[QUOTE="nickf2005, post: 16264783, member: 136350"] Service door to the garage Utility sink in garage LED lighting Internet connected garage doors I'm not sure about AC to the garage, but at least see if you can do an exhaust fan Dedicated circuit in garage for beer fridge/meat freezer Opt for taller than standard (7ft) garage doors... Go 8 foot. If PEX plumbing, Water manifold (we cheaped out and I regret not doing this) Make sure your amp service will allow for expansion (shop, pool, etc) Elongated toilets everywhere. No whimsy round ones your butt can barely fit on. PM me if you want to talk plumbing fixtures (faucets/showers), but builders usually have contracts with certain brands. Security floods on all 4 corners, on switches. If it has a covered porch you're going to grill on, exhaust fan. Don't cheap out on windows. Floor drains in garage (some building codes won't allow this) Skip the tub in master and do a bigger walk in shower - be sure to put an exhaust fan directly in shower (builder talked us out of this and I regret) Run Cat 5 or 6 everywhere you want wired service If you have a basement, make sure the door opens into a room and not a hallway and keep mechanicals away from master bedroom if it's on the first floor. (top 2 regrets) I'm sure I'll think of more as time goes on. We did a fully custom house in 2015 and learned some lessons, but overall I'm very happy. We'll likely be here forever.
