Number one in my book for building would be to make sure to take advantage of any available "bump outs". Well worth the additional cost.
Examples;
Bump out of any Den, making it a 3rd bedroom. Bump out of Lanai (big deal here), and garage, sides etc.
This is where you will get the biggest bang for your buck. There will be lot restrictions, but it will also help you choose the lot that will fit you for what you want.
