A proposal from Stillwater is written to be compared: scope, allowances and schedule, each on its own line.
How a proposal is built.
We separate the scope from the allowances and the schedule, so you can see what a figure buys and what would move it. Permits, engineering and inspections are listed where they apply, never folded into a number you cannot check.
- Which items are allowances, and what happens when a selection exceeds one?
- How are permits, engineering and inspections shown in the proposal?
- What would change the price after the contract is signed?
Put this perspective into practice.
Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your site assessment.
Lap & plunge pools
Compact pools for swimming, cooling off and small yards, with heating and jets sized for daily use.
- How will usable swimming length, depth and entry needs guide the layout?
- What setbacks, circulation space and equipment access must fit around a compact pool?
- How will heating, covers, operating needs and the surrounding terrace be specified?
Lighting & water features
Color LED lighting, sheer descents, bubblers and fire bowls that make the pool the view after dark.
- What atmosphere, visibility and sound levels do I want the lighting or water feature to create?
- How will qualified trades address electrical requirements, placement and compatibility with pool equipment?
- What controls, service access, water use and maintenance requirements should I compare?
Custom concrete pools
Gunite pools shaped to your site and the way you live, from sun shelves to vanishing edges, built by our own crews.
- How do soil conditions, access and excavation needs affect a custom concrete pool concept?
- Which structural design, shell specification, waterproofing and finish details will the proposal document?
- How are drainage, setbacks, utility relocation and landscape restoration addressed in the project scope?
