Design & Rehab Budget Advice

[Paul Ortiz]

Question and/or advice.

How would you handle a Rehab when the Design and Budget clearly are not in line with each other?

Situation:

Client has the home, hired a architect, have the permits but now the budgets are way over the architects estimates.

Outcome:

Not sure need opinions.

Generally we work with the owners ahead of time to review designs and plan out rough estimates, so that there is some type of realistic idea for cost.

since they (the Owners) were referred to us by a acquaintance I feel obligated to Help.
