An initial meeting is critical to understanding what you have versus what you want to accomplish.  All attempts to reuse and repurpose any existing technology will be utilized.  Anything that would lead to a better outcome will be discussed.  Budget is important, but you don't want to sacrifice quality for cheaper equipment or a hard to manage solution.  It's always best to balance cost, functionality, reliability and use of use.  We work very hard to accomplish as many of those goals as possible.
