Sprinkler system - no. Since the winters get into freezing temps, it has to be a system with antifreeze and pressurized. The cost is huge for that type of system. Alarms? Absolutely. I will have hard wired smoke alarms that will be linked to my phone. Lithium battery powered tools? Never again. I'm going all corded power tools. And guess what - they are all cheaper than the battery operated ones. I will happily trip over multiple extension cords from now on.

Thanks. The chain link fence on the left is the north boundary of our property, and the east side is the field of an elementary school (the grassy area in the background). We really love it here!

I built my garage and house using SIPS panels. They are styrofoam insulation with OSB plywood glued on both sides. The thickness can be anywhere from 4" to 12" - depends on the R value of insulation you want and your budget....my roof panels are also made from SIPS panels as well.
The benefits are the entire wall and roof structure was built in 2 days! The framers had never worked with SIPS panels before and thought it went slower than framing with conventional lumber and trusses - however I pointed out to them that the structure was completely insulated and also had OSB plywood on both sides - I used a roller and painted the inside and I did not have to do any other wall covering inside. Anywhere I want to hang something I can just run a screw into the OSB! You can install a window or door just by cutting a hole in the panel, using a hot tool to recess the insulation and then install framing around the opening. There is no attic in my building - the roof panels are 12" thick and the underside OSB is my ceiling.
The downside is that electrical wiring can be run in the walls - however it is a bit harder to do (there are channels cut into the foam but you have to drill holes in the vertical studs where the panels join and cut out a recessed area for the box (I ran my wiring and plumbing inside a lower offset wall that was built on the face of my foundation about 4" offset from the SIPS wall).
The cost may be a bit higher than using a frame wall/trusses - but may be competitive when you add in the cost of insulation and wall/ceiling covering.
You might want to see if you can get SIPS panels construction in Texas.

Dave, I think you mean Nevada.
Basically an insulation sandwich made with OSB bread. The tongue ‘n groove with adhesive setup is interesting (seems iffy to me). I think I like old school better with 6” framing lumber (and nails) if you want to get more insulation in the walls and want something a little more stout than 4” lumber and thinner insulation.

I have not checked into it, but I am not sure that type of construction would comply to Nevada building codes. At least not in the county we live in. Every once in a great while we see winds in the 80 - 100 mph range. I wonder how that type of wall is anchored to the foundation? The wall anchors here are insane. Just to keep the structure from auditioning for the remake of Wizard of Oz.
