My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Just because the trend may be opening up spaces doesn't mean you have to do it. Stay true to your home and to yourself. ( read comments.)
