I wanted to get an estimate for a small pool in a small backyard, we are planning to put a fence and I wanted to have a pool done the same time if our budget can handle it time frame in a year or so. Thanks!

Does "open set back" mean your top floor wider and/or longer than your bottom floor and the floor of upstairs is cantilevered over the outside wall of the bottom floor? If you have a choice, I would not recommend you choose that type of plan. Installing heating duct and plumbing and gutter and even wiring in such plans can be more time consuming and costly and you lose some of the strength of the outside wall as well. I cannot read all the words on my screen, however, it is pretty obvious that your "lift" closet on one floor is NOT aligned with the wall of the stairs in the way it is on the other floor. I'm speculating that this "lift" is an elevator. You really need to have a conversation with your architect or builder -- perhaps even consider finding a new floor plan and a new architect or builder. Just glancing at the overall plan, you seem to have a lot of small rooms whereas a more open floor plan -- a great room rather than separate living and dining and kitchen space -- is more livable. Additionally, your small "common" upstairs area seems to be usable as little more than an unnecessarily large "hallway" space. You might consider other plans and ask questions of the builder from whom you're getting an estimate as to cost.

You can go for hard natural flooring for your common areas like hall, dining and stairs. For the rooms its up to your budget. There're so many choices like wooden flooring, Vitrified tiles. Marble flooring. For the bathroom you must go for anti skid floors which have there own specifications. For bathroom wall tiles market is full of choices .You can select as per your choice. About the colors in different areas, you should choose light and bright colors for your common areas. For the rooms, you can definitely play with different colors depending upon the who is accommodating the room and the interior theme. You can use wall papers and decals to highlight one of the wall in all the rooms.

Hello there, First, there is no such thing as a perfect design/ ideal design. It has to cater to your requirements and your perspective of aesthetics. Second, search for elevation ideas on houzz as per your preffered style (contemporary/ rustic/art deco/ Mediterranean etc.). Third, to save on money, get it designed in 3D along with material estimates, structural design etc. by an appropriate professional (design-build firms). Local contractors will often quote lower prices and escalate significantly as they build. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar 9078942136
