Clear Blue Pools builds custom in-ground pools ranging in price from $18,000 to $36,000. Dr. Jim Hardin, a local plastic surgeon has asked Clear Blue Pools to show him a portfolio of pools. Dr. Hardin has selected a model that calls for materials of $18,000, and labor and overhead of $13,000, but Dr. Hardin wants some handicap features not included in the model that would add another $4,000 to the cost but does not want to pay more than $32,000. Clear Blue Pools typically prices its pools based on the total cost of construction plus 15%.
