Answer 1

depends on where you are and the trend so NY 20x40 with the pool deck and fence etc. 60K Fla. pools are smaller and no stonework 40K

Answer 2

The pool cost itself for around a 4 meter by 10 meter should run around 20 thousand dollars, then excavation can run around half again =another 10 thousand. That's a basic pool
You may want a deep end - excavation more costly
Deep end should be really deep enough to dive. But it makes water stay colder, a bit harder to clean/You will have a low diving board nevertheless.
If you live in US you are obliged to fence in your pool which is ugly but unavoidable - even on properties which are hard to access and PRIVATE!!! So take into account a nice wide area around the pool so you don't have to stare at a fence. Or better, build your pool outside the US where these restrictions don't apply (i.e., a kid won't be able to get into a house set within a gated compound - so I still don't get why you'd need to fence your pool in a gated area from a trespasser).

You can have infinity, half infinity )infinity best if you have it dropped off an elevation/hill ) or normal. Infinity costs around 1/3 more since it's like building a pool and a mini pool along the perifery. Pretty - but expensive and if you want the infinity, level water effect you'll have constant noise of water draining into the hidden skimmers. Pretty annoying.
If you want to do laps, have a regularly shaped area.
If you want an electric pool cover, have a regularly shaped area (rectangle)
Keep grass away from pool edging
Don't put deciduous trees nearby
Avoid blooming flowers which attract bees, wasps insects.

Dont forget lighting in the pool, and if your pool is long, an egress/access on both ends (don't necessarily have to mirror each other, or be of same type - one can be ladder, another in water steps)
Now fashion material is gunite. I prefer reinforced stainless steel and cement covered with a thermowelded liner. Very resistent
Others like tiles which I'd avoid because they will over time fall off near water line, grout will fall apart, etc.
Also fashion is black pools in green landscapes but I find them creepy and hard to light inside sufficiently

Hope this helps (the lady who owned two pools)

Answer 3

Ball park is all I can offer. There are so many variables, such as gunite or vinyl, size, attached spa/no spa,accessories like slides and water falls, type of filter and heat equipment, tippage rates in your area and ease of access to the site to name just a few.
Base for a vinyl 18x36, no
toys ,average access and little or no tippage fees is going to start at 25 grand and escalate from there. A gunite would start at about 35 grand.

Answer 4

I live in Michigan, we have a figure 8 pool. One circle is shallow, and the other circle is a deep end/ 10 feet deep. We have a slide that goes in the deep end.It would cost close to $20,000 to have it built today. It had a cement base that can be enclosed, if we choose to.

Answer 5

In California, the absolutely smallest/cheapest pool is about $25,000. For a fairly nice pool, you're looking at $50,000 or more.

Answer 6

the cost will be not having a back yard any more!

Answer 7

think about how to make it envriomently sound that is relly imporant
