He should be considering what the actual insulating value of the walls and ceiling space is going to be.
Most manufacturers have a system calculator that takes this into consideration as well as window size/type and insulating values and ventilation requirements/infiltration.
A new home with tight construction and great insulation is much easier to cool and keep cool. Curtain and blinds can also make a huge difference in the required tonnage.
