Rooms above 8 metres by all means 7.1 but you will be wasting money on the 7 speaker wiring. If you can prewire yourself get a couple of rolls of cable and wall plates and do it yourself. With my build my builder has to do it as they do wiring inhouse. Alarm System Consider an alarm system to be done also either prewire or the full install. Surveillance System In my case I am getting an 8ch pre wire cat6 cabling done and will do the cameras/NVR/DVR myself.
