Here's what drives estimate failure in North American construction right now: 📈  Material price volatility — lumber, steel, and concrete prices have fluctuated 15–40% year-over-year since 2022 🧱  Scope creep not priced in — changes during design development add 8–12% to actual costs on average 🗺️  Regional blind spots — a Toronto estimate cannot use Phoenix labour rates. Yet many do. 📋  Missing CSI categories — small omissions in one division compound across the project ⏱️  Rushed bid cycles — contractors pricing jobs in hours instead of days A precise construction estimate isn't a luxury.
