My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Don't see aphids but ants and wasps seem to love the ends of cow pea plants, including yard long beans. Read in Africa there is symbiotic relationship but most places say it's just aphids releasing sap for the ants.
