It helps make future decision-making easier and establishes a firm communication protocol between all parties involved.

A pre-construction budget includes all foreseeable potential costs for the project and also consists of a small portion of investment towards unforeseen issues that might come up during the entire construction project.

Material: This includes obtaining all materials and supplies required to complete the construction project.
