Re: New Build - South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living
Honestly, I wouldn't change it.

Also, should we opt for the extra benches should we expect much of a cost increase?
An additional pump really is a small expense and very worth while factoring in the entire expense of the project.
You should be fine with one skimmer but a second wouldn't hurt. How much is the upgrade?
When I asked today PB did not offer a price. Said that they add a second skimmer for pools >800sqft per code. I left it alone as one skimmer will seem to do the work.

Our contract said "benches per plan" and our PB said we could do the benches however we wanted with no change in cost. We went on the heavy side. Our PB said his gunite guy didn't charge him extra for benches. I don't think that is a standard approach. In fact, after shooting our pool and because of our pool, his gunite guy changed his billing practice to specify an amount per linear foot of bench space for future builds. So our timing was fortuitous.
We just have the one skimmer, but also have the screen enclosure. Maybe I should have added the $500 skimmer and skipped the $12k enclosure. Lol.
