Take the basic flooring and countertops and have them changed after you move in and can see which rooms are bright or dark to help you choose the right color solar tubes make a huge difference in darkened rooms or areas and can be added after you move in. Recommend you put in kitchen pantry cabinet with pull out drawers as difficult to add the pullout portion later. Also recommend corner lazy susans. Have ceilings wired and capped for fans and lights then by your own elsewhere and have an electrician install them. Buy your window treatments blinds shutters yourself after you move in. Choose least expensive sinks and countertops floors etc if you plan to upgrade them to quartz and tile later. Structural construction changes are the most important things to add before home is built such as extensions to garage Lanai etc and especially ceiling heights. Good luck.

We spent two years "upgrading" our Atlanta house before deciding to move down here. We looked at many many existing homes and each one was going to be another major renovation. So with the decision to build came the tenet that it was move-in ready .. appliances came days after close - but tearing out counters, flooring and the like was not acceptable - we didnt want the mess or the hassle .. it;s a free choice everyone gets to make.
