Recently entered a contract to build with DR Horton...what a mistake! after $70000 in upgrades I asked for a price breaskdown on 1 item.

This request was refused several times assuring me they couldnt justify the outrageo0us prices they charge. They get $680 for a sink upgrade that you can purchase at RETAIL for $260 and NO credit for the one they include with the home in which they never even buy. this lead me to google DR Horton review wher I found millions of consumer complaints including a website called DRHORTONSUCKS.com.. buyer beware!

NEVER a REFUND!! DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU ATTORNEY REVIEW!

Good Luck! DR HORTON is heartless...not the "American" builder they claim to be.

We are buying as 2260 sf dr horton. I love it, the upgrades are wonderful.

Beautiful detail Inside.

I would highly recommend. Everything is on paper so you know what you are getting.

don't you think all builders have a huge markup on options and upgrades? There are several reasons for this: The retail price you quoted, was it from Home Depot by any chance?

Large box stores are obviously going to have a better price because they have more buying power (worldwide in HD's case) plus you are only paying for the product not for the labor. Not only does the builder;s cost include the product, it includes the labor and warranty. Plus, if by chance that sink were to get damaged during construction, the builder would have to replace it - at their expense.

More than likely you did get a small credit but it just wasn't listed.

Yeah, that is how most builders make the bulk of their money. The base price for the house is usually enough to cover materials and labor.

It is ridiculous. Just don't get upgrades that won't raise the value of the house proportionate to what you put in.
