My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pool Construction Question

8 years ago

We are currently building a pool (a first for us). We have been monitoring the progress and noticed all the pipes at the bottom of the pool and don't know what they are for. The only thing we can think of is an in-ground automatic cleaning system. We did not opt to do this expensive upgrade and I am worried we are going to have to pay for it after the fact. Anyone have any insight for us?
