Why Most Pool Projects Start the Wrong Way
Most homeowners meet with two to four pool builders, wait weeks for designs, and still can’t compare prices—because every builder designs something different.
On top of that, most pool companies spend 4–7% of every project on marketing, lead services, sales commissions, and in-house designers. That cost is baked into your price—whether you realize it or not.
The result?
Long waits
Multiple meetings
Confusing proposals
Inflated pricing
Pressure to “sign now”

That’s a choice—but it often means starting over and reintroducing guesswork. Builders who work with ProTerra value accurate site data and complete specs because it saves them time and reduces risk. You’re free to choose any builder, but starting with a professional design keeps the process efficient and transparent.

No—it usually does the opposite. By completing the design and site data upfront, builders can price faster, avoid redesign cycles, and move into permitting and construction with fewer delays and change orders.
