Hello!

On a weekly basis you should recieve a job update.  In the update it should let you know if the schedule has changed due to weather, delievery issues, or product delay.  One thing we have done is we set up a picture account.  We take before pictures of a project and then update the photo album every week or two depending on how much progress you are able to see in the photo.  Also we take specific photos of items requested by customers. 

The key is to have good communication!

Good Luck!

The features can depend on the location of the home being built.  As a contractor in Florida many features that are common can be centered around indoor/outdoor living.  Having not only a pool but living area, dinining area, and kitchen. Pools with a built in bar and seating. 

Consider your interest and center a feature around it.  We have recently done a wine room with glass door and window to view from kitchen.  In another home we did built in bunk beds along one wall in the tv room for sleep overs.
