What strategies do you use to prevent construction delays and budget overages?
I have been involved in numerous construction projects where I was responsible for cost estimation and budgeting. My experience includes determining the financial feasibility of a project, assessing labor costs, materials, equipment, and permits.

My approach to accurate project estimation involves breaking down the project into smaller tasks, estimating each task individually, and then combining them for an overall estimate. This method has proven effective as it allows me to consider all aspects of the project.

For budgeting, I use software tools that help track expenses against the estimated budget. Regular monitoring is crucial to ensure we are not overspending and if necessary, adjustments can be made promptly.

This combination of detailed estimation and vigilant budget tracking ensures projects stay financially feasible while maintaining quality standards.
