How ProTerra Imagery Works
Clarity first. Pressure last.
Building a pool or outdoor living space is a major investment.
Most homeowners feel rushed into decisions, overwhelmed by competing proposals, and unsure whether they’re truly comparing apples to apples.
Why Getting Pool & Backyard Quotes Is So Confusing
Most homeowners schedule multiple “free” design consultations with different builders. Each company creates a different layout, a different vision, and a different price.
This leads to:
Apples-to-oranges comparisons
Confusion about what’s included
Pricing based on assumptions instead of real data
Surprises and change orders later
You’re forced to make a major financial decision without clear, consistent information.
Start With Design. Then Talk to Builders.
ProTerra Imagery works for you, not a construction contract. We begin with accurate drone mapping and professional 3D design of your property and project — before you request bids.
Now, instead of builders guessing or selling different ideas, they are pricing the same clear plan.
Why “Free Designs” Often Aren’t Actually Free
Most pool and outdoor living companies use commission-based sales and design teams. The person designing your project is typically paid a percentage of the final construction contract.
Those commissions can be substantial — and they are built into the total project price.
So while the design appointment may feel free, the cost of that sales and design process is passed on to you.
A Different Model That Works in Your Favor
ProTerra Imagery separates design from construction. You pay a clear, upfront fee for professional site modeling and design — and that fee is far less than the commissions built into traditional builder pricing.
What this means for you
You’re paying directly for design, not hidden markups
Builders don’t need to cover large sales commissions in their bids
You see more competitive contractor pricing
You save time by avoiding multiple sales-driven design meetings
You gain professional planning and cost savings

We Work for You, Not on Commission
Traditional pool and outdoor living designs are often created by commission-based salespeople whose compensation is built into construction pricing.
ProTerra Imagery is different. Our design and site modeling services are separate from construction, helping you plan clearly, compare bids fairly, and avoid the added cost of large built-in sales commissions.
