There are three possible scenarios that you could be faced with. If you are buliding a new home then you have a clean slate to start with and configire the wiring exactly as per your needs and give those details to your building contractor. Most of us, have what we call a 'fixed home plan' and have to work within those constraints. If you have bought the place within the past 5-6 years chances are there is already some kind of internal cabling set-up in place either for telephone lines or cable tv. You can use this to put in your own conduits and set up your wiring and bring in add-ons as needed. If you are in the last category of owning a home that has no such internal cabling , then you need to create a structured wiring layout.
To do any of this, you need to know your gadgetry and also how you will use them. You would also need at least two kind of professionals-----an electrical engineer and a technology consultant. If you need to figure out other aspects in addition to wiring you would also need the advice of an architect/interior designer. The reason I stress on the need for a technology consultant is because they are more familiar with all the options available, familiar with the gadgetry and also updated on the market. An electrical engineer would not be so familiar with such technology and would at best know more about commercial requirements than residential. In a fast changing space, it is always useful to know what your options are. When you have an independent consultant you are also not dependent on any particular service providers and can use multiple agencies for your multi media. They need to have access to one control panel and the rest of the wiring should be as per your plan--not theirs !!
It is also important to have your paperwork in place and get a diagrammatic plan of all the wiring . Also plan ahead and cater for future add-ons and possibilties.
