Charles Christodoulou:It is not hard. You just got to be mentally ready. You got to be mentally ready and you just do it. It is not getting cheaper. I can tell you every year or our prices do go up every 3 months.

Charles Christodoulou:So people just oh they say to me, “Yeah, look, I’m I’ve got the land. I’m going to wait for another two years.” And in those two years, they pay about 15 to 20,000 more. And I say: Why you do that?

No. Delaying will likely cost you significantly more due to regular price increases.

How Often Do Prices Increase?

iBuild prices go up every 3 months. Therefore, construction costs increase regularly throughout the year.

The Cost of Waiting

People who delay building for two years typically pay $15,000 to $20,000 more than if they had started immediately.

It's Not Getting Cheaper

Construction costs are not decreasing. Waiting means paying more – not less.

Mental Readiness vs Financial Reality

What it takes: You just need to be mentally ready and commit to starting.

The reality: Building costs aren’t getting cheaper, so delaying only increases your total project cost without providing any financial benefit.
