Build cost blow-outs usually hurt because they smash cashflow and force rushed choices.
The best defence is a contingency buffer you treat as “hands off” unless it’s a genuine must-pay item. If the budget does jump, act early: cut the nice-to-haves first, update the numbers, and then look at funding options based on what your lender will accept at the time (policies vary).
The best plan is the one you’ll actually stick to — structure matters as much as the spreadsheet.
