules could match milestones. The goal would be kitchens done on budget.
