Does a small pool cost less money?
The cost of the pool itself may include only the basic construction costs — you need to understand that size does matter with your pool construction. After you let your pool contractor know your budget you can let him know what you would LOVE to see in your pool and then he can help you realize the pool of your dreams based on your budget.
What are some of the costs associated with pool construction? Here are a few:
- The cost of excavation
- The type of construction material you choose: fiberglass, concrete or vinyl liner
- The quality of equipment you purchase. Remember, if you skimp on equipment you will pay more in the long run for the cost of operating it and in its lifespan.
- What type of accessories do you really, really want? Diving board, slide, automatic pool cover, a built in spa, fountains, sun shelves, etc.
- The shape of the pool
- Its dimensions — length, width and depth
- Don’t forget to ask about the pricing for ongoing upkeep and maintenance.
