Need bathroom in pool birdcage
 
Any recommendations for contractors to put a bathroom in a birdcage ?

I would check with the local building department; I believe this would be an extension of the house, and I am sure there will be strict code requirements. However, your biggest problem may be the drain line, you may not have sufficient slope for the drain (assuming your sewer connection is in the front of the house). While I realize the general rule is anything goes inside the birdcage, this may be pushing the point, you may want to check with ARC on this also. The birdcage foundation may not be suitable for your planned addition.
IMHO, I believe this will be a fairly large and complicated project. I hope this works out for you.

On a side note, if all you need is an outdoor shower, this can be accomplished much easier, I have seen a few pools with these installed inside the birdcage.

Like Tink said...........it's an addition.

But, drain line is not an issue.............there are many pump options to use.

Creative option? Chem toilet? Compostable toilet?

Melton Construction has done many of these. The most recent one for one of my customers.

Bathroom addition
 
I suspect the OP wants this as a changing-room option so people don't track water etc. into the house. PLUS the toilet addition would be nice too. I have a friend whose got one but I think perhaps they'd put it in when they had the house built. I didn't ask.....maybe they'll weigh in here.

Good luck…. With todays prices it will cost a small fortune. I got bids to add a small addition on for a golf cart. Three walls and a door and a little electric… $60,000. Insane.

Is the OP technically wanting an outhouse here? How far could the pool be to the nearest bathroom? Maybe they really just want a change room with a shower and a drain which is a much simpler project.

Well, my wife called your company yesterday about an electrical switch that needed changed INSIDE THE HOME to control 4 flood lights attached to the OUTSIDE OF THE HOME AND OUTDOOR KITCHEN and was told your company does not do electrical work around a pool; both sets of lights are at least 10’ away from the pool.

Anthropomorphic I pool birdcage
 
Not sure of your model. We have a designer and master bath is on same wall as pool. We just put a door in that goes right to the toilet room. Works perfectly.

Home bathrooms on other side of house...

JPI Construction do great work

You need to call a plumber first to see where your drain pipe cleanup is located. If it is on the wrong side of the house from where you want the bathroom - "Good Luck"!

A pool bath is a nice addition to an outdoor experience. Not only is it convenient; it also eliminates traipsing wet through the house. (and hopefully no peeing in the pool). Also since you and guests use your lanai and cage area other than splashing in the pool, its a handy powder room.

I would contact T&D for a quote. They would be a one stop shop.
