        "text": "A consultation is a discussion to explore your remodeling ideas, assess feasibility, and provide expert advice on design and process. An estimate, on the other hand, is a preliminary cost projection for a defined scope of work. Hometelligent Inc. uses consultations to refine the project scope, which then informs a more accurate estimate. Choosing to have a thorough consultation first can help prevent unexpected costs later by clarifying project details.",
