Ok I am a blank page- we are getting a back yard pool for the first time- need as much advice as I can get

I'm new, and I need your help,bear with me. My ground is being leveled this weekend, electricity has been ran underground to a storage building (which will be beside my pool).
Here is my question, and it's a big one. Pictures would be extremely helpful. I'm looking for help (pic's), ideas, comments on the layout of my Pump, SWG, and Heater.
I want to be able to give my electrician something to go by. Our County inspector will also check things out before he signs off on it.
Order of installation? Timers? Everything is still in the box in my garage and the Grandkids are pumped.
This is what I have; 12'x24'x54" AG Saltwater Titan Oval Pool, 12'x24'x54" Oval Uni-Bead Beach Haven Liner - 40 Gauge, AquaPro High Pro DE72 D.E. Filter System 2-HP 2-Speed Pump, Hayward Aqua Trol RJ Salt Chlorine Generator System, Lacus Wide-Mouth Above Ground Thru-Wall Skimmer & Return Fitting.
I'm ordering a Heater this week, I'm contemplating an Armstrong 35,000 BTU Inverter Heat Pump, 9000 Gallons, with a WiFi Capable timer.- (open to ideas).
I appreciate all of you time and any expertise that you can/will share.

The thing that bothers me about above ground pool installations is when the equipment gets put front and center and visible from the house. It's detracting to me. So all I can add is consider putting that equipment pad (even if its just straight on the ground) *behind* the pool.
I agree with YippeeSkippy. Better at the far side of the pool than near side and near the house. But that means the skimmer and return lines are also at the far side of the pool. Are you putting in a deep end or is it all one depth?
We put ours in the back corner of the yard behind a big lilac bush. It's at least 15 ft. away from the pool and not a problem pumping.
Bury the plumbing too. No flexible hoses.
oh, me too. The pool will be in. the back yard corner, and all of the plumbing etc. behind that.
Yes, all behind our house, 6' Almond privacy fence around our back yard. Most will not even know that it's there.
My old ABG had the pump/filter removed from the skimmer/return. The filter was under the deck, and to access the skimmer / return you had to go onto the deck, but you had to go around the far side of the deck to get to the stairs. It was a huge pain. Now I have my filter right next to my skimmer / return, on the far side of my pool. Much better.
