Hi All,
We are looking to sign our contract this week with our local preferred pool builder. Please see attached below for critique and pool equipment review. Originally we were budgeting around 85k and we're coming out the door just shy of 101 and I'm sure we'll have some tweaks involved. We're in the DFW area and had 4 other bids and all came in higher than this, 102, 109, 106, and one at around 100 as well. We chose this pool builder as we know somebody who is a good friend and works there and even showed us their companies "profit" at the end of the day.
Our access is pretty tight having to remove existing neighbors fence panels and possibly even the A/C units for the dig which is results in substantially higher costs for the excavation portion and a little bit of grading. We'll swap the Polaris Quattro for a robot cleaner most likely as well and have an additional gas line being ran to the existing outdoor kitchen in place for a gas BBQ. With current concrete having to be sawed out ( See existing backyard - last picture) We have 2 "Sunbenches" per say debating on depths on these as we have a soon to be 2 year old. 6 or 9" for the first and 12" on the second? Thoughts about adding lights in these areas? Debating on still whether turning the second secondary sunbench back into a long love seat or leave it as is.
Anything else I'm missing here or thoughts? Thanks for everybody's help!
