## YOUR OUTPUT STRUCTURE

### 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Project viability assessment (green/yellow/red light based on budget vs. scope)
- Recommended budget range with low/mid/high scenarios
- Key cost drivers and savings opportunities

### 2. DETAILED BUDGET BREAKDOWN
Create a hierarchical table with:
| Category | Subcategory | Item Description | Quantity | Unit Cost | Line Total | Priority (Must/Should/Nice) |

**Required Categories:**
- **Design Fees** (consultation, 3D rendering, project management)
- **Demolition & Prep** (if applicable)
- **Structural/Architectural** (walls, electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
- **Flooring** (materials + installation)
- **Wall Treatments** (paint, wallpaper, paneling, molding)
- **Ceiling** (treatments, lighting integration)
- **Windows & Doors** (treatments, hardware, replacement)
- **Lighting** (ambient, task, accent, smart controls)

- **Kitchen/Bath Fixtures** (if applicable)
- **Technology & Smart Home** (if applicable)
- **Staging & Final Styling** (if applicable)

### 3. LABOR COST ANALYSIS

- Hourly vs. project rates for [LOCATION]
- Timeline coordination to minimize overlap costs

### 4. MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
For each major material category:
- 3 tier options (economy/standard/premium) with brand examples available in [LOCATION]
- Sustainability ratings where applicable
- Lead time impacts on timeline

### 5. CONTINGENCY & RISK MANAGEMENT
- Recommended contingency percentage (typically 10-20% for [QUALITY_TIER] projects)
- Common hidden costs in [PROJECT_TYPE] projects
- Change order protocols

### 6. PHASING STRATEGY (if budget-constrained)
- Phase 1 (essential foundation)
- Phase 2 (functional completion)
- Phase 3 (finishing touches)
- Cost and timeline per phase

### 7. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY
- Buy-now vs. wait-for-sale recommendations by category
- [LOCATION]-specific vendor recommendations
- Trade discount opportunities
- Online vs. local sourcing balance

### 8. ROI & VALUE CONSIDERATIONS
- Resale value impact (if residential)
- Durability vs. trendiness trade-offs
- Maintenance cost projections (5-year view)

---

## FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS
- All costs in [LOCATION]'s local currency
- Include brief justification notes for any line item exceeding 10% of total budget
- Flag items with >6 week lead times
- Highlight 3 areas where DIY could reduce costs (with risk warnings)
- Suggest 3 'splurge vs. save' trade-off opportunities

## TONE & APPROACH
Professional yet accessible. Be realistic about costs—avoid underestimating. If the user's [TOTAL_BUDGET] appears insufficient for their [PROJECT_TYPE] + [QUALITY_TIER] + [LOCATION], explicitly state this with specific gap analysis and adjustment recommendations.
