How Do I Get Started Building My Pool?
In a world where we’ve been trained to price check and compare costs, many homeowners who are interested in building a pool start their search by requesting bids from a variety of pool construction companies in their area. While this may sound logical, it can actually get you off on the wrong foot. Finances and sticking to a budget are an important part of the pool building process for homeowners, but before you begin looking at prices, you should request a design consultation first.
Know What You Want
By requesting a design consultation before you even begin to think “price”, you’ll be able to get a good feel for what you actually want out of your pool and what’s going to be logistically possible. You’ll be able to get an idea of what features and designs you’re interested in, and whether or not the particular pool builder you’re in the consultation with is going to be able to complete the project to your satisfaction.
Ask About Qualifications
When you know what you want from your pool design-wise, you can then ask a pool builder or contractor whether or not he or she is qualified to complete the job. Some qualifications that you may come across include:
- Certified Building Professional (CBP)
- Certified Service Professional (CSP)
- Professional Pool & Spa Operator (PPSO)
A Good Fit
Regardless of how much it may cost to build a pool, if you sign a contract with a pool builder who isn’t a good fit, then you’re bound to have a miserable experience. The contractor should listen to you and understand your wants, while also actively contributing his or her advice or constructive suggestions that can improve the finished product or help you save money.
