New Pool W/Spa, just starting out in Stuart, FL

[StuartBound]

Hello All,
Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers out there.

We just put a deposit on a new house in Stuart, FL which is under construction in a brand new development. Closing hopefully, by Nov-Dec time frame, and looking to put in a 36' x 14' with a Spa and tanning shelf along 1 side and a Lap Lane and waterfall on the other. Meeting with 6 PBs week after next. since we are new to Florida, was hoping for some advice along the way. I checked all the 6 PBs to see if they are licensed in Florida and 5 are currently licensed, 1 has an expired license*. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge with these PBs:

(Apex Pavers and pools)
(A&G pools)
(RHR pools)
(Premier pools)
(Van Kirk pools)
(Swimming pool experts)

Edit by Jim R. No links allowed for new members...

We want a 5-6 person, Therapeutic-type Spa with multiple jets grouped together and maybe a lounge. most PBs I have talked to will only do what they do, not much variation, so looking for a PB that will listen to what we want.
I am attaching a rough design from one of the PBs.

Thanks,
Randy

Are looking for any suggestions on the lay of the pool and spa?

Is the spa elevation at +0” at the point where it meets the pool water?
The distance between the spa and the RBB wall across from it is only 8’
Are you wanting the steps from the reef shelf to be like your drawing or the rendering?
Where are the elevation changes for the depths of the pool?
Sun Shelf is 9’ X 6’ and will be tight to walk around for a Ledge Lounge type of lounge.
The overall look is somewhat choppy with all the in and out cuts but this is only an opinion.
Have more suggestions regarding the spa, these are just some on the drawing aspect.

Spa elevation is somewhere between 12"-18" raised with infinity edge on all 4 sides.
We may have to make Spa smaller so its not 8' from RBB wall.
steps can be whatever is minimum required by code, if any.
Elevation is 3.5' to 6'
Sun shelf could be 9x7 if room to shorten steps.
