The bottom line is that costs will always rise long-term - at least with inflation.

It’s no secret that the construction industry faces many project management challenges. Cost overruns are one of the most common results of these challenges, leading to construction companies going significantly over budget more often than they’d like to admit. Unorganised and siloed data, data spread across multiple systems, and an overall lack of connectivity are common factors among projects with high failure rates.
