I'm nearly halfway through our build and I'm finally getting to the point where I have a little spare time to share my info here.
Would like to start out by saying thanks to TFP and members for providing advice as I researched the whole pool building process and those who have taken the time to share their builds. This info has been an absolute necessity for me to start contracting out our pool and attempting to DIY some parts.
Another huge help for me was being able to consult with two friends who had contracted out their builds. One sub'd each individual part of the construction project. The other found a sub that took on a big percentage of the initial build steps and then sub'd out the finishing steps to different people. These guys were good enough to share their files with me so that I could get a real good understanding of what was involved and see some actual costs. I would not have started this build on my own without this info.
I used sketchup to put the design together. Here's a couple images of the plans and one of my drawings submitted for permits …
