Other things to consider:

Minor changes can be made in almost any home. The key to making successful changes is timing. Prior to the start of construction most requested changes can be made at a small incremental price. Changes after the start of construction can become costly, so make sure you ask about the things that are important to you. The items listed below can be added to your home for a cost, but these decisions have to made prior to the start of construction.

You may also want to consider upgrading your home to an Energuide 80 standard, with 2 lb spray in place insulation, triple pane windows with a heat recovery unit. A propane option may also be to your liking with forced air heating, with propane a kitchen range, fireplace and BBQ, or add radiant heat floors in the kitchen or entry. All of these things can save you money in the future and provide a higher resale value for you.
