Go to your township building inspector. Different township rules can greatly vary.
If you have a garage or laundry room, you may consider putting a sink in both. It's really handy to have when you have been working outside and want to clean up before going into the house.
As for electrical, you definitely want electrical outlets on your outside walls, front and back and on the side. The garage you want extra outlets and a 220 volt dryer outlet. Even if you don't put a dryer there, you may want to run a 220 volt device there.
Inside you want electrical outlets on every wall, and if you have built in bookshelves or cabinets, you want outlets near them as well for computers,television, or lighting.
And finally, have the builder put in extra fluorescent lights in the garage.
Most electrical outlets in a house are determined by the National Electrical Code and the interpretation of the electrician who wires your house.
