Thanks for the reply. I started a separate thread because I thought it might get buried in here. Thanks for noticing it. I will delete the other one if it is redundant. I wish I knew more about pool construction standards. I realize there has to be variances, but I have no idea what is...

Thanks for the reply. 1" seems reasonable as a total for a complete linear measurement such as entire length or width and something tighter for vertical measurement of depth or leveling of the deck/coping.

Can anyone tell me what acceptable variances are in the dimensions from the plan dimensions to the final build dimensions? I am building a fairly geometric design and the builder has an allowable variance of 2% of surface area in width and length and then 10% in depth. 10% seems crazy and...

Thanks for all the feedback. I will check the equipment prices. I made some adjustments the pool. Pretty, minor but I increased the width to 17.5' from 15', increased the spa to 8x8 from 6x6, and chose some better tile. The builder ended up taking another 3% off after a $9k increase and it is...

Thanks for the feedback. Prices in Austin do seem to be higher than elsewhere in Texas. MartinKennedy is right, the substructure is approximately 35% of the overall price. I priced it with a 2ft grade just to see the difference. The substructure price certainly took me by surprise. We thought...
