Expert Swimming Pool Estimating and Takeoff Accuracy
A pool bid goes wrong when one part gets left out. Miss the pump or undercount the coping, and the cost comes out of your profit. We fix that. ACON Engineering reads your plans and prices every part of the pool, from the rebar and gunite shell to the return lines, filter, plaster, and safety covers. We work with the CSI Division 13 and Division 32, the divisions that cover pool and site construction, so your estimate matches how the pool is built. Our estimators use RSMeans and live zip code rates, with union or non-union labor to fit your project. You get one complete estimate, so nothing gets missed, and your bid holds.
Complete Swimming Pool Estimating Services
We cover every scope your pool bid needs, from takeoffs to custom spa work. Our team prices each one on your plans and delivers a complete estimate you can bid from. Each service below is managed by estimators who know pool work.
Quantity Takeoffs
We measure every material in your pool from the plans, including the shell, plumbing, equipment, and finishes. You get accurate quantities sorted by system, ready to price or drop into your own bid.
Bid Management
We organize your takeoffs and prepare a competitive pool bid package on time. From the quotation to the final scope review, we support your bid so you win a larger share of your projects.
Change Order Management
We estimate the cost impact of every change to the pool scope. When a design or material shifts, we measure how it moves your budget, so you stay in control through each revision.
Custom Pool and Luxury Spa Estimating
We estimate custom pools and luxury spas, including waterfalls, spas, custom tiling, and unique water features. Each takeoff prices the high-end materials and labor, so your bid matches the design the client wants.
Pool Drainage Estimating
We quantify your pool drainage system, including drains, return lines, piping, and the deck drainage around the pool. Each estimate covers the full drainage scope, so water management is priced, and nothing backs up later.
Pool Tiling Estimating
We measure tile, coping, and stone across the pool surface and edge. Our tiling takeoffs cover glass, mosaic, and stone with their setting materials, so your finish bid reflects the real cost.
What We Deliver With Your Pool Estimate
We deliver a full materials list with waste factors, labor hours by crew type, and cost per square foot, along with the total project cost. Every file comes in editable Excel and a color-coded, marked-up plan that shows each pool zone, with a clear list of inclusions and exclusions.
