Having built ourselves, two things pop to mind that I wish we had done:
1) More outlets, imagine what you will need and 1.5-2x those
2) More outdoor light fixtures for back yard
One of my best decisions was to insulate all sleeping quarters and our downstairs tv area with the safe-and-sound Roxul insulation. Doesn't completely kill noise, but you can barely hear the other rooms when doors are closed.
