What's Your Biggest New Construction Budgeting Mistake?

For those who have built from the ground up:

What's one expense you underestimated on your first project?

Was it:

  • Labor?
  • Materials?
  • Permits?
  • Holding costs?
  • Site work?
  • Something completely unexpected?

Curious what experienced builders would tell someone preparing for their first construction project.
