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

I’d go nuts with conduit.

  You bat me to it.
  
  I have no idea what tomorrow brings, but some conduit through every wall will let me do whatever I want.
  
  And I’d go with as large as I can fit in the wall.
