[quote=Anonymous]Sorry this is happening, it can be really distressing. We did a big renovation, including an addition, and I don’t remember the exact numbers, but we did blow past our original budget. In our case, the contractor was up front about where costs were coming from when we asked about it. It all checked out but was still stressful to write those checks. I think it’s pretty normal for costs to exceed estimates, especially in this era of inflation/supply chain issues, but definitely don’t be afraid to ask them to justify it. [/quote]
