With the exception of structural and grass, everything else is possible. However, I even saw where someone built a standard house and it was less to have added sq ft later.
Examples of at least 30-50% less aftermarket are: front door sidelights, landscape, granite/corian countertops, tile flooring, appliances, even pools.
Be aware too. Doors and walls CAN be moved if not a bearing wall. For example, on the IRIS, we put the door on the laundry room versus the hallway to the kitchen. Light switches can be moved. Most are not mentioned and they tell you no many times, but not true. Good luck

Thanks for the info. I have to think about that moving the door on the laundry. I've also saw a newer floor plan for the Iris that loses the space across from the laundry room. They have taken that area and made it the HVAC closet with access off the garage. Not usre if I like losing that ineriour aera as I had intended on putting extra cabinets in that space.
