This will be our first post as new members of the forum. We have been 'planning' for while now and in stage of narrowing down our builders options. As you all probably know, trying to normalize bids and getting apples to apples comparisons of the details have been challenging. For the most part, I think we have the 'equipment' aspect comparable across the remaining builders on our list. We are now trying to make sure the construction/build specs are all in line. As of now the pool design is a basic rectangle(15x25') with a built in spa(7'x7') (not elevated). While I know the specs may differ based on pool sizes/shapes, I was wondering if anyone in the same area could expand on the specs such as:
Rebar size & grid spacing in respective areas......Deck, Beam, Shell (Wall/Bottom/Cove);
Gunite Specs - Sack ratio/Pressure/Thickness minimums - Beam / Floor / Wall / Cove, etc.
I did not expect to see much fluctuation but the more detail I get the more variance I see, especially in the gunite thickness minimums.
Thanks in advance, I trust this will not be the last time we look to the this group for advice in our pending decision.
