Yeah, I was very very clear about our budget from the start, "we have £x", referred to it as a "pot of money" so they understood the concept of a fixed amount, and every architect said sure, that'll be fine... I repeated the question numerous times, explaining thats the total sum of money we have, until I was about to sign the contract and the last time they answered they said "yeah of course, plus VAT and fees..." which added up to around another 25k IIRC blowing the budget completely.

I too hate this. Was one of the pros for using Nested as they are (seem to be) more transparent about this kind of thing.
