The way TV does things may not be what you are used to. They ask you to choose all the options then go to a contractor and get a price to build with your specs. They give you you price and you say to much or sounds good. My advice is to choose what you want and go all the way. Then when the price comes back add or subtract from the extras. If you have to subtract do things that can be changed later like carpet, tile, fans, counter tops. It may take a few days to get the final deal but you will be able to live with it in the end. Washer & Dryer can be purchased at Lowe's for less and you get what you want. Same thing with window treatments ie. blinds ect. Tile or carpet, grade of carpet, tile on a diagonal or layed square. Appliance upgrades. Counter tops and fixtures. Sliding door that opens into the wall or not. Gable or hip roof, (I think hip may lower ins. rate). Drywall with square corners or rounded corners. Bumping out an area is the big option and the one that costs but it is hard to add 4 feet to the garage in a few years. Get as much as you can afford. Good luck.
