37. We will obtain an economic feasibility study that will tell us how much we can afford ,then establish a realistic budget. We will hire an architect which will design within our budget. During construction, we will control the Contractor’s scope of work and change orders to stay within our budget. We will build what we can afford! Mike Kertesz, Project Coordinator
