I started my organizing subs. For example:
HVAC - humidifier? Zoning, thermostat location, AC condenser location...
Electrical - outlet locations (exterior, closets, mantles), 220v outlets (electric car, air compressor, welder), exterior lighting strategy
Plumbing - roughed in bathroom downstairs? garage drains? exterior spigots/foot bath? Utility sink?
What were all of my hopes and dreams for each "category"
Organizing needs/wants took a lot of time and attempts. Beware of someone claiming to "know it all" and "oh yeah we do everything perfect you'll get all that and everything will be fine". You need to "beat a dead horse" and make sure you get it right. Will you want a lit mirror in your bathroom? Heated tile floor? Hardwired data connections where you need them? Some things can be solved after the fact, but not every "I wish I would have" is a cheap fix
A broader check list for most construction is more like:
Framing, rough openings, door heights, window size/location
Electrical (security, data, low voltage) outlet locations etc. Decide what light fixtures you want or recessed lights
Roofing starts - pick your shingle color... that will depend on your siding color and bricks/stone and hardscapes...
Plumbing rough-ins, including all floor drains, water locations
Central vac, radon mitigation, future chases, misc PVC
Insulation goes in and covers all that ^ up...
Brick/stone and siding start, hope you have those colors correct
You go light fixture shopping then start to second-guess your decisions on Electrical from #3
Sheet rock starts, decide on wall/ceiling paint colors
etc... your builder should provide you with a gantt chart or something similar for these though
Or I could just tell you to go ask your architect and be super duper helpful
