We're building a new home in Frisco and we're considering building a pool at the same time. I'm looking for pros/cons from those that have done this, or added afterwards and have an opinion on doing both at the same time.
I suspect the pros are that we are not paying a 2nd time to move sprinklers, re-sod the yard, rebuild a fence, and the home builder will be on the hook for ensuring the lot drains properly. Any estimates on savings by not repaying for those services?
Correct? Anything we should review carefully during the process? Are there risks from a final home loan standpoint since the cost of the pool is evaluated into the value of home contract, although cost is 100% pre-paid for the pool?
Do you see a benefit of building the pool after the home is completed and we're moved in?
The home builder requires that the home contract is modified to include the cost of the pool, and 100% of the pool cost is paid up front directly to the home builder. They have a limited number of pool companies they'll work with - Riverbend/Sandler, Mirage, and Gold Medal.
