A couple of helpful hints.
Put heavy gauge PVC pipe under driveway (capped on both ends) in a couple of locations in case you ever want to run power or water to other side...
Switched electrical outlets under soffits is nice.
Hose bib on every exterior wall...we purchased our home and there is no hose bib in the back yard...
I added a roll up door for exterior entry to my shop area in my garage, easy access for the mower.
I wish I had sink and hot/cold water on my patio...again, we purchased the home and this is something they failed to install...I will have it next time.
I agree with the transfer switch, so easy to do during construction.

Speaking of this. Run a large PVC pipe down the wall where you are going to connect the majority of your devices. Also put one in the wall behind the TV. Will save your life when technology upgrades and you have to repull wires.
