I have found that many homes wired to code fail to have outlets, etc. located where they are most useful. It used to be that you had to have an outlet within 3 feet of a door and every 10 feet after that. Too many outlets end up behind the middle of the couch or bed and not in the best place for access after furniture is in place. Do your best to envision furniture and countertops and their placement and use. Both ends of the couch, both sides of a bed, etc.. Also, don't put too many outlets on an single circuit in a kitchen or shop area.

I like wired better than wireless in every case. If you have any locations where you want security cameras I would provide for them in addition to televisions, computers, and other electronics. In particular I would include cat6 to locations where you would have flood lights etc. on the outside of your house to provide for future POE cameras. Make sure that your ethernet runs go back to a place that is suitable as a wiring closet including appropriate space for rack mounting nas, media server, video network controller or other hardware you may desire. The wiring closet should also be where cable, phone, fiber, etc. come in and are distributed to the rest of the home/property.
