my buddy made two mistakes from jump. he did not do any research on the 1st guy what's so ever, and did not have complete contract docs. meaning no plans, except a few sketches that the county much to my surprise approved and issued a permit.

I believe had he had a better plan set, with a good contract that included a schedule and milestones for payment and look into who he was hiring more closely we'd both be swimming by now. in the end he will likely pay 1.5x the cost of what the pool should have cost. fortunately he has the money.
