What does the price of building a pool depend on?
The price depends on the size and shape, the construction system, the lining and the equipment.
- Size and shape: the walls, the lining and the volume of water depend on the length, width and depth.
- System: a pool with an overflow system is more expensive than a pool with a skimmer, because it has an overflow grille and a more complex pipe system.
- Lining: a reinforced liner works out cheaper than tiles, and with tiles the price includes waterproofing and epoxy grout.
- Equipment: the filter, the pump and the control panel are selected according to the volume of the pool.
- Additional equipment: a heat pump, salt electrolysis, a robotic cleaner, a cover and an enclosure can be added optionally.
- Installation: the price may include installation or exclude it.
- Distance: when installation is included, the delivery of materials is calculated according to the distance from Sofia.
What is paid for separately when building a pool?
In quotes from the 3D calculator, the excavation, the foundation slab, the power supply to the control panel and the water for filling are the customer’s responsibility.
- Concrete pool from the calculator: the excavation with removal of the excavated soil and the backfill around the walls are also not included.
- NewStyle Boston: the base price includes the EPS structure and the basic equipment.
- NewStyle Boston: installation, delivery depending on the location, excavation work, concreting, the lining together with its laying, additional extras and water features are charged separately.
