Pool Design

[nbrogan]

Can anyone please recommend an online service that will provide a CAD (or other software generated) pool schematic for a vinyl liner rectangle?
My builder has provided a detailed schematic but the permit build plan reviewer continues to criticize the fact that the plan is hand drawn and he has stated that it is hard to read (it is not). The same reviewer has criticized the pool design for including 10" concrete and rebar as "overkill" (which is exactly why I chose this particular builder). In order to finally get the permit issued, I am considering paying someone to simply convert the design from hand drawn to software generated; I am willing to try to do it myself if there is a user friendly online tool.
We have also submitted a detailed site plan which has been approved.

Grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.

There is a software program I used myself to model and generate a 3D image, it takes some time to learn, but lots of tutorials online. If you can't find anyone, maybe you go this route. The name of the program I used is called Home Designer. They have different versions for different prices.

Thank you very much!

That's how they do concrete vinyl pools. It's basically a house foundation without the footer that you drop a liner in.

Thank you. That is one of the reasons we chose this builder- they use concrete walls instead of aluminum. We have a permit reviewer who works mostly with the more local shotcrete pool build companies. The latest corrections require us to state all ISPSC codes- not cite them but state the contents of the applicable code sections on the plans.
