There are a couple things you should be aware of when wanting to build a house understanding what's standard and what's extra is an important one so you know exactly what your getting for your money.

The way to this is simply ask the builder about amenities and upgrades. Amenities are features that benefit the entire community like a
clubhouse, health and fitness center or a gated entrance. Upgrades refer to
added features or items you pay extra for to enhance your home, like certain
types of flooring or appliances.
Get a feature sheet from the builder you're interested in and read it very carefully, then compare feature
to feature. Find out what comes with the base home price.
If you don't understand exactly what
the builder is offering, ask and take notes. There are no dumb questions. Not
knowing can cost you real money. At Echelon homes we offer a numerous standard features that other builders only offer as upgrades check out how we compare HERE!

Some things to keep in mind:
- If the stove is included, visit the showroom to see the
model. If you're offered the basic stove and you're a gourmet cook, it
makes sense to buy the upgrade.
- Make decisions on upgrades early in the process --
every change costs money.
- Have a good idea of what you need and want. They are
two different things when it comes to upgrades.
- Builders rake in the cash on upgrades because they can
get parts and labor relatively cheaply. The markup is huge, so investigate
each option you're considering to see whether it would be cheaper to bid
it out after you move in.
- Builders, in general, need to sell quickly to make a profit. If you're stuck haggling over price, get them to throw in the upgrades you want at a reduced cost or for free -- it's a way to get more value that's appealing to both sides.
