💡DID YOU KNOW?💡 💸 From 7 to 102 Million: The Sydney Opera House Budget Leap! 💸 The original budget for the Sydney Opera House was AUD 7 million, but by the time it was completed in 1973, the cost had ballooned to AUD 102 million!!! 😲 This illustrates a phenomenon known as "cost overrun," which is quite common in large projects, where the actual cost far exceeds the initial estimates. The Sydney Opera House is a famous example, showcasing how difficult it can be to accurately estimate the total cost of a big project. Predicting the total cost of complex projects involves a combination of thorough planning, continuous monitoring, and flexibility. It requires a balance between detailed upfront planning and adaptability to change! #ProjectManagement #CostPlanning #SydneyOperaHouse #CostEstimation #RabelloEngineering

Addressing can seem simple, but it's often a minefield of incorrect assumptions. Myth 1: "Every Address Has a Building Number" This is the first assumption in our series and it's a common one: the belief that every address must start with, or include, a building number. 🚫 Not always the case! 🚫 Take the Royal Opera House in London as an example: Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 9DD, United Kingdom 👉 No building number required If you've ever encountered unexpected addressing quirks like this, you're not alone. It's a great reminder that even something as familiar as an address can be more complex than it seems. Stay tuned for more myths and facts about addressing in the coming weeks! #addressing #UKaddresses #mythvsfact #facts #mythbusters #fridayfact

What if we told you we can uncover your optimal price range AND better gauge your customer base's perceptions of you while doing so? Well that's exactly what we did for our friends at the San Diego Opera (with the help of Q2 Insights)! In this case study, we dive deep into helping the SDO understand current and prospective patrons' attitudes, beliefs, barriers, and motivations towards the opera. And finally, what price points raise their eyebrows: what is considered too cheap & expensive, plus ultimately what is their ideal price point? 🎼 🎶 🎵 Need help for similar research? Look no further 🤗 Delve into some of our findings below: #opera #consumerinsights #marketresearch #pricingresearch #brandresearch
