Project planning isn't about perfection. It's about making key decisions while options are still open and costs are still controllable.
Once work begins, flexibility reduces quickly - and capital becomes harder to protect.

Finish decisions carry more weight than they appear to.

In refurbishment projects, it’s one of the quickest ways margins quietly erode. When choices are driven by preference rather than purpose, costs increase without improving outcomes.

The projects that perform best are usually those in which finishes are agreed early, aligned with the strategy, and left unchanged once work begins.

The difference is rarely visible at the start - but it shows up clearly at the end.
