Another thing to remember if you're doing any of the wiring yourself is to keep the low voltage wires away from the high voltage conductors. Don't run your UTP wires right alongside or in the same conduit with high voltage wires. Avoid running them parallel, and if you have to do so then make sure there's 6" or so between them. The magnetic field from the high voltage conductors can create noise in the UTP circuits that'll make them flaky. It'll be hard to diagnose and even harder to fix.

If you're having a contractor do the wiring, make sure they do it right. Don't count on the inspector to catch their errors, because there are some inspectors who don't give a rat's hindquarters about low voltage wiring and don't inspect it diligently.
