What an awesome design. My plumbing is going in today and I might have about a 1/3 of yours! I couldn't tell, are you running gas to your fire pit?

Re: New Build in Phoenix *UPDATED 3/25*
Yes, gas to the fire pit and two fire woks, one on each side of the spa.

Passed pre-gunite inspection today, shooting gunite tomorrow at 6am! Video to follow. Ill try to get the rebar video up tonite. I think my electrician has got me sold on doing pavers instead of an acrylic-laced concrete. Anyone know about this company "Artistic paver mfg"? They are local (Arizona) and have some cool looking stuff.

Re: New Build in Phoenix *UPDATED 3/25*
I looked into them. They make some outstanding claims. I takled to a PB who offered their products, Shellock IIRC, and they were willing but didn't seem to be believers. They had it in their pool display but we went with travertine from Monterrey Tile instead. Didn't like the look of the square blocks but like I said, if it's as cool to the touch as they say it is, it's something you should probably look at yourself to decide. Check out Monterrey Tile for their travertine. Not all travertine is equal.

One of the PBs we talked to swore by those artistic pavers, but we ended up going with travertine.

What is the price per sqft for the Artistic Pavers? Are they cheaper than Travertine? If not...I would just stick with travertine.

Here are some still photos of the rebar. It shows the main features of the pool: The swim-up bar, the spa spillway, and the grotto.

I dont know yet, but a couple of the subs said it is cheaper than an acrylic-topped concrete.

The guy we were working with said the artistic pavers (brand name) were more expensive than travertine. But, like someone else said, there are also different grades of travertine so some probably cost more.

Really, that low? Are you talking about brick pavers or these http://www.artisticpavers.com/steplock-pavers-west.php ?
I guess after installation the cost goes way up unless you do the work yourself.

Re: New Build in Phoenix *UPDATED 3/25*
Im sure labor and additional material will bring it up to 6-7/sqft....still that might be cheaper than concrete at around $8/sqft
