Your land or the builder's?
There are considerations to buying land and then hiring a builder vs having a builder construct on land that he owns and selling you a completed package. These range from different financing packages and insurance policies to what happens on your land when the builder fails you in some way (gets sick, doesn't pay the subs, etc etc. Wetlands and septic systems don't mix very well. Septic designers are licensed, but you may want to consult a soil scientist too. S/he should be a member of the NH Association of Natural Resource Scientists; Google NHANRS. Solar orientation is importnt for siting. Not just for heating/cooling and solar panels, but so the sun keeps your driveway clear instead of icy. I favor plowing snow instead of a snowblower, but either way, where will you put the snow?
