The Construction Process

Getting approval from HOA

Customer communicates with HOA. If a site illustration is requested, we will provide the necessary information

Necessary Permits

Construction Permit – We will pull
Electrician Permit – Licensed electrician needs to pull
Plumbing Permit – Licensed plumber needs to pull

Timeline of Construction

Pool construction: 2-3 weeks
Concrete decking: 1 week per pour
Sprinkler repair: Couple days
Landscaping (retaining walls, softscape/hardscape, sod): 1-3 weeks
Fence: 2 week

This is the typical pool timeline. Weather and unforeseen obstacles may affect schedule. During the construction process we regularly inform the customer what will be completed for the day/week. Mentally plan for your yard to be torn up for 2 months and just remember it must get worse before it gets better!

Necessary Inspections

Plumbing: Inspect inside waste-line and 25 psi on underground plumbing (Plumber)
Bonding: Inspect bonding of all metal components 3 ft. around pool (Electrician)
Electrical: Inspect electrical panel and wiring (Electrician)
