Any home builders, contractors, construction workers, or people who have build a house out there?

Q. Getting ready to build a new home. Have hired an architect to draw the plans for us. We know that the house is going to be a 2-story "farmhouse" as it is being built on quite a bit of land. We have 2 small children under the age of 7. We built the home that we currently live in now without much thought and research and I hate it. It id definitely NOT kid-friendly. I want to really RESEARCH this home before we have our second meeting with architect, so I am asking this question again. IS there anything that anyone has in their house that they love, that they hate, AND is there anyting that we should consider or building specifications that we should use in construction our new home. I want to have EVERYTHING in order before we break ground! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU!

A. 1.Stairs and kids don't go together, put a landing half way
2.A farm house has a porch, (usually wrap around) the kids will love it.
3 Make the porch deck 7' wide and over hang the eve by two feet.
4 Make the garage 30 x 30
5 make the entry to the front porch at least four feet wide.
6 if you are having a basement make the walls at least 9 ft tall.
7 have separate a/c, heat units for each floor.
8 place the laundry near the master bed room (bedrooms are where 90% of the wash is generated)
9 enjoy!
