We’re happy with our “custom” home but didn’t love the process to get there. Be warned, when you are offered a choice, a price is attached to it and no one will tell you what it is until very late in the process. You can change then but it would be better, IMHO, if they were much more open up front. Were I to do it again, when offered with a choice, I’d ALWAYS ask “what is included for no up charge?” Often what is included is fine or can be replaced after move in for much less. An example, interior door handles, a simple handle selling on Amazon for $100 a dozen, $50 each from the builder. Even if you have to hire a handyman to install, you won’t spend nearly as much.
