Pump, filter, heater, automation and lighting.
Features and finishes
Water features, bubblers, deck jets, coping, tile, interior finish and decking.
Plans and permits

Assumptions and exclusions
What the price assumes, and what is not in it.

How QuickPoolQuote does it
What it should say it assumes
Standard soil, standard access and standard engineering conditions. If any of those change at the site visit, the price can change too. Saying so up front builds trust.
Landscaping, fencing and safety barriers, outdoor kitchens and structures are often separate unless they are listed. A clear estimate says what is in and what is out.
