So we decided we wanted the Sorrento, and we wanted the the finished basement. This neighborhood is a little different than other Ryan Communities i have read about in other blogs. In an effort to "simplify" the build process they decided to make standard a number of popular selections, and create packages to upgrade the kitchen and floors incrementally. The bad news is you can't deviate from the package. You want the white cabinets? You have to buy the premier holy crap level package at 20k! We didn't do that. Standard package gives base cabinets, carpet, it does have upgraded padding standard, and vynal floors. Because this neighborhood is so hot, all we got was 3k for closing costs, no other incentives. So, our options were:
Finished basement. 25k
Two car garage. 5k (standard concrete driveway, free belt drive garage door opener,yay)
Upgraded garage door. 450
Hardwood main level. 5k
Owners bathroom. 5k
Basement bathroom rough in. 1800
Elevation c with stone 6500
Kitchen island. 1495
4 ceiling fan rough ins.900
Trex decking stairs from upstairs to back yard. 3395.00
Standard package, but we got hardwood down stairs
Our elevation, but forward garage. We choose black shutters and red door
Grey siding
3 option is our stone choice
It looks like your selection process, was much like ours. I'm not sure if this is something new that they are rolling out but so many others have talked about multiple appointments for flooring and with Guardian for electrical, we did as y'all did and selected a package that included everything.
ReplyDeleteYea wasn't totally thrilled about being pushed into the package options,but compared to our first house it does stream line things. You will still have your wiring meeting with whom ever your area contracts, we did, just didn't get anything outside our allotted connections

DeleteHi David, the packages is such an interesting process considering we picked our selections separately; we were able to upgrade individual items if we wished. I wonder if the different processes is in regard to regions. Love your selections and can't wait to see the finished product! -Mary Louise
ReplyDeleteYea it seems like something they are rolling out gradually, I suspect the price point of the neighborhood plays a part too.
