@mattclark thanks so much for the great info very helpful! I trust my builder I just wanted to make sure the allowances are ok. Do you have photos of the stoneleigh cottage you built? 

he said he don't have the price!! I don't know I was thinking he should know the price as well.

He told me tonight he was still waiting on the price for our front door but he ordered without knowing the price? 

Should the builder know how much the windows and exterior door cost after he orders it? He can't give me a amount on the doors yet? 

He gave me a price of 5200 for the windows and this is not suppose to include labor.

The plumbing fixtures are only for faucets. SS sink is provided and tub/shower combo and garden tub in master. 

Hey guys!! I am currently in the process of building a custom home for 320k in Raleigh,NC.

The sq ft of the home is 1975 and with the add on of a bonus the total is 2343 and also a screened in porch 18x12.

It's a cape cod style home from frank betz "stoneleigh cottage" look it up if you can! We are getting board and Batton and shake and stone as exterior siding. It's a 3 bedroom home with 2 1/2 bath. 

We are getting upgraded kitchen with built in microwave and oven and gas range. We have a septic tank and City water. Soil class is a 4 our backyard soil was not good for septic tank so it has to go in front yard. We also have a crawl space! 

Are the allowances priced right? He also stated we can move money around what we don't use to put something into something else.
