Compare Pool Proposals Before You Choose a Builder
Pool proposals can look similar on price while describing very different projects. PoolScope reviews competing proposals side by side so you can see what’s included, what’s missing, what’s different, and what should be clarified before you sign.
Upload 2–5 contractor proposals for the same project.
The Lowest Proposal Isn’t Necessarily the Lowest Price.
One builder may include more decking. Another may specify different equipment. Site work, electrical, gas, drainage, permits, allowances, warranties, and owner responsibilities can all be handled differently.
Until those differences are understood, comparing only the bottom-line totals can be misleading.
PoolScope helps you compare what you’re actually buying.
How It Works
Step 1
Upload
Upload 2–5 pool proposals for the same project, along with any related contracts, addenda, or supporting documents.
Step 2
Compare
PoolScope analyzes the written proposals independently and compares scope, equipment, pricing, allowances, exclusions, responsibilities, warranties, and contract terms.
Step 3
Get Your Report
Receive a clear Pool Proposal Comparison Report showing meaningful differences, unanswered questions, and what should be clarified before you choose a builder.
More Than Just the Price
Pool & Spa Scope
Dimensions, features, benches, ledges, spas, water features and other built-in elements.
Equipment & Specifications
Pumps, filters, automation, sanitation, heaters, lighting and mechanical systems.
Decking & Materials
Quantities, coping, finishes, allowances and owner-supplied materials.
Site & Utility Responsibility
Excavation, dewatering, electrical, gas, drainage, access, restoration and permitting.
Pricing & Cost Exposure
Contract totals, allowances, options, exclusions, additional-cost triggers and arithmetic discrepancies.
Contract Clarity
Payment terms, warranties, missing documents, contradictions and unanswered questions.
A Score for the Proposal — Not the Builder
Each proposal receives a Proposal Documentation Score based on how clearly and completely the written proposal explains what is being offered.
The score does not rate contractor workmanship, reputation, honesty, licensing, or construction quality.
PoolScope evaluates the documents you have—not assumptions about the companies behind them.
That is a major credibility statement. I would include it prominently.
