Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Mar 30, 2015 8:19 pm Hello Guys, We have bought a property couple of years before which has big pool in backyard. Initially we thought we will manage it but now it seems kids are not using it fully and we are now also unable to manage this big pool. So thinking to renovate it by down sizing it. Current : Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our Idea : Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ NOTE : skimmer, main drain, return line are in back part of the pool which I removed in above image. (1) Can you please give your feedback on the new design (down sized) pool? (2) If we have to down-size the pool, do you propose any other design (would like to keep the final cost as less as possible). (3) Just to get an rough idea, how much this type of job will cost appro? (4) Any recommended pool renovator or services guys to do this job? Thanks Anna and Mark Re: Need some help / comments on pool renovation 2Apr 02, 2015 11:10 pm Hi, I assume this is a concrete pool. I am no expert by any stretch but I know to re-tile an existing concrete 9mx4m pool costs about $10,000. Therefore, should you require engineering plans, council approval, excavation, concrete form work, plumbing relocation, tiling/surface refinishing, I would expect it to cost somewhere in the ballpark of $20,000 I am currently building a pool from scratch. I am subcontracting all the bits to save some ca$h. So far. Architectural design $free (I drew it myself) Engineering Plans $400 Council Application $400 Hole dig / Excavation of a 8.0 x 3.3m hole $5,000 Buy Steel reo $3,500 Steel fixers labour $3,500 Plumber first fix only $2,500 Spray Concrete labour 3,500 Concrete pump $800 20m3 of Boral MPA40 strength concrete @ $270m3 = $5,400 All up at the level of a LARGE concrete bird bath, $25,000 Good luck, Andrew My Concrete Pool Build in SA http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=73509 Re: Need some help / comments on pool renovation 3May 06, 2015 6:57 pm Pretty neat pool downsizing. How old are your kids? Make sure that you include a wading area for kids to go in safely if you have toddlers and little ones. That geometrical side can be your wading area or entry area for the kids. Hi VK, I am now retired however I have stood beside over 300 owner builders in the past 18 years that have successfully built their own homes. First of all a building… 10 18956 Thank you so much for the effort. We will use it to talk with builder. We also had idea of building duplex instead and seeking suggest ions. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=106744 11 10738 1 1376 |
