Question 1

What types of projects does Bluevue create?

Accepted Answer

Bluevue designs and builds complete outdoor environments, including custom pools, patios, cabanas, outdoor kitchens, fire features, landscaping, lighting, turf, and full-property transformations.

We also take on select standalone patio and landscape projects when the scope offers meaningful design opportunity.

Question 2

What is the typical investment for a Bluevue project?

Accepted Answer

Standalone patio, landscape, lighting, turf, and fire-feature projects generally begin around $30,000.

Custom pool environments typically begin around $150,000, while more comprehensive projects involving structures, kitchens, specialty features, and extensive landscaping often range from $250,000 to $500,000 or more.

Every property is different, and we will help you understand what is realistic for your goals before the design process begins.

Question 3

Do I need to know my exact budget?

Accepted Answer

Not at all.

Many homeowners come to us with a clear vision but little familiarity with current construction costs. We will help you explore the possibilities, understand the likely investment, and shape the project around the priorities that matter most.

Question 4

What makes Bluevue different from a traditional pool company?

Accepted Answer

Bluevue looks beyond the pool itself.

We consider how the architecture, patios, landscaping, lighting, structures, materials, and gathering spaces work together as one complete experience.

As licensed general contractors, we are also able to coordinate complex construction and multiple trades through one cohesive design-build process.

Question 5

Do you take on projects without a pool?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Bluevue designs and builds standalone patios, courtyards, fire-feature areas, landscape renovations, lighting, turf, pergolas, and other outdoor-living improvements.

These projects generally begin with a construction investment of $30,000.

Question 6

Does Bluevue charge a design fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Our design fee allows us to thoughtfully study the property, explore possibilities, create the 3D model, develop the concept, and present a clear vision for the finished space.

When the project moves forward into construction with Bluevue, the design fee is credited toward the Bluevue project as outlined in the design agreement.

Question 7

Will I see the project in 3D?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Bluevue uses detailed 3D renderings and virtual walkthroughs to help clients experience the design before construction begins.

These presentations allow you to see how the spaces connect, understand material relationships, and feel the overall flow of the outdoor environment.

The renderings are part of Bluevue’s design-build process and remain the intellectual property of Bluevue.

Question 8

Can my project be built in phases?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes.

A well-developed master plan allows the property to be completed thoughtfully over time while protecting future access, drainage, utilities, elevations, and construction sequencing.

We can help determine whether phasing makes sense for your property and goals.

Question 9

Does Bluevue renovate existing pools and outdoor spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

We enjoy reimagining existing outdoor spaces and finding ways to preserve valuable features while improving the overall design.

This may include updating an existing pool, replacing patios or coping, reducing unnecessary hardscaping, adding landscaping, introducing new gathering spaces, or incorporating a cabana, kitchen, or fire feature.

Question 10

Does Bluevue handle permits and construction coordination?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Bluevue manages the construction process, including permitting, scheduling, trade coordination, material planning, and project oversight.

Our clients have one coordinated team guiding the project from design through completion.

Question 11

What happens after the design is approved?

Accepted Answer

Once the design direction is approved, we refine the scope, confirm materials, prepare detailed pricing, coordinate engineering and permits, and develop the construction agreement.

From there, the project is placed into the Bluevue construction schedule and prepared for kickoff.

Question 12

How do I know whether Bluevue is the right fit?

Accepted Answer

Bluevue may be a good fit if you value thoughtful design, quality materials, clear communication, professional project management, and an outdoor space that feels connected to your home and lifestyle.

We work best with homeowners who want more than a collection of features. They want a complete environment, carefully considered from every angle.
