Get a price on the rug upgrade to a Berber. Get the model numbers on ALL appliances and ask what the allowance is if you get your own instead.
The gutters were a good price, but ask. Tile upgrade, paint, etc.
It'll be easy and they do it all the time. They walk you through the models and show you the choices right in front of you. You'll be fine; Good luck.
Hi, Have not done the design center yet (Oct), but have asked about appliances as there were issues with GE earlier. They've changed to Whirlpool, but our agent (10 yrs w/TV) said there are no allowances to get your own. This is all we have to go by. Other posters have purchased the lowest grade and then replaced them on their own after occupancy. Also posters say the appliances have to be in place for TV to get a CO.

Congrats and ENJOY! It will be fun, I'm sure!
