We added overhead lighting in the living room and upgraded the fan. We put insulation on the sides and above the garage. We upgraded to an insulated garage door. We added a golf cart garage. We added a third spigot outside in the back.

There are a lot of things you can do after the build like the countertops and flooring. We just didn’t want to hassle with it. We took the basic landscaping and added to it after we moved in. We also had painters come in after we bought. Don’t forget to price anything you want done after. Those items can add up also.
Thank you for your response it was helpful and I like the extra insulation. 10% over base is reasonable and under that 100k, well unless your base was a million $.
