Our new home in TV was completed in Nov 2018 and has a beautiful pool /lanai, birdcage area that is exactly what we desired. In addition to the practical aspects of building it all at the same time, if you're having a new house built, The Villages will work ONLY with T&D so the work, closing, and warranty is very coordinated. I agree with their position and you will benefit from the arrangement. We have had zero problems with the pool area and opted for T&D to also do the weekly service on the pool. There are other pool providers, but I have not heard of any of them who can supply a quality installation in less than 6 months. Some friends who have had a pool built "after market", have waited for up to 8 months and had numerous delays with all the subcontractors required. Because T&D is the exclusive vendor used by TV building, they stay very busy, but are extremely coordinated with the entire building process. Naturally, one of the prime reasons for all the coordination is that by ordering the pool to be built along with the house, closing will not occur until the "package" is totally finished and all the inspections done. The Villages brings pressure to adhere to time schedules because they don't desire to delay closing dates. I would suggest that you coordinate the pool project during your design stage with TV sales dept. We have been very pleased with the process and the finished product.
