After talking to a number of different companies, I think I have it narrowed down to two. Still working out the details on specific items, but this is where I currently stand.
Builder 1:
Pool Shape/Size: Oasis 18/38
Pool Excavation
Plans & permits up to $300
4000 PSI 10" thick concrete wall
4 rows of steel reinforcement
Choice of liner (they gave us catalogs for 5 different companies: Tara Liners, Kayden, Vynall, LoopLoc, Merlin)
1/4" high density wall padding
Minimum 2 skimmers encased in concrete
Minimum 2 directional return jets
Radius vinyl covered concrete step with jets ($1600 upgrade)
Jandy AquaPure SWCG ($1800 upgrade)
Jandy DEV48 filter
Jandy Flo Pro 1.5Hp 2sp pump (I have inquired about a VSP but haven't received a response yet)
Jandy EE2500TI Heat pump ($4300 upgrade)
1.5" flex PVC (I asked about 2" rigid and they will do for $500 extra but won't warranty it)
Quick disconnect unions on equipment
500W underwater light (extra light is $500, I don't know about switching this to LED)
2 anti-entrapment main drains
If we want a bench in the deep end ($2000)
If we want separate lines for skimmers ($250)
If we want additional dedicated Polaris line ($300)
Jandy PDA for automation ($2000)
Lifetime warranty on structure, 20yr liner, 1 yr most equipment
Total price with options I already included (steps, heat pump, and salt): $25,200
Builder 2:
I will only write what is different
Pool Shape: Mountain Lake 20x39
3500 PSI concrete
20mil liner of choice (extra if we want thicker, don't know how much)
2" rigid PVC
16' vinyl covered concrete end step ($1800 upgrade)
Vinyl covered concrete bench ($1200 upgrade)
Pentair 4x160 VSP ($800 upgrade)
AquaCal T135 heat pump ($4250 upgrade)
Pentair Intellichlor ($2150 upgrade)
I imagine the filter will be Pentair, but we can choose DE or cartridge (update: Pentair FNSP48 if DE)
Haven't heard back from this builder yet on cost of changing anything out to match what I posted above regarding such things as lights, additional plumbing or automation.
Update: Extra lights are $475 each plus $500 for the LED bulb
$2800 for Pentair Ez Touch
When I asked about looped returns and separately plumbed skimmers he didn't understand the question.
Total price with options I already included (steps, bench, heat pump, and salt): $31,450
THANKS!
