THey want to try and make it "fit" now. grrrr. I dont want my house squeezed onto a lot - and have a tiny ass yard. However, I have to make every dollar stretch too ya know, I'm not rich.
I dont know what I will do.
This could be cake.
The house - is it one of their "typical models" that they build?
Did you pick one out of say 5/6 styles?
And then pick out your lot?
Work with a salesperson, their architect and the "color" person to select your interior elements?

Have meeting with the salesperson and the architect - ultimately all the sites have already been reviewed as to which house can fit onto which lots and the sales person is already aware of this before they sell you.
Sometimes they flip the house (left/right mirror image) to make it fit but all these adjustments are discussed before the house & plot is up for sale.
Now when you alter the house and change the footprint of the house (like add two feet to over all depth or width of the house) it is the responsibility of the building company to file the new site plan to make sure all the set backs are straight up.
You have the right to be firm about it and depending on the changes they have to make (although inches could be something you won't notice) to fix the envelope you could tell them you want a land upgrade at their cost.
(The color people are the ones that let you select from almond, bone or white fixture in your baths and kitchen, your carpet, wood choices, stone & tile, blad,blah,blah and of course your "extras" bill - who does it and what their title must vary.)
