advice - any stretches you want, add now!! we stretched all bedrooms in our designer and happy we did. Any lighting look at good. We added recessed lighting in our ceilings so as not to worry about lamps, and having difficulty seeing as we age. also added recessed on lanai so we can sit outside at night and read!! love it. thinking of pool? make sure no lines running under your property. we put pool in. best thing we ever did. Fans you can install youself if not included. Upgrade your garbage disposal if your using often. You might want to upgrade your dishwasher also if standard. Think if you want windows in your bathrooms. (I love windows in bathrooms) gets fresh air in. Flooring , your countertops, you can always upgrade later. However if getting carpet installed make sure they vacuum before they lay it down. Hubby and I were shocked when we pulled our carpet up. It was filthy underneath. Most important advice, keep an eye on home as it's being built.!! they can and do make mistakes as they build quickly here. Good Luck and hope this helped!!
