I have built two homes. Without adding additional structures to the building prints, a good rule of thumb would be to add 10 to 20 percent of the quoted price. Also any alterations you want to make to the floor plans such as moving walls make sure you do it prior to the builder laying the sheet rock or plaster board. Finally, you want to look at the building specs. For example, are they going to nail the sheet rock or screw it to the framing, you definitely want it screwed. How many outlets in the rooms. Do you want the house wired for home theater. Is the builder going to wire the house for computer use. These are all things that can add cost and you may want to ask the builder to include them in the price they quote to you.
