I would recommend typing up an addendum listing everything you know you want in the house and expect to be included in the bid, no matter how small you might think it is. Make sure the contractor includes it in his bid and it is included as written in the contract you sign

Absolutely this. First time building and didn’t think to make sure heaters were in bathrooms. It’s a huge deal to my wife not having one and I regret not catching it. Also trusted my contractor to put quality shitters in since my allowance was 800$ For 3 toilets. Nope, we were out of town and he put the cheapest 100$ toilets you can imagine in. So have everything in writing down to the tiniest of details. He also tried to charge me for a brick column on the back porch. Thank god it was in the plans so he had to kick rocks on charging me extra for that.
