First time pool buyer

We are reviewing proposals from pool builders in North Texas and quite honestly are a little surprised at how expensive the pools are. This is our first experience with building a pool so my only "experience" is reading this board. I'm concerned the contractor may be taking advantage of our inexperience? I would really appreciate your honest opinion and suggestions on the proposal.
