House building/designing/renovating Oppos: some questions

We’ve kicked around the idea of knocking down our current home and building a new one. In the process of looking into it somewhat casually, I find out FEMA is redoing the flood plains. Some reaching out to town officials and I find out new flood plain will be significantly reduced on our property (theoretically, it is FEMA). That would make building a new home orders of magnitude easier, and takes it from “it would be nice” to “let’s be ready to go the day the new classification is in place”.

So, what’s your best advice? What is worth springing for, what is a waste of money? What would make you not work with someone, what would? What products do you love and would out in your house?
