There are some locations where the builder is required by code to install lights when they build the house, like over the bathroom vanities.
I suspect that you can specify that the builder not install the fans, but I'm not 100% positive about that.
Did the same the recessed lights at $10 ea they wanted $150 ea
I ordered one switch and one ceiling outlet for each string of lighting now I can dasiy chain them in each area.

I had switch/outlet in Kit island and linked it a second one in the main base cabinets wired in led tow kicks so all go on together very simple install from Brite lits about $200

another outlet & switch in the tray ceilings for more leds

wiring for home theater projector and screen

I made a new electrical plan for most of the house cost was minimal

visited every custom new build I could find to get ideas.

remember if you forget something a change order after U sign off is $500

-----

Windows in garage doors $100

Don't get the water filter plumbing option it's really not right, Nova don't need it save $$
