Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

Although there is no longer a true customizable option, I did hear that if there is an existing plan they have on file that has been customized, they may build that for you. That would be the closest I think you can get to a truly customized plan, but then again, it would be someone else’s customized home. I worked on ours for over a year to customize. No way I could’ve made choices in one week!
As for exterior colors, I would recommend a light color. There is a lot of thermal mass if you are talking concrete. That will hold heat or cold longer than siding. Talk to Florida paints and get a good idea how hot, say a navy, exterior paint can be. Good luck!
