ALL TILE POOLS (PRICE PER SQ. FT)

[AQUASPRINKLE]

HELLO, ACTUALLY AN ESTABLISHED POOL BUILDER FOR NEARLY 27 YEARS. RECENTLY STARTED A PROJECT FOR AN ALL TILE POOL INSTALLATION OF NEARLY 800 SQ. FT (INCLUDES VERTICAL SURFACES AS WELL) IN 1" MOSAIC TILE. MY QUESTION TO THE REST OF THE PROFESSIONAL POOL COMMUNITY IS WHAT IS YOUR AVERAGE CHARGE PER SQ. FT WHEN DOING AN "ALL TILE" INSTALLATION VS WATERLINE TILE ONLY W/ TRADITIONAL PLASTER OR DIAMONDBRITE. I WANT TO BE FAIR TO MY CLIENT, BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT GROSSLY UNDERCHARGING FOR THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE ARE UNDERTAKING. KEEP IN MIND, WE HAVE DONE INTENSE SURFACE PREP AND HYDROBAN SEALER COATS TO THE SHELL PRIOR TO INSTALLING SAID TILE. THE TILE SUPPLIER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN USING THE RIGHT MATERIALS AND PREPARATIONS AS THIS IS NEW GROUND FOR US. TYPICALLY WE HAVE ALWAYS JUST PROVIDED TRIM TILE AND PLASTER SERVICES, BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD ONE WITH ALL TILE. THE LOOK IS AMAZING, BUT THE TIME IT'S TAKING IS CRAZY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS AN ADDENDUM TO THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT THAT WAS FOR TRADITIONAL SURFACING. WE HAVE LEFT THIS KIND OF OPEN ENDED AS WE ARE LONG TIME FRIENDS. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO DISCOUNT THIS OFF OF A NATIONAL AVERAGE BECAUSE OF OUR NEWNESS IN DOING THIS TYPE OF SURFACE, BUT CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO GO BROKE OVER IT EITHER. ANY THOUGHTS OR OPINIONS FROM ANY PRO HAVING BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD ALREADY ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
