Put 'em in later. Just send a hole straight though to the outside and seal around it on both sides.
Whereas trying to cut around wires when sealing and insulating is not fun.
This is a great idea.
For my house, I would love to have an outlet at each corner as running an extension from the middle to any point where I might need it probably means blocking some doorway or other impasse.
Easy to do. Just look at the photo at that Spruce link above. An outdoor box gets bolted the house with whatever length screws need to make purchase. That's just a 1/2" hole drilled from inside, or from outside if you really know where it's going.
They didn't seal it at the siding in the photo but they should have. And if you don't care about aesthetics mount it so that the conduit is above the outlet ... that way any water intrusion goes into the box and shorts it, instead of going into the HOUSE. << May not be code, but code won't always protect the house.
