        "text": "While it is possible to make changes (often called 'change orders') during ground-up construction, it's generally best to finalize all design decisions before construction begins. Changes mid-project can lead to increased costs, extended timelines, and potential material delays. Each change order typically requires re-estimating costs, revising plans, and obtaining approval, which can impact the overall budget and schedule. Discuss any potential modifications thoroughly with your contractor to understand the implications.",
