Building a home is exciting, but what happens when you decide to change something after construction has already started?
In this episode of Builders Beyond Borders, we dive into one of the most common challenges during construction. Mid build changes. While some changes might seem small at first, they can quickly create ripple effects that impact cost, timelines, trades, and even the relationship between the builder and the client.
If you are planning to build or renovate, this episode will help you understand the real impact of mid build changes and how to avoid costly surprises.
