So last time I built a pool 4 years ago I didn't find this site until after I started. Building a new house and we will be building a new pool. I learned a lot the first time on what I want and do not want so I think I have most of the things covered but thought I would run it past you guys to see if there is anything I am missing or any feedback. I'll admit I had some serious sticker shock this time around compared to 4 years ago I am spending about $23k more (luckily I am about to sell my house at an amount I never thought it would be worth). We are doing a bigger pool and adding a spa this time so some of this is expected but we also built a 20'x12' pergola, sheer decent , raised beam wall and had twice as much paver decking.
Pool/Spa
38'x16' 3.5' to 7' deep
All Pentair equipment- 520 Cartridge Filter, Pentair IC-40 SWG, Robotic Prowler 920, 400k BTU Master Temp heater, Easy Touch controller and Intelliflo VSP
Cast Stone Coping
Pebbletec Plaster (currently have it priced as a "premium" color I can save $1,600 if I go with standard color)
Belgard Paver Decking
I am on the fence about the spa. I currently do not have one and not sure how much it will be used. It cost about $8k the way I have it now or $11k if I want it raised. I am thinking if I decide to keep it I will go with the level one like the rendering to save some money. Pros and Cons of a level spa vs. raised? Anyone in Texas or another hot location that cant live without their spa? I could see using it early spring of fall just not sure about other times.
Anything I am missing or you think I could potentially cut?
