As a GC, which materials do you let the subs purchase?

I'm going to build a house.  When I worked as a construction manager for a homebuilder several years ago, we ordered the lumber, windows, doors, stairs/railings, garage doors, trim, cabinets, lighting, appliances, vanities, floors, paint, and other finishes.   We let the mechanicals (elec, plumbing, HVAC) provide the wires, tubes, duct, etc. for the rough-in stuff.  Any other material-management approaches anyone's taken that works well?

@Daniel Alfandre

This is the exact approach we take. Most all of our carpentry, paint and flooring materials we will buy up front to protect us, to ensure quality, and to get our 11% menards rebates lol. Also opens the door for buying and storing sale items or Restore purchases which probably saves us on average 1000-2000 per BRRR deal.
