Hi All,
Wife and I are looking to install a simple rectangular play pool with baja ledge and spa. We already have the design we'd like worked up in a SketchUp drawing (see attached).
I've gotten one quote that's come in at $45,000 for the pool and spa + $5000 for the water feature. $30,000 for a basic no fuss pool (no water feature or spa) and $33,000 for a heated version of the basic pool (no water feature or spa). Details at bottom
I tend to be pretty hands on during projects anyways and don't mind coordinating and working directly with the subcontractors or filing for permits. Our home has an 8' side access, backyard is flat, no trees, is a newer build home (2018). The design we're looking for doesn't have anything complex or over the top. Even the contractor said this would be a straightforward standard install. But just wondering how much we could really save by going the DIY route?
1. How much could we save on the basic no-fuss pool?
2. What about the original design (pool, spa and water feature)?
3. How much more could we get for our money ($50,000) if we went the DIY route?
