About this event

Budgeting is one of the first actions taken in the putting together a proposal. Even though it is a best estimate of the project costs, it involves meticulous planning and forethought of the project needs and when expenses will be incurred.

In this eight-week series, we will be breaking the budget down into line items to discuss the basic rules and typical charges.聽
