Guess choosing basic carpet everywhere possible is the cheapest way to proceed with upgrading to tile flooring later; omit what we can or select the least expensive options. Cabinets, sinks, countertops, and shower, we are thinking those are the “keepers” and we should choose best of what’s available not replacing later.
Has anyone followed a similar strategy and can say they are happy with the results (choices, costs, and quality of third party workmanship)?

Get upgrades on Cabinets and Flooring , cost will be much cheaper than aftermarket, light fixtures and plumbing fixtures usually have plenty to choose but not a big deal to change out later and is cost effective, if wanting wide baseboard I would also do now , crown molds can be added later usually cheaper than during build , if wanting any stretching of house , garage or screen porch do now also , I have found those to be most cost effective things the developers do ,
Good luck
