The design process allows you to make changes to almost everything non structural. The stretches are based on your lot size but you can stretch all 4 walls if it accommodates but doubt it will. You usually get 2 sides you can stretch. If you want a witches hat on the front bedroom windows this should be added during design as well.
They don’t give you a list of prices. You put in things you want to add then they have someone else look at it and come back with actual price for the home. You can’t ask how much is it to put in 4 outlets, you add it to the design and they give a complete price. This was the biggest issue we had when designing.
Our sales rep who we are friends with said additions (pool, shutters, etc) are about 30% more at build than if you did it after market. Not sure if that is still the case but it’s a matter of conscience. We did an after market pool, crown molding, gutters, and shutters, 5 years later still doing upgrades based on what we noticed we wanted.
Biggest issue will be flooring which will be a pain to do after market and the standard carpet the villages used won’t last 2 years. The other big thing is interior paint.
The design process is mostly all about the colors and the fixtures you want to have.
Go to as many open houses as you can to see the insides and get ideas. Things we originally wanted change after we saw other options.
