Custom Pool Design and Construction

One: Design Process

• The backyard plan is designed by you and our consultant.

Two: Permitting

• Your permit is prepared and submitted. Permit processing time varies by city. The CAD program may delay pool construction and may also require re-permitting.

Three: Final Processing

• The remainder of the file is processed and the plan goes through final detail. The pre-grade is ordered if landscaping or other objects need to be removed from the pool and deck areas.

Four: Layout

• Now it is time to paint the layout of the pool (and spa, if included)

Five: Excavation

• Things are about to get a bit dirty! At this point, the form boards are installed, and the excavator arrives and begins dirt removal.

Six: Equipment & Plumbing

• Your pool equipment and plumbing are installed. Unless there is a delayed equipment set.

Seven: Steel

• Steel-reinforced #4 rebar is placed throughout the pool structure and spacers are installed.

Eight: Electric

• The electricity is added to meet or exceed required standards.

Nine: Pre-Gunite Inspection

• A city inspection is now scheduled.

Ten: Shotcrete

• Shotcrete is installed to form the pool shell.

Eleven: Waterfall and Boulders

• Any water features are now installed!

Twelve: Decking

• Decking is installed.

Thirteen: Tile

• Waterline tile is installed.

Fourteen: Cleanup

• Things have been dusty for a while. At this point, we finally remove all the debris!

Fifteen: Fencing

• The access fence is now replaced.

Sixteen: Acrylic (if applicable)

• If applicable in your design, the acrylic material is applied to the decking. You will need to allow 24 hours for it to cure.

Seventeen: Pre-Plaster Inspection

• City inspection occurs to ensure all barrier requirements have been completed. You, as the homeowner, will need to be present for this.

Eighteen: Interior Finish

• Your interior finish is installed and the pool begins to fill with water. Some interiors require an acid wash the day before filling.

Nineteen: Start-Up

• A start-up technician starts up all equipment, installs the suction cleaner (if applicable), and adds the necessary chemicals.

Twenty: Orientation

• You will receive a tour and instructions to properly operate and maintain your new pool!
