Construction Process
1. Engineering/Permits/Plans
After funds are secured and you give us the "go-ahead" we will acquire specific engineering for your project, and produce a set of detailed plans. We will then use those plans and engineering to submit for your permits.
2. 811
After we receive your permits from the building department we will drop copies off and schedule 811 before we dig to locate any city or county owned utility lines
3. Excavation
After 811 is approved we will spray paint the pool out with you the day of excavation and then begin your new pool!
4. Plumbing/Electrical
During this phase we will do all underground plumbing, electrical, and if your project calls for it, gas lines. All the lines will install will be placed under pressure to assure no leaks, and as required for inspection.
5. Rebar & Inspection
We will install all rebar as required by your engineering. This phase we will also place stubs that will allow your entire pool to be grounded. Once the install is complete its time to call your first inspection, you will not need to be home for this
6. Gunite
Once the inspection passes, it is time for the most exciting part of the build. Your pool will now take shape. Its time to gunite!
7. Tile
Tile is when we start to see the finishing touches begin. We will laser set the tile you selected from our showroom
8. Deck Forms/Inspection
We will grade the deck area, frame out your pool deck, and install a bond wire around the entire perimeter. Once Complete we will call for your Pre-Deck inspection and get ready to pour concrete
9. Deck Pour
Once the inspection has passed its time to pour concrete! At this point your project is really starting to come together.
10. Stone & Steptile
If your project has a raised area we will install the stone you selected as well as install step tile if you selected this upgrade.
11. Equipment Install
Our own crew will install your pool equipment such as your pump, filter, lights, heater, and automation.
12. Cleanup/Prep/Fences
We will do a rough grade in the construction area, and remove any and all construction debris. The crew will cleanout the inside of the pool, pressure wash the deck, and leave your alarms in preparation for your inspection.
13. Pre-Plaster Inspection
If your building department requires a pre-plaster inspection we will call this for you and have them meet you on site to check your alarms and barriers.
14. Pool Interior
Time to swim! If you have plaster we will plaster the pool and the crew will begin to fill right away. If you have a pebble interior we will apply the pebble, and come back to acid wash and fill the following business day
15. Chemical Startup
Once the pool has reached mid tile let us know and our certified staff will come out and add your first batch of chemicals and start your pool equipment
16. Final Inspection
Some building departments require another inspection after the water is in and everything is running. If this applies to your project we will call for it at this point.
17. Pool Orientation
After your 3 to 5 day chemical startup you will meet with our knowledgeable tech and he will go over equipment operations and connect your automation controls with you and explain how everything works.
18. Designer Walkthrough
Now you are enjoying your pool you will schedule a walkthrough with your designer to discuss any punch list or warranty items
