What ever you do make sure they are deep enough for the coat hangers with clothes on them.  We had some put into a unit and the depth was marginal in that the coat hangers with out clothes were fine but put a jacket or coat on the hanger and the clothes rubbed on the internal sliding door.  The outside door was fine. All depends on the room you have. Next time we had some installed we requested that the wardrobe be  a little deeper. We used Wardrobe World but not sure if they are still going, they were in Frankston.

Also check out the sliding door options. most have dual track with 3 or 4 doors, but you find that makes the openings a pain in the but to access, because of limited movement on the track with the 2 doors. A 3 track system would be much better I reckon.

I normally aim for 580 - 600mm clear  internal. 550mm to me is bare minimum. Prefab stuff you buy from bunnings, ikea etc are normally around 500mm and gets pretty tight.
Grab one of your bigger jackets out and measure to make sure.

Most of the mass produced stuff is worked around sheet optimization, so if you go away from the norm the price goes up.

Make sure your doors have even numbers, so do 2 doors or if it's wider and you need 3, make doors smaller and put 4 in.  That way you always have half of the opening for access. If you have 3 doors you only have a 3rd

most standard house cupboards in new house builds these days are either 510mm or 490mm internal size finished. Usually they'll allow 600mm less the size of framing... so if it's 70mm stud frame you get 530mm between the studs and less another 20mm for gyprock (giving 510mm finished size), if it's a 90mm frame you'll get another 20mm less then that again.
