Hi Derek & Ruvani,
You had your structural & decor meeting (both) done for your Tothburg? We have our structural meeting come up in December, don't know yet when we'll have our decor one. I had some questions in regards to upgrades. Ann wasn't able to answer them she said to wait until we have our meeting with our design consultant on these type of upgrades, which might not be until next year for the non-structural changes (we have a late closing). If you (or anyone else) already had their upgrade meeting and knows the answers to any of these please reply! Thanks!!
(1) Price of wooden hood fan above the stove. I'm not sure what this is called. In the model you can see this. Here's a picture at
http://rick.dilorenzo.com/ModelKitchen4.jpgI know standard is the metal white fan (looks ugly I think). But in models and design center, usually show this wooden one.
(2) For Tothburg C, what is the Aya Cabinet upgrade prices for door group series 5, 6, 7 & 8 ? On the kitchen price list it only lists the prices up to 3rd upg (group 4)
(3) The aya cabinet upgrade price sheet didn't list any pricing for the moulding or valances on the kitchen cabinets? Are these prices known for Tothburg?
(4) The kitchen island in the tothburg model looks different than the standard island. Basically in model the island also has shelves in the back,drawers in the front, and on the side there is also cabinet door style faces? I assume these 3 things (open shelves in back, drawers in front, door facing on sides) are all upgrades? Here is a picture of it, it's 600k though

(5) Are there prices for the fireplace wood mantle/moldings? I know standard is some ceramic tiles around the fire place. But in the model and design center also have wood finishing on the sides and top of the fireplace? But what are the prices for the wood finishing/mantles around the ceramic tiles?
(6) In the model of the Tothburg it shows the Ensuite bathroom (the big one that has 2 cabinets/sinks one on each side) with big wall mirrors that start from the sink level and go up to the ceiling, and are also wide across covering the whole wall. But in reading what is standard I realize that this must be an upgrade? Standard seems to be smaller mirrors that are only above the 2 sinks. What's the upgrade price for the larger mirror like in the model's ensuite bathroom?
(7) Upgrade price for the cellar in the basement of the Tothburg C ?
( 8 ) For KC/C20U153 (Install Open-end upper shelf cabinet (angled) what is the price for non-standard cabinets (i.e. door group series 5 to 8 ). Same question for KC/C20U150 Install upper angled corner cabinet.
(9) In the Tothburg model the stairs going to the basement is open with a little foyer in the basement area. What is the upgrade cost or options for this? I've heard anything between $10k to $20k??!
(10) what type of halogen pot lights are used? 12 volts? AC or DC ?Doesn't say, it lists the prices but not the details of the quality of the bulbs.
(11) What are the costs of carpet runners when/if you upgrade the stairs to all wood. I know the upgrade prices for stairs already to oak, maple etc but not for adding a carpet runner on top.
(12) the tothburg C comes standard with vaulted/elevated ceiling in the ensuite bathroom and one of the bedrooms correct??
(13) What type of window seat is standard in the tothburg c? Is it different than the window seat in the model? the upgrade price list has prices to add a window seat, but I know our model already comes with one, just not sure what it will look like.
(14) what are the price(s) of undermounted sinks? On the price list it has CO/GRA/UMB which is cost to undermount a sink in a granite countertop. but it mentions that the upgrade to the actual sink must be ordered seperately?
(15) what are prices for backsplashes in the kitchen? Someone mentioned there was a standard price if we wanted the backsplash the same tile as the floor? and other prices for the different backsplashes shown in the design center?
(16) For 7" cornice mouldings, what's the price range per running foot to have this installed in the house? I realize there is a selection of different
cornice moldings at the design center, just trying to found out the range of prices for 7" size cornice mouldings. (better to do this later with an outside contractor after we move in, but still want to know the prices for mattamy-upgrades).
(17) In the Garage, is there there an upgrade for eletronic garage door openor's with remotes?
