If you don't mind me asking...what did that cost you? I know you sub'd it out yourself right? I'm also hoping to do a pool next year and these details would greatly help out.
My pool would have cost 1/2 if I didn't have the rock. The rock work will put your wallet in a tailspin. It took them 2 1/2 months JUST to put the rockwork in. And if you don't get a good rock guy you will be F'ed. I know a guy who hired a company who said they could do rock work. Let's just say nicely that they used the same material with VERY different results.
I did owner builder but my contractor is a licensed masonry company (thus the rock work) but he has been building pools as owner/builder for over 20 years. So he managed and subbed the entire job. He did everything in my yard: concrete, patio cover, BBQ house, retaining walls, fountain, courtyard, pool, grass, plants, trees and sprinklers. The whole package deal brought a lot of my costs down.
Here are some older photos right after we filled it:

very very nice
Very nice RRX. I just went through doing my backyard up. I didn't do a pool but we did an oversized spa with a huge waterfall, built-in BBQ, Patio Cover, Concrete, Landscaping etc. I spent about 60K when all said and done. I added and upgraded a lot of stuff along the way. I could of added a pool for another 10K but I didn't want the upkeep. I had about 20 different bids before I chose one. This company was 15K cheaper than any of the other bids, plus the spa, waterfall, BBQ, and sq feet of concrete was a lot bigger and they did great work. I am happy with the work they did. I agree the rock work is key. It took them 2 weeks just to build the waterfall. It is all boulders with some pieces of slate stone. Just moving the boulders was a job in it-self.
Just for perspective...a leap from the top rock is 10 1/2 feet from the rock to the surface of the water. It is like a cliff dive. Also fun to rock climb across when the water is falling.
ours is almost done,20x40 bar stools in water with bar 40 yards of concrete slab colored and stamped fire pit half the pool is raised 2ft so quite a bit of tile.65k out the door.will gets pics when done.
