Pool Cost Per Gallon Estimator
Sales call needs a number in 30 seconds. Pool type + size + finish tier → ballpark cost per gallon and total. Field-rough only, not a quote.
FAQ
Why does per-gallon vary so much? +
A small spa costs $30/gal to build because all the equipment is the same as a big pool. A 30,000-gal lap pool spreads those fixed costs and comes in at $4/gal.
What's NOT in these numbers? +
Decking, fencing, retaining walls, gas line extensions, electrical service upgrades, permit + engineering, landscaping. These can add 30–80%.
Best way to firm up a bid? +
Use this for the discovery call. Then schedule a site visit. Most builders find their per-gal range tightens with experience — track your jobs and dial it in.
