Raised Pool Deck for inground pool-HELP!

We are getting pricing for an inground pool 14 x 28' and wanted a raised deck (12" up) with a 6" step leading up to the deck and a 3 ft. sheer descent waterfall that would surround about 25% of the pool in one corner (maybe 80 sq ft area). Upgrade pricing for the raised deck with waterfall has ranged from $1,200 to about $5,800 on top of the pool price.

Can anyone help me on what it should cost for this deck $5,800 seems absurd.

Thanks!

I am not sure what you are wanting exactly but we have a 2 ft sheer descent that is raised about 15-18 inches high with 2 stairs to the top. I do not remember getting charged any extra for this. Look at our pool build http://www.thathomesite.com/forums/load/pools/msg0718532217198.html?21
I hope this helps :)

Perhaps some of the costs are elsewhere. Have you only received one proposal so far?

it's had to say how all the pricing is done. We basically agreed initially for a screened pool with pavers to be included in the home price. Now these are the "upgrade charges" if we want to add anything besides a plain pool. The builder is choosing the pool company but changed their mind on who they wanted to use after i already got pricing from the first company so these are my two prices from the previous and current company. Just not sure why the second company is saying it is so much more for this raised deck area?
