Our builder included spray foaming the exterior of the house for a very reasonable price and this was included in the contract. When he was prepping, we requested that he also spray foam the North wall of the garage as well -- namely as we had pipes for the well running through that wall. So far -- we absolutely love it. Our builder put it in his own home and his son's home as well, so he also believes in it.
Doors -- we had solid core doors installed on the master bedroom door and utility room door to help with noise reduction -- it definitely helps
Walls -- I would recommend considering insulating the master bedroom interior walls to help with noise reduction
Tankless water heater -- so far so good after we adjusted the temperature
Well water -- this could be an entire blog on its own -- still working to get the well adequately disinfected.
LED lights -- we have recessed lighting with BR40 lights -- the builder installed 60W incandescent bulbs; so far we have replaced the master bedroom bulbs with LEDs -- For the exterior, we upgraded to LEDs. LEDs will last 5-10 years, and save 80% or more.
