Changing your mind. A lot.
Once your project has begun, try your best to stick with your plan, says James Harris, general contractor with Cedar Mountain Construction in Forest Grove, Oregon. "If you don't, it can get expensive in a hurry," he says. "We do walk-throughs with our clients before we hang drywall, because far too often we get people who change their minds after the drywall is up. Usually the changes require tearing out the drywall and starting over, and that's money that doesn't have to be spent."
Harris has noticed that clients don't change their minds in a vacuum. "We get a lot of people who let themselves be persuaded by their architect, a subcontractor, or a family member to change something that they later regret," he says. "There needs to be a certain level of sticking to one's guns.
