New-build upgrades
Do now. Compare first. Or leave it until later.
The best upgrade decision is often about timing before it is about price. WikiHomeSpec separates retrofit difficulty from the question of whether the builder quote itself is good value.
CHECK MY OPTIONS →Timing and supplier are different decisions
An extra socket can be a clear DO NOW because adding it later may mean opening finished walls — while the builder price can still be COMPARE FIRST if it looks excessive.
Finishes deserve a different test
Wardrobes, blinds, landscaping and many appliance choices are normally easier to source after completion. That makes specification and price comparison more important.
Your household changes the answer
A family moving in immediately may value day-one readiness much more than a buyer with two empty weeks before removals. The same quote can reasonably produce a different decision.
