I'm working on constructing a new home and coordinating with the contractor. While finalizing details with them, my curiosity grows about what setup would make the installation smoother. We've already mapped out most of the network areas. For future-proofing, we plan to run Cat6a cabling throughout the house to support 10G speeds. The main concern is connecting the modem (or likely the ONT) to the ISP's service line. Right now I'm unfamiliar with fiber options since I've relied on cable internet. I recall a previous experience where they installed cables from behind my home to the front, drilled holes in walls and closets, then connected them to a wall plate. This is why I'm seeking guidance to avoid similar complications this time. Are there steps I can take ahead of time to make it easier for the ISP to install fiber without a complicated setup?

Low voltage smurf tube works fine. The main task is adding extra cable.

It relies on understanding their exact location for the street fiber connection.
