Luke 14:28 meaning and explanation

Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

Luke 14:28, Berean Standard Bible

This verse draws on ordinary building work: someone planning a tower, perhaps a watchtower for a vineyard, first sits down and works out whether there is enough to finish it.
