Every build starts with the same five questions, and slow answers.
Before a project begins, an owner needs to know what can be built, what rules apply, what it will cost, which materials are needed and who to involve. Those answers decide the budget, so they need to come first.
The answers come slowly. A council check confirms zoning. An estimator reads the drawings and works up quantities. A spreadsheet holds the costs. Supplier calls fill in prices that change week to week. The owner waits, and the early decisions get made on guesses.
Each step lives in a different tool and a different inbox. Nothing carries the address, the documents and the numbers in one place, so the picture stays scattered right up to the point money gets committed.
