The gas grill requires a vent hood simple install along with a in ground tank, again simple install.

Sink can be done, here's the issue the drain needs to connect to the sewer line, U don't want to rip up the slab, so my guess is the pipe needs to go around the perimeter of the house and hook up in front where you see a white cap.

The hot & cold water can be routed thru the attic or walls depends on the model U have.

Call 3 plumbers and get costs and ideas.....it can absolute be done.

I see folks paying upto and maybe over 20K to have the builder do it, it just don't cost that much look at it, add up $$$ the appliances the elec and plumbing you have to be able to get it done for $8-12K, but shop trades outside the villages for lower prices.

Remember all the contractors here think we R old and rich.........

If it takes 4 months to put a pool in they must be working part time a few days a week.

A gunite pool should take about 6 weeks.

Now if you really want something to consider look at Sun Pools fiberglass pools install time < 10 days, save about $10,000 ++++

Sun is the company that T&D uses when they install glass pools, less up keep no resurfacing ($6-7,000 in 5 years or so) or leaching of concrete junk in the pool for over a year.

Much easier to clean, comes in many colors & sizes, I have one and know several neighbors that went that route.
