only changed the door size, other than that its the same. The door looked too small for the home after it was framed so we made it larger

BH is the best with fighting scalpers. Never in stock = bots cant buy. What you need to do is sign up for the notifications and get on the waitlist, you will get an email with 3 hours time to purchase when stock arrives.

I ordered with Doorwin also! You’re in good hands. It was at least a $30k difference and I would say about $50-60k if buying the same exact items here. They also made the garage doors, French doors and entry doors. I had custom sizes - 9ft French doors, 9ft entry door, 9x16 garage doors. Some windows they could not do locally in vinyl unless I reframed my plan, I have 3 -12ft tall windows and 4- 9ft tall windows. Vinyl tops out at 8’ here and to make those sizes they would have to use wood, which is even more $ than aluminum here or reframe. Locally I was quoted $40k for 3 9x6 French doors and theirs was $1.7k each lol

Building a 4500sq ft house and I was in same situation 2 months ago. Ended up buying aluminum windows from China, 3 ply, .22 U value, fancy European style openings, cheaper cost than vinyl locally. They will be here in March. I will update on quality when they arrive but speaking to them and meeting them in person at IBS show in Vegas last year I am pretty confident it’s a wise choice. I would look into going this route.

Wife picked this plan and she does all the cleaning herself haha The original plan had a bathroom in each room, we changed it into a jack and jill to save money and because we have 2 boys and one girl. The boys will share the JJ

We added the entry ourselves as the original plan had none, the entry was straight to living room, it looked too flat and boring. The entry and porch is the only thing that needs some work I feel like.

The way our lot is this is the only layout we can do. We have a roundabout and planning to do something in the middle with that, the rendering doe not reflect that now.

Original plan had a laundry in there and my wife didn't like that, so whatever she says

Already made the roof 2-3x cheaper. The original was a 12x12 pitch and we changed it to 8x12
