Not Knowing What You Want
5 BIGGEST MISTAKES MADE BY HOMEOWNERS
Starting any home building project is always momentous. For most people, it involves livingwith thework in progress – not to mention lots of decisions, excitement about the changes, and hopefully, a final reveal that makes everyone happy.
Whether you are starting from scratch with a new pool, or remodelingyourexisting pool, before youstartyour journey of looking at samples and design drawings, make sure you do not make these buildingmistakes as outlined bybuilders themselves.
Before you even begin interviewing pool builders, make some hard decisions. This is the time to ask yourself what you want to accomplish, and why. When you can communicate these specific goals to your builder, you will be able to tap into their knowledge on how to make your vision come to life. Doing research on your likes and dislikes, materials and ideas will only help when you sit down with your builder – and help you feel confident about your choices.
Really Thinking AboutYour Lifestyle
Do you have an active household? Are children and pets a part of your life? Do you need something that will be low maintenance? Who will be using it? Questions like these may seem simple, but they will tell you and the pool builder a lot about how to determine features for your pool and spa build or remodel.
5BIGGESTMISTAKESMADE BYHOMEOWNERS
Neglecting Window Shopping
Get out there and explore your friend’s pools or view photos of pools or spas online. Find out what works best in your area and what does not. If your home has features you are proud of, you can see how others with similar homes have added to the aesthetic in their backyard pool or landscaping.
Home shows are another great way to learn about the latest innovations and styles that work well for our area. It is one of the few times that you will be able to stock up on information and brochures from a wide variety of businesses – and you will get lots of inspiration.
Being Realistic AboutYour Budget
Once you determine your goals for your building project, set your budget. And, once you set your budget, add on an additional 20% of that amount as a reserve. Do not move ahead unless you can assure that you have that cushion in place. With your budget and reserve set aside, you will not only reduce your stress levels, but you might even have a surplus at the end of the project.
Choosing Your Builder Carefully
The first company you interview may not be the best choice. By talking to at least three builders and getting quotes, you will have a firm idea of your project scope, and possibly learn about some items you did not consider.
Be sure that any company you work with has not only proven themselves in the past by having lots of positive reviews online but will also be there in the future if you need them. Be aware of companies that claim to be experts but only have a year or two of experience. Excellent communication and the ability to listen to your needs are essential for any builder relationship. 3 4 5
TOP 5 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR POOL BUILDER
One of the best things you can do to ensure your building project goes smoothly is to treat your relationshipwithyourbuilder like youwouldanyother relationship.Afterall,this isapersonto whomyouwill beentrustingasignificantamountofyourtime,money, and, of course, your home.
Donotbeafraid to asklotsof questions. A goodbuilder wantsyoutoaskquestionssoyoucanbesureyouareon the same page every step of the way. Here are some questions you can start with:

TWO Canyou get the materialsI want?
A building project is a major investment, both financially and with your time, so you do notwant to end upwith a final product that doesnot look like what you had in mind. To prevent that from happening, it is important to be clear on the types of materials you want to use. Do not make the mistake of letting a builder talk you into using materials that are almost what you want, but not quite.Be open about the specifics of the look and feel that you are after and bring photos to further illustrate your ideas.
TOP5 QUESTIONS TOASK YOURPOOL BUILDER
THREE Is the company going to be around in the future?
The most beneficial builder relationship is one that can last a lifetime. That is because the builderyou hire is goingto be come intimately familiarwith your needs, desires, andstylesensibilities, which will make him/herfar betterequipped to make any changes orupdates you would like toget done in the future. So, you want to be clear on the future of your relationshipandfeel confident thatif any issues, problems, or projects arise in your future, they will be there to have
FOUR What factors can affect the timeline?
A primary challenge of a building project is waiting for that project to be completed. There is no way around it quality renovations take time and, often, a whole lot of it. For a strong, realistic handle on your project’s timeline, ask your builder what factors will affect it. It is almost inevitable that unexpected obstacles will arise, but if you stay informed on how those obstacles will impact the length of your project, you will be able to plan accordingly and rest easier.
FIVE How will you stay in touch with me through the process?
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of strong communication when it comest o making your building project run as smoothly as possible. As mentioned, it is an inevitability that unforeseen obstacles will come up throughout the process, and time is money. To make sure those obstacles do not slow down the project is to keep an open line of communication so that you can answer questions and make important decisions as soon as they come up.
The moreopen and communicative you are with eachother, the more trust you will have inthe process. Withholding questions or limiting your communication can have costly consequences.
