Hey that's a nice looking pool of water....which pool store do you use? Their advice is spot on....oh wait, I bet you pay for one of those high end pool service guys, right?? Dotellshow, who's your pool boy??
There I fixed it for you Matt!
A couple of days ago we pulled our permit for building a pool. I'm a little nervous.
I want to read this whole thread but I have a question at this point. We live in the same state even if in different areas, so there might still be similarities.
How were you able to get the permits yourself? What kind of documentation did you provide? I tried to ask at the city what is required to do for a swimming pool and they pretty much said that is the responsibility of my pool builder. At that point I was not really ready for anything more (it was just a curiosity). Now we are in the process to receive quotes from several Pool Builders and I would like to investigate how it would work if I did the GC myself. Thank you very much. Sorry if this question is answered in the thread but it's REALLY long and it will take me days to read it all.
As long as you have a plan an owner can pull their own permits.
You'll need a site plan showing the house, any existing structures/ patios, location of the utilities, any easements, powerlines, layout of the pool with dimensions, pool equipment location, electrical and gas runs
with wire and pipe size, etc. You will need the pool engineered and provide the structural details as well.
It's something a homeowner certainly can do but if you aren't experienced then it might be better to hire it out.
Ps. The deck is finally done and the patio cover is 95% complete. It's roofed and electrical is in and we just need to put on the hardiplank, trim and ship lap ceiling. [emoji1316]
