Gunite Concrete Pool Costs

From How Much

Trying to budget for an inground swimming pool can be a challenge, especially because of the different costs in the different geographic markets.  Labor, Materials, Taxes and Fuel can vary greatly in different regions of the U.S.  This post from How Much gives the cost of an average small gunite pool for many of the major markets around the country.  Be careful when dealing with averages, however, as the article also points out.  There are always additional costs and considerations such as taxes, permit fees, engineering, customization, site clearing and preparation, material choices and quantities, etc., which the article is also careful to point out.  

Here is an excerpt from the post:

 Gunite concrete is a common choice for in-ground pool construction using typical concrete forms, reinforcement, and construction practices. In-ground pools typically require excavation and removal work, followed by onsite construction activity.

The cost to install an average Gunite concrete pool depends upon material and finish grade, finished surface area and material volume, preparation and special needs, and the labor rate.

In the following table the Labor Cost figure is what the able and prepared DIY persons should expect to save by performing the corresponding tasks.

In-ground pool: excavate and remove soil; build a 12′ x 24′ pool; include 20 mile transport range, material, equipment, and waste.
