Damn. That builder was unusual. Normally the actual cost has almost nothing to do with the price of the substitution. I know one subdivision where standard kitchen cabinets cost builder ~$25K. If you wanted kitchen without cabinets, you got a $1k credit. If you wanted upgraded cabinets, it was easy to get a six figure bill for upgraded cabinets.

Way back when I was involved in That industry the smart money took all standard items and lived with them then had them redone in a few years. The pricing for upgrades was more than just getting the house finished and doing them on your own later.

Smart buyers limit upgrades at purchase to things that are impossible to do later. Higher ceiling heights, deeper basement, etc.
