âI am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparationsâ¦.I have built my own factory on my own ground.â. Madam Walker.
The average in-ground swimming pool costs $21,919, according to home improvement site Fixr. And thatâs for a pretty basic 32â by 16â model. But thatâs just to build the thing. Then you have to take care of it.
You should pick 3-4 recommended pool vendors and get their estimates. Get average costs in your area-A nationwide average for swimming pools costs is approximately $50 per square foot (as of 2008), but there can be +- 20% variance in your area. Here are some ideas that I received from pool contractors:he cutoffs for pool depth pricing is 5 feet or less, 5 to 13 feet deep, and greater then 13 feet deep. Frills-As we noted, frills like waterfalls, infinity edges and fountains can double the cost of your swimming pool. For a detailed example see, this document titled pool construction cost estimating.
