This (obviously) wouldn't be a deterrent for me.

Pocket that money and also gives you a chance you visually inspect everything regualrly.

Mike, let me know what you find out because I am interested in the same thing as I would like to develop a way to visualize this information as well as analyze. 

As @Manolo D. recommended, get a break down by scope of work so you can visually verify progress with each draw.

Every day I wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 and spend 10 minutes in guided meditation, 10 minutes reading and saying my personal affirmations, 10 minutes of visualizing the biggest things I want in life, 10 minutes of reading (plus and hour of audio books while I drive in), 10 minutes writing, 20 minutes exercising (most days anyway), and finally 15 minutes looking at my yearly goals and aligning my monthly goals to meet that, then aligning my weekly goals to achieve my monthlies, then setting the day's goals to achieve the weekly goals.i do this for 4 key areas: Spiritual - what am i doing to make myself a better person?

Our first step is to do a walk-through a visually asses the situation.

If possible you should post some pictures to get a better visualization.

I have a great visual aid: "Hey son I would like to make a legitimate offer to you.

or.....when you see properties in shows/movies, you start visually analyzing them.

For those who're interested, I completed my ADU project and you can see the 3D visualization of my place here: https://my.matterport.com/models/hRAxQheq93H?
