Dear TE,
you are definitely not the first to be shocked by the estimated costs. It was the same for us with every design. I also only wanted "standard." Classic 4-person bungalow, column entrance, podium bathtub (don’t ask me why), spacious bathroom with walk-in, angled shower, 2 accesses to the storage room, etc. The first general contractor laughed at me when I mentioned our budget. He laughed until he cried! It dawned on me then that my "standard" was far from reality. So we readjusted until we landed on our budget.
Note: I only got my walk-in (not angled) shower.
