I believe you can bump out and expand as much as your lot will allow. I sent a list of all our requested changes to our sales agent a few weeks prior to our design meetings and she was able to get them all pre-approved and gave us an estimate of cost for each change. A 2FT stretch through the MBR, LR, Nook was $4K. A 6 FT stretch through the area behind the MBR bath, dining room/foyer and garage was $12.5K. A 4 FT stretch through the nook, kitchen and pantry (former laundry room) was $10K (this allows island in kitchen and two extra kitchen cabinets). Keep in mind that the costs of stretches are determined by what needs to be moved or supported in the area being stretched. Hope this info helps. Send a PM if anyone needs specific details.
