We are in the process of building a home, and yesterday, our builder suggested we upgrade from 8 inch to 10 inch columns on our wrap around porch. The plan, which was designed specifically for us by an architect, calls for 8 inch columns. Our architect says he could go either way. He included 8 inch columns in the plan due to the double columns around the door. To be honest, we had not given column width one iota of though until our builder mentioned it. The cost to upgrade is about $1500. I'm leaning on the side of "doesn't seem worth it..." What do you think? Here is a rendering of our house:

And here is a current picture of the build:
