I guess I’m wondering if there’s a significant cost savings for doing during the the home build versus later down the road. Access to the back yard will not be a problem.
I really doubt there will be much, if any savings if access isn't an issue. The only benefit would probably be based around financing. I'm not so sure there's even a way to rough in anything ahead of a firm pool and decking design.
The same company that dug ours trenched and ran the plumbing for the equipment. The dig took 1 day. The plumbing and rebar took 1 day. The gunite took 1 day.
It's shockingly fast but also the placement of the PVC is very specific to the hole in the ground.

The architect we are using apparently does pool design too. We were going to have him draw up something for us as an add to the contractors proposal. If we don’t move forward with the pool right away, my thinking is that I’ll at least know where I want the equipment located and already have gas, water, power, etc run to that spot when we’re ready for a pool in the future.
