Help With Layout of Walk-in Closet (10.5'x6.5')

Need some ideas for how to lay out our walk-in. Is there enough space to have dresser drawers, hanging rods, and/or shelves along both of the long walls? What's the most efficient way to use the space? Should hanging rods be along one wall and drawers/shelves be along the opposite wall so there is ample room down the middle? If we double up hanging rods, what are standard heights above the floor for each rod? How deep should drawers and shelves be? We are in the process of building this house right now. If I'm going to custom build the closet, is there anything I should have the builder do like add blocking before hanging the drywall?

As for what we will use the closet for:

This is what he needs.

-6 linear feet of hanging rod for shirts and jackets

-Shelving for 1 dozen sweaters

-Shelving for 3 dozen folded t-shirts

-Shelving for two dozen folded pants

-Two drawers for underwear and pajamas

-Two drawers for socks

-One drawer for handkerchiefs, belts, and misc. items

-Place for six pairs dress shoes

This is what she needs.

-8+ linear feet of hanging rod for shirts and blouses

-2 linear feet of hanging rod for dresses

-Shelving for 2 dozen folded pants

-Shelving for 1 dozen sweaters

-Two drawers for unfolded tops

-Two drawers for unfolded bottoms

-Three drawers for underwear and pajamas

-Two drawers for socks

-Place for one dozen pairs of shoes
