Agree strongly with all of @88CRX 's feedback;having the TV on that wall might also make it more feasible to wire A/V gear into the storage room / server area. Make sure the hallway entrance to the mech room is wide enough to accommodate a 32" door, which at 45" inches should be no problem.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I'll also add; having interviewed about 4-5 GCs for a basement finishing job a few years ago, I didn't see the value in their markup and ended up managing trades/contractors myself. It definitely wasn't finished as fast as with a GC but I saved at least 20% and was able to spend more on upgrades like nicer carpet, custom tile shower, etc.
