I just built a house last year so I've been through this. Here are a couple recomendations(not necesarily to save money):
1) Get the wider garage doors not the standard size. I have a third car garage with a 10' door (standard is 8). It's ok but I would put in a 13 foot wide door if I could do it again.
2) I rasied the garage opening on all bays to 8 ft and I lengthened the 3rd to 25 feet to accomodate a big dually.
3) Wire 220 and a gas line to the back yard for a Jacuzzi and BBQ pit and just cap them.
4) Might as well put cat 6 in the house.
5) Phone jacks in every room
6) TV jacks definately think about where you want the tv to go. Family room, office, master bedroom, master bath etc...
7) Carpet - We upgraded the carpet padding but kept the standard carpet. The padding will increase the standard carpets longevity. We are not living in the house so we kept the cheapo carpet.
