When we were in the designing mode, I found that if I wanted to
do the floors after we move in all one has to do is specify the cheapest linoleum available...then get a credit for the carpet and tile.
The after market contractors and tile suppliers have a much, MUCH better selection and charge less....TV "adder" for labor and materials is a big number for a whole house.
Ditto for counter tops....spec the cheapest TV offers and then after closing go get the good stuff and save $$$.
Another tip is to specify putting both gas and electric for your kitchen range and laundry room. Then one has the option of putting in which ever they choose when ready.
