If you have lots of time you can DIY and save a ton of money. Basically you just act as a project manager and hire all the sub-contractors for the different work you will need to have done. You could probably save at least a 1/3 from hiring a pool company. However if you dont have the time call some local pool companies and they can give you a free estimate. I would say from what you want a minimum you can expect is probably around $40k.
I got a quote here in michigan and it was 30,000 for something near a 12 x12 only 4 ft. deep. That was cement pond including 2 filters. It was with nothing extra and nothing fancy. We ended up buying a Kyak above ground pool with railing and a deck for 12,000. With the two filters.. I still can,t say we got the best dea. It is beautiful and maintainace is low. but I would just go for a regular pool becuase the cost is so rediculious trying to be fancy..We could have gotten much bigger for much less. Oh well I do believe what we have is okay we have had it for 5 years and I bet we have about 10 years left and it will stay in good shape.. best wishes.
Your best bet is to get a contractor in to give you an estimate. They're free. What you want and what's possible in your yard can be two different things. There are a lot of factors to consider, such as ease of access to the yard ( hiring a crane to hoist an excavator over a house is expensive, I know, as I worked for a company that once had to do this) if it's easy, then the price is lower naturally. Your own local bylaws may not even allow you to build a pool. For instance, a corner lot in many municipalities, with a side yard can be a no go, even if it's fenced. That tree in your backyard where you want the pool may be one that your local municipality has declared protected, even though it's your land, that tree may not be. ( True case in a town near me. No pool could be built). Same goes with a diving board too. Many municipalities consider them to be structures ( just like a building or shed). As such they are required to have an easement ( distance between it and your property line). It has to go at the deep end of the pool so if there's no room to be legal with the bylaws, no board can be installed. What you want in a fountain or waterfall can vary the price considerably as well. Rock, for instance, isn't priced the same for different varieties. You haven't even made up your mind about if you want vinyl liner or gunite (concrete) yet, which is double the cost. What I can say, as a minimum price, given the limited information and assuming no by law issues to dance around and ease of access, is that for a vinyl liner pool ( 18X36) with 4 person attached spa, board and slide with average filtration and sanitizing equipment ( add 1500 bucks for a salt generator for example), you're starting at 42 K and working up. Get a contractor in, you'll save yourself a lot of what ifs.
