Really be careful on the materials you select for your home. There are the standards but you can upgrade and that is where you can really get caught up in all your emotions. The salespeople will tell you that one material is better than the other but really think about what you like,what you want, but base it all on what you really need and can use. This will save you time and money on that particular part of the process.
Also beware of your building timeline as delays are often occuring during the process. Materials run short or they receive defective materials or someone cracks or chips the surface but installs the product anyway. Or loan issues surface usually when the Underwriter requests more personal information. Make sure they let you do mini walkthroughs during the building of your home. That way you see the work in progress,take note of where there might be a problem and just notice everything. It helps to observe when you can.
