36” or more insulation in the attic
Typo? 36"of Pink Panther would be over R-100!

Those waist high horizontal handicap bars in the shower are real fun if your ol lady is small enough to set on top of it. You can really get some leverage  That trick sex in the shower gonna get you hurt!

I didn't build mine but bought it a year after it was custom built. What I love that the builder did: Spray foam everywhere All LED lighting everywhere inside and out Tinted windows all around (makes a huge difference combo'd with the spray foam) NG instant hot water heater HUGE shop (40' x 50') - I would have done more electrical in it, but the panel has the capacity to do more. He also added water and a toilet too, so that's a huge bonus. Deep back porch that is shaded all day long - makes for a great place to hang out even in August heat! Saltwater pool (my addition after buying the house - LOVE IT) Cat5/6 and HDMI outlets in all rooms Security Cameras all around Long/wide driveway that I can turn around in easily
What I would add - emergency backup generator. This is next on my project list and probably the last thing I want/need beside to finish insulating my shop. You can at least at the transfer switch now and then run a portable generator in emergencies at a minimum to power what you need.

Most have already been said probably but....
Cat 6 cables ran to every room, safe room, 10’ wide garage doors atleast if using singles, go ahead and install a transfer switch for generator, under ground gutters if needed, and large pvc pipe under sidewalk or drive for future use. We added insulation in some interior walls for sound deadening. After electrical and plumbing is roughed in, but before Sheetrock go through and video and take pictures for future reference. This has came in handy a lot. I also put plywood behind the Sheetrock on a wall that I planned on hanging deer heads on, allows me to move them around without a stud. Prewire for security cameras. We installed a floodlight switch behind the night stand at the bed...easy access to switch on at night. Large living room, decent size pantry and closets were big on our list.
