Hope stock is up by the end of the year, otherwise we're losing gain 
Not a good idea to stay home vacation to look at the red market.
Do an estimate and compare cost: DIY 1/3 cost, Builder is 3/3, hire someone else do later is between 2/3-3/3
What a nut. They're out of their mind or something. A standard bathtub cost around $800-$1200 or an elegant modern cost max $3000, how did they come up with 15k?
What a rip off. Usually, they have both options in standing shower or bathtub in the floor plan, and all the water drainage lines are the same, it's not like they have to redesign and permit to change. Remodel the whole bathroom costs 15k-20k. I guess they will give you a gold coat bathtub 
By looking at the balcony and the living room, it seems the master bed on top the the living room, and the balcony size probably 8ft, not that big. 40k is really expensive. May cost 20k to build later. Get a dimension, then have someone to estimate the cost that you want to build exactly in the picture.
8ft spacing on each side is big, good enough. 5ft is standard. Should be alright with 2 story.
If you have 10-12ft walls, 6" baseboard looks better. Otherwise, they may install a 3" standard which make the room look small.
Have you ever consider this kind of fireplace below? Cheaper and can move anywhere. Wonder if you ever using gas fireplace before, it would cost a lot for a few hours to heat the family room. 10K for a chimney fireplace is fine but if it attach to the wall then 10k is too much.

Any plan to have home theater prewire (no speakers)? It would be hard later to run wires for 2 story home. I had to cut holes here and there in order to run the audio wires around the house. If you want, check with them for 9.1 channels audio prewire to see how much it cost, where it needs 2 speakers in the back of sofa, 2 on the ceiling right at the sofa, 1 left and 1 right at the sofa for surround.
