What tools or processes have you implemented to estimate rehab costs more accurately and avoid scope creep in BRRRR projects?

@Andrew Syrios I looked at my last five flips to calculate the rehab cost overrun; the average was 15%. One project went sideways, two went as planned, and two were slightly over budget. I concluded that 20% was a good number going forward. 

Great article by the way.
