New Build - Richmond VA

[wahoo98]

This site is overwhelmingly helpful! Thanks to folks that gave me recent assistance on picking equipment. The plan is to install a 16 x 32 inground vinyl pool. We have a quote / contract from our builder (attached) and I was wondering if there is anything we are forgetting. Also, I am wondering how many skimmers and return jets do I need? Builder is proposing 1 skimmer, 2 jets. Is that adequate? TIA!

Listing looks pretty solid. Might see if you can get more than just 2 return jets though. PVC is cheap, and the additional circulation could be helpful.

Looks like they want to spread the excavated dirt around and not haul it off. can your yard support that?

for the forum: is the hopper on a 16x32 big enough for a diving board?

Thank you both for your comments! For some reason I didn’t get notifications or would responded sooner. Yes we agreed to keep dirt on site. We live On 10 acres and have some work to do in our front yard. We actually think we can use it all. I was thinking about adding a second skimmer and was wondering about the jets. I’ll ask our PB about it. Thanks.
