Seeking road bike wheel building advice for a 290 pounder

Helllo, I recently purchased a Bianchi Nirone 63cm fits me great (I'm 6'9"). The wheels are 23mm, 130mm hub, 28 spokes. I am getting prepared for when this back wheel starts to crap out and looking for advice for wheel components and any other modifications that I may want to look into. Any advice would be appreciated. (No, I don't have experience in wheel building but I was told yesterday in the Mechanic Forum that a reasonable competence and patience would get a newbie wheel builder a long way).
