Some more thoughts.

-Expand your garage to atleast 24 x 24 if possible.
-Water lines to garage (nice for washing the dog or car)
-Sink in laundry room
-Add blocking (2x6) around the windows during framing so you can hang sheers/curtain rods
-Add blocking if you have a large mirror or painting that you wish to hang
-agree with poster above regarding raising basement ceilings (makes a huge difference)
-if possible try to get a 9' garage door opeing
-soffit plug (most builders do this) for x-mas lights with a switch inside
-buy a slide in Gas range (controls on the front), looks nice
-Get the builder to rough in a garborator switch above counter and install garb yourself
-If you have an island pay the $150 or whatever to install a plug (wish we had done that)
-Make your wife sign a waiver regarding changing exteriors colors after you move in
