I live in Orlando and recently had a pool built by a local company. Our relationship turned adversarial after I signed on the dotted line and things didn't going smooth to say the least.

Anyway, I realized that the pool builder subcontracted each step of the way.

Pool Layout and dig
Rebar / Steel
Gunite
Plumbing
Tile / Pavers
Pool Finish

Well, my sister is looking to have a pool built I was thinking about helping her subcontract the different parts of the job and essentially build her own pool.

I also found this link from Bella pools, who essentially helps the homeowner build their own pool. I guess you can save between 15 - 25 percent.

Any thoughts on this idea or Bella Pools?

Thanks!
