        "text": "To stay within budget, establish a realistic budget from the outset and communicate it clearly with your contractor. Prioritize your needs versus wants and make design decisions early to avoid costly changes during construction. Choose materials and finishes that align with your budget, and consider the long-term value. Always allocate a contingency fund, typically 10-15% of the total project cost, for unforeseen expenses. Regular check-ins with your contractor about spending and progress are also crucial for budget adherence.",
