Many thanks for all the responses. Our rep has been very good at trying to assist us. We have chatted with several non TV suppliers for items such as granite, appliances & pools, but we can't even gwet ballpark figures from TV to compare.
We would prefer to one-stop-shop and have TV do everything but we need to research and compare to ensure we get the most for our dollars.
We are also from overseas so there is an aditional learning curve. We will be in town for 4 days so that doesn't leave us much time to coordinate with outside suppliers, if necessary.
If I knew in advance that the grade granite we want is approx. a $10K upgrade from TV, and our outside source is quoting a similar price, then I can tick that off as a TV supplied item. The pool is going to be the most expensive option but we can't even get a ballpark even after submitting sketches of our ideas.
I guess I'll have to bring a flask of Dark n' Stormies to help me through the process!
