Building a new home will involve numerous headaches and frustrations, and the builder will charge you full retail price for all of the upgrades you request. And, when you are finished, you will end up with a house that is not worth what you paid for it, and probably will not fully meet your expectations or needs. Just my opinion as a professional engineer with 40 years of experience in construction.
Would rather build and buy what I want, not what they want to sell.
