when you move out of your aprtment, or you mommy's house.
You will find out that contractors lie, and their is no santa clause.
as much as I would like to protect you from this reality, I am powerless to do so.
The contractor game is to bid low to get the job(not in this case however cause you know they were the most superior of all the choices, oh yeah their weren't any other choices all across this land)
Then they kill you with the upgrades, add -ons and of course the clean up (not included in original bid prices)
I could list all the stuff but I probably lost you back when I statred to make sense>

Hmmmm actually I have always required any contractor to guarantee a delivery price and completion date. At one point in my life I own a small master franchise license which required me to build several retail locations at the same time so I am quite familiar with the process. At no time would I have ever allow a 50 times overbudget as you are supposing.
FYI, Haliburton wasn't the lowest bidder. In fact, the bidding process was not public which I do have issues with...
