A cavat for anyone buying a new pool

[Simmons99]

I would talk to the person that you originally got the quote from about switching. Other buyers be aware that construction companies (don't know if this also applies to pool companies) usually charge more for work on a change order than under the original projec. This may be because they have to deliver again to the job site or change the plans and resubmit to the county or they just figure they've got you.

Hope everything works out. We are about 1 1/2 weeks behind. You can see my "neighbors" post in off topic - they have been a pain. The first inspector was late, we had a lot of rain and a cave-in that needed to be repaired.

I don't even know how many weeks behind we are now. Best guess, about 3-4 weeks behind. They dug our pool on June 1st and 2nd, and here it is the 21st of July and we just had our gunite completed. They haven't even started on tile, decking or coping. The contract completion date is July 24th (3 days from now). We aren't even getting a big pool done, it's a rather small "pool only" job. Originally they said that it would be done in 6 weeks, 10 weeks at most, due to it being a small job. Here we are 7 1/2 weeks into the project and no end in site yet. How it normally works with this company on our job is they do one day of work and about 10-14 days of nothing.

Anyway, they're a member of "Aqua Tech", that is one reason we hired them (it sounded good), but we are now wondering just what that means? Does anyone here know anything about them? Anyone that had any personal experiences with a member of Aqua Tech, and anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance from this newbie.
