I think the lights are included in price, don't know about liner but my parents have just a pool built and if you get a house built on a slab you will have to have heating/cooling in the roof and get a system that does both it works out cheaper.

Only a certain number of lights are included. If you want any extra, you have to pay.

Our builder is charging us $45.00 per extra light, and that is only the installation fee. We have to actually provide the lights ourselves.

Swings and roundabouts on cost. Get Builder to install (you may have to touch up the handprints on the ceiling)

2-As anyone had a liner pool built if so do you recommmend.
Go pebble. Vinyl ages/tears/etc.

3 -Air-con and heating which is the best ducted air and heat,ducted air +reverse heating on wall.Aircon and gas heaters.
Depends on where you are. Ducted is neater but can restrict roof space access for pest inspection.
