Finally cracked the code on keeping construction costs in check

Just wrapped up a pretty big project and for once, we actually came in under budget. I mean, not by a ton, but enough to make me feel like a budgeting ninja, haha. Usually, there's always something unexpected popping up—materials prices going nuts or some random delay—but this time we planned for the worst-case scenarios early on and it paid off. Curious if anyone else has had one of those rare moments where your budget actually survived reality?

Totally agree—zoning isn't always the magic fix people hope for. I've found that getting ductwork right and sealing up air leaks early on usually solves most comfort issues without the extra complexity. Sometimes simpler really is better...
