Budget Checklist
What do you need to include when you are planning your budget? Here are some basic items that are part of most projects. There may also be additional items that apply to your specific situation. Some items-often site preparation, paving, and/or electrical work-may be handled by the owner; others may be provided by one or more contractors and/or professional consultants.

Site-Related Items

Make sure you include all necessary elements in your planning and your budget!
