I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?

Currently, I have my house being set up for Lutron RA2 lights

Putting 18/2 for speakers in each rooms

One cat5e by each room for a tablet/intercom

Cat5e for cameras

22/2 for Door/window contacts by all exterior doors and windows

smurftube by every room (where the intercom is for future growth).

18/2 by windows where I may want power shades.

What else am I missing?

Thank you

    5e? 6a minimum not much price difference. We all already running multigig to AP’s. Really go with a recessed and keystones with smurf tube back to your wiring closet.

    Where are the TV’s and displays. They need some Cat6a as well. Data and don’t forget hdmi over twisted pair.

    22/2 for Door/Window sensors why not /4 in case you need a second contact run or something powered. I did conduit to the window and doors it’s an easy place to access already used one to get an extra camera run. Takes care of the power shades as well.
