Anyone Have A Means Cost Guide


I'm involved, on a volunteer basis, in planning the renovation of our neighborhood pool. Anyone have any cost data for the application of plaster 1/2" to 5/8" thick on concrete pools?

I have a neighbor who is an architect and he lent me his book for a few days. at that time I copied every page relating to roofing siding and gutters.

I know that is of zero help to you.

PipeGuy,
I have the Residential Repair and Remodeling 2006 book. What catagory do you think it would be under? In the meantime I'll try to search it out.

I'm guessing - Division 9 (Finishes) or 13 (Specialty Construction). I really don't know for sure.

Pool plaster is a 'shotcrete' product. It's sprayed on with compressed air and then skilled artisans (from the local 7-11 parking lot) with Marlboro Light 100's dangling from their mouths hand trowel it smooth to a thickness of about 3/8". The plaster is 1 part white portland cement and 2 parts marbelite sand.
