I'd like your opinions on the design of a pool I am considering. Let me know the things I should be on the look out for. PB wants $90K. The pool includes a spa elevated 6 feet (to patio level - my house sits on a 6 foot foundation). Spa drains into pool down rock wall. From patio level, there is a double stairway, separated by a grotto, that leads to the pool and deck, 6 feet down. Yard has a further elevation change of 3-4 feet (so requires footers and elevated pool wall in back). Bedrock is 6 inches under the soil. The top of the grotto is flooded with bubblers so you can sit on top of it. Deck and coping is Oklahoma flagstone.
Here is a 3-D video fly-through of the design:
