we have several Solar Skylights ...one square 45cms Illume fitting in an ensuite without any windows and two 30cm Arcol circular fittings to add extra light to a dining area without direct external windows...we're very happy with the Solar Skylights after years of leaking "proper" skylights ..our roof windows and standard skylights looked excellent with a view of sky and trees but, tired of constant leaks, we changed the roof and swopped the leaking holes for the small Solar Skylights .....they averaged about $260 each and can be DIY although our tradesmen were happy to install while doing other work for the cost of about 1 hrs extra labour...some brands have a model that includes electric connection to use the same light for night and overcast days but we have extra downlights instead .. they're just solar powered light fittings, ceiling mounted with a fibre optic cable through ceiling and roof space, up to 9 m (so plenty of options to disguise the cable instead of more complicated access to roof through a second storey) and then out under the ridge capping to connect to a small roof mounted solar panel...only problem is i kept trying to turn off the "light" until we became used to them ...there are also custom sizes and they can also be installed vertically to have the appearance of a window or fanlight over a door...very satisfied

The first question would be whether the 'new' position interferes with any of the diagonals on the trusses , or anything else that is already prepared or installed , such as walls or even iron ( which may already have the holes positioned ) . So the short answer is you will need to ask the builder , but it sounds like you may be early enough that it MAY be possible .

Yes def skylight.
