We will be going to our Design meeting in November - we were fortunate to be the LAST ones to secure a lot -in Gilchrist- for a custom build a couple weeks ago, a few hours before it became Spec-only. Hopefully the house will be done in Feb 2014. A few questions for you folks that have gone through the Design/selection experience:

1. I'm going to move 3 ceiling fans from my current home (they are very nice ones...) - will they allow us to NOT have the standard fans installed and get a credit?

2. We've been thru quite a few Specs - and the standard carpeting is..not very good. We do want laminate thru most of the Living and bedroom areas - are the Developer prices for laminate outrageous - ie, should we get the standard carpet and have laminate installed later...

3. Similar question, but re landscaping - I love digging and installing...can I get a credit for less landscaping (or none...) and do it all myself after?
Just not sure how flexible the Developer is to all this -and no doubt why they are now Spec-only, to eliminate the individual customer and use their designers.
We are SO looking forward to TV! I live in a 55+ comm in Leesburg after moving to FL 8 years ago. TV came out #3 on my list back then - but after moving, and every time we'd go to TV...I'd kick myself. But BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! Planning to get a Holly designer home. Thanks for your help and the great TOTV site.
