Had a good meeting this week with Liquid Assets, a pool company out of Austin. http://www.liquidassets-pools.com/ Normally I steer clear of things from Austin since I am an Aggie; but they are a bunch of good folks and I find them hungry for business, responsive and service oriented.
The main purpose of the meeting was to get a firm grip on what we should be telling our customers when we are discussing pool budgets. Basically for a Parade of Home style pool, with hot tub, water feature, latest technology, etc. we were told to budget around $70,000. If you are to add features such as infinity edge and upgraded finishes you can start creeping up another $10-20,000.
For those who are more budget conscious, they can start off with more entry-level pools in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. The payments for the pools usually work 1/3 up front, 1/3 about midway and then the final 1/3 at the end. The best time varies for installation during the construction process, but to build a pool they said they would like to have 3 months.
