Your thinking about installing the builder carpet throughout is sound, in my opinion.

In my opinion, excellent advice. You only have to go through tearing up grout and tile ONCE, to know you think you may never survive and that you will still be breathing the dust from it for a year after it's done, no matter how well you clean. It's so fine, just don't do it, take the carpet for now. What we did in kitchen, is pass on their tile section, and took a vinyl that did not even have to be removed when we chose or "permanent" flooring after we moved in.
