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)?

My neighbor had a great idea, buy the cheapest home in the design you like. This keeps the annual taxes low. Then add the higher end items as you want to do them in the colors and designs you like.
I just added tile floors to my three bedrooms and Lani. It was not cheap. It was $9,700. It looks beautiful now. They matched the tile perfectly. The question is how comfortable are you living in construction projects?
