What would you do differently in your next house build? (For us, there won’t be a next time, but I think beginners can benefit from our experience.) Please stay on topic and avoid lengthy discussions (feel free to start a new thread for that)!
I’ll start:
* Electrician: A network connection in every room isn’t necessary; nowadays everyone uses Wi-Fi, which is perfectly sufficient.
* Us: OK, then we’ll install one network connection per floor where the TV is going, you have to save somewhere.
* Result: At the network outlet, we get 50 Mbit/s, Wi-Fi with a repeater around 20, sometimes only about 5, Powerline adapters around 25. It’s enough for me, but the kids are disappointed. I followed all the usual advice.

Here are a few things that come to mind that I would do differently next time:
- consider connecting the (utility) basement to the mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (better indoor air quality)
- plan the garden right from the start: we had to bring in more soil because too much excavation material was removed
- include more electrical outlets in the plan and especially plan more precisely where each appliance will be located

Not build.
Joking aside, I would take photos (which I did), but from every corner and at every stage of the construction process—before and after each trade.
During and after construction, there are scratches, dents, and dirt on windows, doors, plaster... Of course, no one caused those.
