building a house (buying new Constr.)

[fly boy]

After the house is done and you close there are still costs a lot of people do not plan for; landscaping, window coverings, appliances that were not included, to name a few.

Very good point! We have asked some of the questions and our appliances are going to be included in the build, we would have limited selection of color of carpet/hardwoods/granite etc. but a fence for a backyard would be extra, not included in the "house sell" but could hire them at the time of build to put in a fence at the same time.

Updated first post. We decide to take the leap and build! Now keep up the good ideas that I will need to be concerned with as we negotiate the next few days.
