We had the same thing happen. After seeing the pool drawn out on the ground, we tweaked it for about an hour. The thing I thought was interesting was the PB's response. Before we starteded tweaking, all of his conversation was about how they priced the pool and that they priced the structural part of the pool based on the perimeter. He was very clear, that the more perimeter we added, the more the pool would cost.

What happened was interesting, we ended up making the pool a little longer but we also, smoothed out some of the curves in the pool. The net effect was to add size (surface area) to the pool, while REDUCING the perimeter. Of course when this happened the PB had to try and justify the costs some other way.

jaiv, I'm in construction (architect), and if you're concerned that the excavator will be confused by the multiple marks then I can almost guarantee that he will be. You might want to run to Lowe's or HD and buy some marker paint in a different color than what was used on your yard and go over the correct marks with the new paint. Then when they excavate there won't be any questions about which marks to use.

I STRONGLY second this. Your builder should have brought a 2nd color to do a layout.
I always bring blue, black, and white upside down marking paint for just this reason.

See ya,

Thanks for all the help! I am still waiting for the PB to come out and measure the new layout! I will go over with another color--great tip!

I will post pictures as soon as I can figure it out!
