Today was the first day of my design meeting. It went very well, and my designer was very helpful in making some suggestions and going through each point on my spreadsheet. We accomplished a lot! If you are building a designer, I feel there are ample electrical outlets in each of the rooms. A floor outlet is standard, and there is cable for each major room (bedrooms,living area, lanai, kitchen). Also phone jacks. Two fans included on the lanai for the Lantana. Lighting fixtures for the dining area, nook and foyer. I elected to extend and bump and stretch as much as possible now while in build mode. I chose my granite from the granite yard, picked interior and exterior colors, tile, wood, etc. Your design agent will go over with you what is base and what is extra. There were many inclusions that I was not expecting as well. I did add more outlets to the bathrooms and laundry room. I also added a wing wall to the front entry.
A-4: the insulation is bat R-30. And there are hurricane straps for the roof. Also a combo of 2X4 and 2x6 studs, both wood and steel. Guess that's it for now!
