If you are going to build next summer, spend the winter researching all the things like property line setbacks, eaves projections, elevations, utilities(like who to contact and how much lead time). If you aren't doing it yourself you still may want to know these things when you are shopping for a contractor. If you are on a steep hill the biggest expense will be concrete, but it also means fewer walls so easier to DIY.
If possible, make get 100A to the garage to wire for EV's. I had to move my overhead to the house as it was in the way of the garage, so it made sense to do 200A to the garage, then underground to the house with 100A off of that. You want to know this stuff before pouring concrete. And if you want heat, get the trench for the gas line dug at the same time.
