Congratulations. not sure on the floors we have been using real bamboo  and in our other high end home it will be heart of pine.. not familiar with Houzzcabinets were ordered  counter tops were custom concrete though.. house is 4 stories and what makes it special is it will be the last one built that can be that tall in that area they changed the code right after we were permitted Charleston is challenging you need the height to get the sq ft in the house that house is still only 1700 sq ft.. you have to build up out of flood zone in that area so you cant go under and first level has to be parking so now you can only do two floors above garage.. and because the lots were created back when the US was created basically they are all tiny 20 to 30 feet wide 50 to 80 feet deep.. so it going to be interesting going forward.. basically going to be pretty tough to have anything over about 1500 sq ft.

No special privileges requested, just knowledge and understanding.
