Decided to Build a New Home?  Here are some helpful suggestions and common mistakes when building a new home. 

• Exhaust fans in all bathrooms including entry and basement
• Windows or Peep holes in the front and back doors
• Electrical outlets at various elevations for outside use, such as christmas decor, deck lighting, etc...
• Enough of a roof overhang at the front entry so guests can get out of the rain
• Electrical outlets on the kitchen island
• No breezeway or shelter protection from a detached garage to the house
• Windows placement in rooms which don't allow furniture placement in bedrooms and living areas
• HVAC venting directly under windows, this is both a condensation issue as well as future restriction for a doorway or expansion hallway
• Utilities such as HVAC ductwork and plumbing in the basement directly in the middle or in direct access areas.  This creates a choppy layout for future design in the basement.
• Enough storage space
• More electrical outlets in the garage (workbench area with adequate breaker support)
• Surround sound pre-wiring in designated areas
• Stairway lighting for steps
