Hi, i am new rookie there. Is there anyone can give me some suggestions for selecting 'right' upgrades? I and my partner are going to deal with Metricon to build a special edition of 'glendale 42'. The layout is slightly different.pics shown blow
Need help for choosing necessary upgrades

If you want to duplicate the display home you will need to spend up to 50% more than the base price (see http://anewhouse.com.au/2013/08/love-the-display-home/)
For our last house we limited the upgrades to
Additional Power sockets
Nicer kitchen cupboard doors (But kept laminate counter)
Nicer Internal Doors.
A couple of Internal doors to make some areas a bit more private.
Overall we spent around $10,000 and were very happy with the result.
Structural things like higher ceilings. Bricks. Roof cladding. Insulation. Window location and size.
Add doors where you need doors.
Electrical to downstairs if building two storey.
If you have money left after those things look at "cosmetic" upgrades in order of how expensive they are to do after handover.
Structural changes 1st, then things you'll notice if you don't have, then cosmetic things.
