Re: Oklahoma City area PB recs and can this even be done?
OK, the first estimate came in today. It ... is expensive. And it ... lacks detail. This estimate is from a company that planned to tie into existing rebar and originally said they would extend the plumbing we have, but the bid actually quotes all new plumbing. We did have another company out last week, and should see some numbers from them soon, but their idea was to build a "pool within a pool" and basically shoot an entire new pool within the old pool, so it sounded like it might be even more expensive. Will be thinking about how to respond to first bid. The idea was to give the entire wish list and then trim the fat as needed to stay in budget, but without an itemized estimate it is hard to do. There was also the idea that we'd get a "straight remodel" quote for plaster, tile and coping as a Plan B, but we haven't seen that yet, will probably need to ask PB again.
Job Description: Convert existing geometric free form pool to a 16’ x 37’ rectangle pool. Pool will have an interior hot tub and sun-shelf & a coverstar auto-cover. Pool depth shall be altered to 6’ max. depth. Existing Hot tub will be abandoned and filled in. Conversion includes two new skimmers and piping, new return loop inside pool wall, new main drain line & new cleaner line (all existing plumbing will be abandoned) Removal & re-pour of existing concrete decking to accommodate conversion is included as well as “fill in” of decking where old areas of pool are abandoned. Pool will have dark plaster interior & cut-stone coping.
Total: $60,300.00
