I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?

Currently, I have my house being set up for Lutron RA2 lights

Putting 18/2 for speakers in each rooms

One cat5e by each room for a tablet/intercom

Cat5e for cameras

22/2 for Door/window contacts by all exterior doors and windows

smurftube by every room (where the intercom is for future growth).

18/2 by windows where I may want power shades.

What else am I missing?

Thank you

    One suggestion I haven’t seen is a 30 Amp outlet for the location of your server/media room. Most of the good UPS brands have moved to NEMA L5-30 (120v) or L6-30 (240v) for their higher-end lines. Have your contractor run a single 10/3 Romex to that room and wire it for 120v by essentially just caping the extra conductor in the panel and box so that you can change over to 240, in the future, if needed.
