        "text": "While design-build aims to finalize plans before construction, changes are possible, though they may impact the project timeline and cost. Our process emphasizes thorough design review and client approval before breaking ground to minimize such instances. If changes are necessary during construction, they will be handled through a formal change order process, clearly outlining any adjustments to the schedule or budget. Early decision-making and clear communication during the design phase are crucial to avoid extensive changes, especially for projects with strict timelines in areas like Livermore or Pleasanton.",
