Sounds like you found a potential winner! Can't wait to see what the house will look like. You shouod see if you can take construction pics, especially before sheetrock goes up.
I think the list you have is a good start. You may want to try putting higher R-value insulation than R-19 for the walls (if it's available). I would also look into installing the mounts for the solar panels, that way, the roof won't need to be messed with during solar installation. Another good idea would be the heating/cooling PEX tubing in the ground before landscaping (the name of that project escapes me ATM). Radiant floors would be really, if you're in a cold region. This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure others here will have some other great ideas.
Where are you residing?
