        "text": "To stay within budget, it's crucial to establish a realistic budget upfront and communicate it clearly with your contractor. Prioritize your needs versus wants and make decisions on materials early to avoid change orders. Consider less expensive alternatives for certain finishes without compromising quality. A contingency fund of 10-15% for unexpected issues is also recommended to prevent overspending.",
