Pool construction simultaneously with house construction - Your assessment

What exactly do you need? I have to submit the photo later. The acquisition of the heat pump is not that expensive, but depending on usage, the running costs are not negligible. The desired cover will probably cost about the same as your pool itself ;)

Well, costs are excavation (very expensive here ...), properly insulated base slab and external insulation (because of heating...) and pool technology including heat pump etc. I will build the deck myself from already available aluminum profiles and wood or WPC still to be bought. I rather expect only 1000-1500€. Costs for some steel profiles in Ω and U shapes to accommodate the existing heavy-duty rollers (I already have the rollers too :) ) and some welding work ... If I’m lucky it will be a bit cheaper, if not that’s okay too. The cover could at most get more expensive if it includes a sauna right away, which is an option for me (if everything works out as I currently imagine...)

We experienced that directly, however the excavation in EL while interior work on the house was still ongoing, so towards the end. The base slab was also in EL or the concrete was ordered via delivery with a conveyor vehicle. Can you also pour EL?

Thank you for your assessment. EL will be rather difficult.

As far as costs are concerned, you have already heard a "rough number," which I find quite high depending on what kind of pool it should be and what all the landscaping etc. should include. Others will probably give you similar figures here, maybe we are an exception, no idea. But so you have heard it: We spent about 10k on our PP pool with stairs in 7x3m including equipment (which is not in a shaft but in the garden house next door) as well as the above-mentioned work and are happy with it.

7x3m looks very comfortable for us. Price-wise we guessed blindly and planned with 25 - 40 thousand euros. Whether it will work out or not, whether our general contractor is enthusiastic about it or not, still has to be seen.

I’m rather calculating with only 1000-1500€. Costs for a few steel profiles in Ω and U-shape to hold the existing heavy-duty rollers (I already have the rollers :) ) and a few welding jobs ... If I’m lucky it will be somewhat cheaper, if not that’s also OK. The cover could become even more expensive if it includes a sauna right away, which is an option for me (if everything works out the way I currently imagine it...)

You see, projects are that individual. For most people it’s certainly easier to do/organize the excavation and floor slab themselves than to build/weld such a "massive" cover themselves... ;) Such a cover usually costs around 10k when bought...

Excavation was done by an acquaintance with an excavator, that was done in 1-2 hours. The floor slab is no rocket science, neither is insulation. Most energy is lost upwards anyway, the cover is the biggest gamechanger here, you are ahead of many with your planning...

It will work out :)

We were faced with the same consideration, then went to four pool companies in the region, read a lot in forums, and then decided to participate right away in the new construction. So we went to the construction company with the purchased pool and architect’s plan so that it would be included from the very beginning. Our experience so far: The construction company has no interest in the pool at all but has to take it into account because we brought it as part of the house construction from the start. Therefore my advice: Talk to the construction company early on, prepare your nerves for the plumber, electrician, and earthworkers, who all reluctantly communicate with the pool people in our case, without exception, and keep asking the site manager whether he has the coordination of the pool in mind (otherwise he might assume, as in our case, that you are somehow taking care of it yourselves :) To realistically estimate the costs, I would recommend discussing all costs with both the construction company and the pool companies, as quite a few additional expenses came up for us (drainage, electricity, connection to the house, construction-side services, etc.). We are in Munich, so of course take our prices with caution, but here you can get a setup pool or just the pool shell from the internet without installation, filtration technology, or cover for 10k. The cheapest offer we got here for a 7mx3m pool without earthworks came from Desjoyeux, it was 50k (which did not convince us visually for the money), the mid-range offers are around 60k (plus earthworks and connection costs to the house, with electric cover but without counter-current system or other extras, only compass ceramic shell, the pool company quoted about 10k extra for earthworks and connection costs) and the really nice pools from Riviera or a concrete shell with foil would have come to a total volume of 80k-100k. Where are you building and what are pool prices like in your area?

Isn't a Swim Spa worth considering?
