Design Process

Below is the design process for your outdoor design.
We offer this proposal, including all original concepts and designs, with the agreement that you will not share them publicly, on social media, or with outside contractors without the permission of Pratt Guys. We do encourage you to share the site internally with your family and friends and build excitement for your project!

Design Waivers

Scope of Work Waiver: The design presented is conceptual in nature and does not define the final scope of work. Refer to your approved invoice on Buildertrend for a complete and accurate description of your included scope of work. Features or elements depicted in the design that are not specifically included in the approved invoice are not part of the contracted scope, regardless of their appearance in renderings or drawings.
Color and Selection Waiver: The drawings' materials and colors are for conceptual purposes only and may not represent your final selections. The Material and Color Selection Finalization Form takes priority over any shown materials or colors. Please note that actual colors may vary from what is seen on monitors or when printed.
Landscape Waiver: Any landscaping depicted on renderings is for conceptual purposes only. Landscape plan will verify specific plant species and sizes.
Survey Waiver: The design presented is based on the survey information provided by the client. Tree locations, topography, and other site-specific details are subject to verification and may require adjustments to ensure accuracy in implementation. Any discrepancies in the survey data could impact final design elements.
Special Features Waiver: Depictions of special features such as water and fire features are for conceptual purposes only. The velocity and volume of the water or fire will vary.
Engineering Waiver: Structural elements depicted on renderings are for conceptual purposes only. Engineering takes precedence over the size, location, and products used for structural masonry, wood framing, roofing, floors, etc.

Second Fire Pit

We added a second material option for the new fire pit so you can compare side by side:
Option 1: 42" quad concrete fire pit, matching the finish of the original fire pit
Option 2: Same size fire pit, but with smooth stucco walls to match the seating wall and limestone caps to match the seating wall caps
👉 Question: Which option do you prefer for the second fire pit?

Tanning Ledge - Umbrella Sleeve & Bubblers

All previous renderings showed (3) loungers, but we never fully locked in the exact setup. The number of loungers affects umbrella placement and bubbler locations, so I laid out three options:
Option 1:
(3) loungers (matching the renderings)
(2) 7’-6” umbrellas placed at the ends. They can not both fit if I place the umbrellas between the loungers.
(2) bubblers (this matches what’s currently included on the invoice)
Downside: umbrella coverage isn’t ideal due to the middle lounger
Option 2:
(4) loungers (or this could be adjusted to (2) loungers)
(2) 7’-6” umbrellas placed closer together for better coverage
(3) bubblers shown (one additional bubbler would increase cost)
Option 3 (my personal favorite):
(4) loungers shown (but flexible for (2) or f(4))
(1) larger 11' umbrella instead of (2) smaller ones
(3) bubblers shown (or this could be reduced to one)
This option gives the most flexibility long-term
For reference: Umbrella sleeves do not affect cost. Bubblers are priced per unit, and the current invoice includes two bubblers.
👉 Questions:
Do you prefer one large umbrella or two smaller umbrellas?
Are you leaning toward two, three, or four loungers on the tanning ledge?
Do you want to stay with two bubblers, or add more?

Spa Bench and Therapy Jets

The current invoice includes (6) therapy jets, but the layout and jet placement are very customizable.
Option 1:
Four-sided bench
More jets focused on the most desirable seating orientations (facing the cabana / TV)
Option 2:
U-shaped bench
(2) jets on each side. Left and Right sides have extra space between jets.
Beyond that, we can customize things further if you’d like:
Multiple jets at a single seat (upper and lower back) or footwell jets for calves
Seats with no jets
If we go beyond six total jets, that would increase the cost from what’s currently shown.
👉 Questions:
Do you prefer a four-sided bench or a U-shaped bench?
Are you happy with six jets total, or would you like to explore more customization?
