Some people don't know what they want. We came down a year before we decided and search. Came back the next year (2017) and finalized our model (Iris), picked the lot we wanted and built. Stretched the garage wider by 4 feet (should have increased the depth as well) and the bedroom side of the house by 2 feet. Put in quartz for the kitchen counters & 3D laminate (looks just as good) for the bathrooms. Used builder grade carpet because TV really did not have top quality carpet in any colors we liked & so will replace it in a few years with high quality. Also, before we moved anything in, we had the entire interior repainted with colors we selected from Sherman Williams and wallpapered one room and one accent wall.
We since have had vinyl flooring installed over the tile in the kitchen for a softer look and feel and only regret that we didn't have the garage deepened. Good luck with your build!
