What strikes me about this thread is that build time is usually a time
of needing to cut costs, not to splurge on everything you dont need. I
would therefore take a 2 phase approach. Work out what you ideally
want, but only put in the things that need to go in, plus the things
that will enable the rest to be put in some other day.

Yes, but yu need to put everything in teh walls and teh ground that you
might want at a futire datye, in there now.
And you DON'T want to have to e.g. hange windows.

So all pipes and wires and drains, have to be right for now, and for a
long time to come.

And it helps to put ****loads of insulation everywhere. (except round
the founations, which is ********, put it under teh floor).

BTW you only need 2" of height for isolated ceilings, the 2x3 or 2x4
for the ceiling can go between the floor joists. Fibreglass or similar
on the ceiling will damp resonance and improve sound deadening
significantly too.
