One more item to consider, if you are planning on a security system, have the wiring for door and window alarms and cameras installed when the house is being built. We did this and it completely eliminated the need for wiring. This also allowed us to install our own security system, completely eliminating the very high cost some companies charge. It also eliminates the need for battery operated systems.
If you do this, also specify where you want all the cable run to. We did do this, all the wiring for the hard wired door and window contacts went to the master closet, while the Siamese cable for the powered cameras went to the den, not a major problem but controls are in 2 different rooms.
