Sod and Irrigate new yard?

Wife and I are building our first home in middle TN. Wondering about sodding and irrigating the backyard. Price the builders quoted us is 5000 for sod and 5000 for irrigation. Seems high. They "seed and straw" backyard otherwise.
What are the boards thoughts on this? How much of a pain would it be to add these in later? Im guessing it would be more of a pain to add irrigation later than sod?
How realistic would it be for me to just seed my backyard and expect a decent plot of grass

Why don't you do it yourself. It is not that hard. On You Tube you can find alot of information on irrigation systems. Laying sod is just physical effort, no brain needed.

I'll also say adding a sprinkler system in after sod or established seed really isn't a big deal. But, getting the sod to take, or getting seed to germinate properly is MUCH easier with a sprinkler system installed.

I unfortunately dont know the details of it yet, we're in the very early planning stages. Know the lot size is .5 acre and its a 4200 Sqft house. I know this doesn't really help at all because there are a million configurations. Will come back when I have more info, thanks everyone.
