This is not an easy one to answer because there are many different features that can be added to a pool which may or may not be included in the price. Furthermore, all pools are not built the same. Each company has there own set of specifications that they build to. The county has a minimum standard, but a quality builder like Creative Backyards, Inc. will apply techniques that supersede those minimum standards. In today’s economy however, pool companies are looking for any way to save money, so they might be inclined to cut corners on your pool and that is something that you have to be very aware of. Generally speaking a typical pool (15’x30′) with all the necessary features will be around $45-$50,000 depending on what’s included. You’ll probably spend another $5,000-$6,000 for a basic patio area around the pool. And don’t forget to consider the peripherals that come with building a pool such as landscaping, patio furniture and fencing.
