ᐅ Did you install a dedicated water connection for the dishwasher?

I am curious whether you prepared a separate wastewater and water supply line for your dishwasher during the shell construction phase.
My dishwasher is planned to be installed roughly in the middle of the wall on the left side when looking at the room from the front. The sink is located in the center (still freestanding in the room) along the same wall.
So, is it better to install these lines directly in the floor before the screed and other layers go on? Because either way, I have to extend the connection there. Having it exposed on the surface, however, is more maintenance-friendly.

which brings us back to the original question: if a refrigerator costs $2,000, how much does an extra $100 for a second water tap really matter? Especially since in our case there’s a door between the sink and the fridge, and the other side is open to the living room. Adapters and hoses wouldn’t have worked. You don’t usually plan for multiple outlets in advance either... It probably depends on the situation again. Our side-by-side fridge is located exactly on the opposite side of the kitchen from the sink.
However, it is fully built into the kitchen up to ceiling height and has an external filter, which needs to be installed into the 5mm (0.2 inch) water line.
Should I put that behind the 130-kilogram (287-pound) fridge, which I would then have to pull out of the niche only once a year? No, it goes neatly under the sink against the wall. For that, we accept using the adapter. Because I find it unnecessary to install two cold water taps directly next to each other.

Now I’m unsure whether to stick to the reservations regarding the “stale tap water,” or to have a pipe installed before the screed is poured in the next few weeks.
