Definitely postpone the garage in terms of timing and use the budget as a buffer. It costs at least 20k, right? You have a large basement, so you don't (initially) need a garage.
And talk to the construction company about what options they see. For example, removing floor coverings and doing it yourself. Reducing the outdoor area to the essentials (just gravel instead of paving).
Do you already have a child? If not, postpone the attic conversion including the bathroom and use the granny flat as a bedroom in the meantime.
Someone already mentioned buying and storing materials.
Be flexible overall! Your total financial situation is unknown, but if it seems feasible in any way and you have a construction company as a partner you can talk to, I would go for it.
Exactly, the garage costs about 20000 but can still be cut. The first offer still included a ventilation system for 20000, which has also been cut + a planned buffer of 20000.
So as of now, we would have had a 60000 buffer and then the construction company came with the price increase. That was already after the loan approval.
The child is already here, so we should already finish the upstairs.
