Hi everyone!
I am so thankful to have found this community and have a place to share while we are going through this process. We have been dreaming of our pool for years and the time has finally come! We are so excited! We started looking and interviewing PBs a couple years ago actually and chose the company we want to work with. This is largely due to the warranty they provide and the personal friends we have who have used them.
A little background- we live in North Georgia on about 2 acres. We do get a lot of water in our yard when it rains (has to be significant rainfall but that does happen occasionally in this climate) and we are concerned about that. This is something we plan to discuss at length and hopefully find some peace. This is probably our biggest concern with having a pool and of course getting everything we want in budget.
We would like to have an 18x34 ish gunite pool with a raised spa. We are a family of 3, but do want to have small gatherings occasionally. We want to be flexible and are willing to get creative if needed to be in budget (would love to be no more than $85k).
We sent him a rough sketch of what is in our heads, I will include that here. The only change we have decided on that isn't reflected here is centering the pool to the house rather than the deck.
What are the *must* talking points of the first design meeting? What things should we make known and ask for? What are the initial meeting important items to discuss and ask? Hoping for your expertise here!
Thank you!
