I am looking to build a custom home for an upcoming move. Any clever networking ideas to consider when building the house?

Two cables to each location, even if you do conduit. If you have an office planned, multiple network outlets in the room. Ethernet to the AV/TV locations, garage(s), patio/deck, front driveway, and any place you might want to surveil from (like - backyard looking towards the structure, for instance). Plan to wire everything that can be wired, leave wifi for the convenience and IoT stuff. Do a good study on locations for APs for optimal coverage.
