Here are some examples. We are building a Laurel Oak.

Extended lanai across the entire back of house. That added 18 feet. ~$12,500.

Wall to build the summer kitchen against ~$2,900.

Stretch laundry room by 3' ~$2,000.

Add golf cart garage (Laurel Oak comes with 2 car standard) ~$14,000

Summer kitchen $25,000 - -$30,000

Upgraded air conditioner ~$3,500

Hard to get prices on actual design choices. Flooring, counters, cabinets, plumbing and light fixtures can all vary greatly in price.

I so over estimated what everything was going to cost that we actually came in under budget. lol
I have found you never find yourself "goudged" here when building. It is always a pleasant surprise. Our experience and others as well shared with us.
