I just received a recent quote today and I'm a little shocked at what it came in at. The pool builder is charging about $77,000 and that doesn't even include any decking. I faced the same scenario last year when I was trying to build a two story terrace and GC's were quoting 50-60K. I'm in the middle of construction on the terrace as builder owner and I will most likely come in under budget of 25K. My savings have been huge and I feel I can get the pool I want and save money if I build it myself. I have been reading a lot of the posts on this forum and will like to see if I can get some recommendations on a pool engineer as my current engineer might not be suited for the pool. Also, on a gunite contractor, steel framing, and plumber. thanks for any recommendations.
