Default What Contractor did you use?

I have always wanted a pool bath but have had no luck! Our home is a designer Lantana with 2.5 baths (there's an extra 1/2 bath off the laundry room). We have had four contractors come out, but none have come up with an easy or plausible way to connect to the existing plumbing/sewer line that is located diagonally in the front yard. One contractor said it would involve trenching around entire lanai and back to the front of the house and would involve a pump station. He also said the cost for a full bathroom including shower would be $50,000, which seems quite high. That doesn't even include climate control. We have a summer kitchen, so there's already water out to the lanai, and the bathroom would be located on that same side of the lanai (behind the summer kitchen wall). Another concern is busting up the cement on the lanai and not hitting any underground plumbing to the inground pool and/or inground spa. The new pool bath location would be on the side where the pool equipment (pumps, heater, etc.) is located. The contractors we had come out look to us for solutions and don't seem like they really want the job. Very surprising.

For those of you who are building, or have already added a pool bath, can you please provide your contractor's info? Also cost of addition. Thank you.
