This Project Budget Estimator is a tool for prospective boat builders to get a high-level understanding of the potential costs involved in their project. By inputting key variables like boat length, construction type, and desired quality, you can generate a detailed cost breakdown and an estimated timeline. This helps in financial planning, decision-making, and setting realistic expectations for your boat building journey.
Key Concepts:
Base Cost: The core cost of materials and labor before contingency.
Contingency: A safety net fund (15-25%) for unexpected expenses.
Labor Type: The choice between DIY, professional, or mixed labor greatly impacts cost.
Quality Level: Material and finish quality can drastically alter the final budget.
