        "text": "Total project costs vary significantly based on home square footage, layout reconfigurations, and the quality tier of selected finish materials. Major cost drivers include moving load-bearing walls, installing high-end finishes like natural marble versus standard ceramic tile, and replacing aging plumbing or electrical infrastructure. Investing in custom finish carpentry, detailed molding, and premium cabinetry also shifts the budget upward. To maintain control over your spending, it helps to finalize all material choices before construction begins and reserve a ten to twenty percent contingency fund for unexpected conditions discovered inside existing walls.",
