Wiring/plumbing requirements for 220V La Marzocco GS3

Hi All, I'm hoping someone with a LM GS3 can help me out. I'm building a new house and plan to have a 220V GS3 on the kitchen counter. The builder needs to know what type of 220V plug the machine uses and where on the bottom of the machine the plumbing lines are so he can drill the granite
