I wanted to see what each item cost on the final contract. I guess it's the bottom line that counts.

Exactly.
One of the TV sales reps showed us how the process works - all done via their sales system on the computer. They start out with the base price for the model of home you want, put it on the lot of your choosing, click off all the boxes for all the things you want on/with the house, and out pops a total final cost at the end. The only way to get a pricing breakdown item by item is to have a very patient and willing sales rep - have them start with the base house, add the one thing you want a price for, then look at the final total. Back out the base price of the house and you'll know what that single item prices out at. You'd have to do this for each and every item that's checked off for the house - it would be a very long and arduous process. Do you want a different front door than the standard one? It might be more money. Same thing for faucet and cabinet hardware, etc., etc.
