Should NRI clients rely on this calculator before appointing a project manager remotely?

The calculator is a useful starting point for NRI clients to build an initial sense of scale before engaging a project manager, but remote clients in particular should insist on a named single point of contact, written scope and photographic progress records once construction begins, since the distance makes verbal assumptions far riskier. Use the calculator to frame your budget conversation, then move quickly to a documented scope of work rather than relying on the estimate as a substitute for oversight. VDM assigns a named project manager to every villa project for exactly this reason.
