Our Process
Initial Consultation & Design
We will schedule a visit to collaborate and discuss your ideas, design style, and budget. Based on this consultation, we will create a design layout, rendition, and proposal for you to review.
Plans & Permitting
Once you’ve approved your design and sign a contract, we will create detailed construction plans to be submitted for permit approval with the applicable city and agencies.
Product Selections
The fun begins! We’ll meet so you can make final determinations on the finish materials that will be used in your project. You’ll make choices for tile, coping, plaster, decking material, and anything else included in your project at our office showroom so we can get orders placed to ensure availability for installation during that phase of construction.
Layout & Site Prep
Upon permit approval, we will lay out your pool by marking an outline of the pool area and prepare your yard for construction. We’ve done a lot of work to get to this point, but now you can see where your pool is going to be.
Excavation & Forming
The dirty work of construction begins. We will dig the shape of your pool, form the outside pool perimeter and install rebar, plumbing, and electrical bonding. This is a messy, but important process as it is the “foundation” of your pool.
Shotcrete
This is an exciting stage of the process where the shell of your pool is formed by spraying shotcrete, a wet mix concrete, through a high-pressure hose as our skilled crews work to form the shell and hand-sculpt features inside your pool such as steps, ledges, and benches.
Tile & Coping
The tile and coping selections you made earlier in the process will be installed on the perimeter of the pool by our skilled masons.
Decking
The area surrounding your pool will be installed based on the design. The timing of this phase will depend on the complexity of your project and the materials you choose.
Equipment Installation
This is when the equipment required to operate your pool will be set and electrical will be installed.
Plaster & Fill
The final step in the construction process! The interior finish you selected will be applied, your pool will be filled with water and you’re almost ready to swim. For the next week, your pool will need to be “brushed” twice a day. This is a critical step to a long-lasting, beautiful pool finish and must be completed.
Start-up & Pool School
We’ll balance the chemicals in your pool, verify everything is working properly, and provide an orientation on how to operate your new pool.
