        "text": "Costs depend on square footage, site terrain, structural complexity, and chosen finishes. Design and engineering typically represent a percentage of the total project budget, with the remainder allocated to site work, permits, labor, and materials. A major decision factor in budget planning is site conditions; steep ground or rocky soil can increase earthwork and foundation expenses before structural framing even begins. Detailed pre-construction planning provides clear cost visibility across each phase.",
