The IET do give guidlines as to the number of sockets per room.

Good, but if they are only "guidelines", house builders will continue
to do the cheapest thing that meets the regulations....

Obviously.

It's better to wait until you decide on your layout of the house - where
things like furniture etc is going, then add sockets in the best place.

Then start ripping up the floor?

Well remember a pal who bought a new house in a small development where he
got the chance to specify more or less what he wanted. (extra cost,
obviously) And just about every socket ended up behind furniture etc so
unusable.

Well, there is that.
