My wife and are in the planning stages of building a pool along with the build of our new house. The foundation for the house is being poured this week. We are wondering about what options we should include or not include? What things are a must or must not? What's worth the money and what isn't? Original idea is 20x40 with a 4 ft shallow and and a deep end. Haven't decided on deep end because haven't decided on diving board or not. Or maybe just a Sport pool that starts at 3'8" and goes to 6' or something. And/or slide. With a Baja shelf in the shallow. Let me know what you think.
This is the bid that I got:
Included with the 20’ x 40’ x 5’ deep sport bottom rectangle swimming pool:
-Excavate and stage soil from pool dig on site
-Secure pool walls and pour concrete footing around the perimeter
-Install all aluminum track around pool perimeter
-Pour a vermiculite pool bottom for liner to sit on
-Pour equipment pad and set all pool equipment
-Run all plumbing around the pool, pressure test lines, and attach at the equipment pad
-Install liner and complete all liner adjustments before filling with water
-Run any electrical conduit from the pool equipment pad to the pool that is needed
-Backfill around the over-dig of the pool with rock
-Rough grade around the pool getting it close to grade for concrete
-When project is complete the homeowner will be given a detailed orientation
