New Construction

1. Consultation and Site Assessment

During your free consultation, we nail down your inground pool vision and provide you with an upfront estimate and timeline. We’ll also thoroughly explain the construction process so that you have clear expectations for our deliverables, starting on day one.

2. Design Your Dream Pool

Our next step is to provide renderings of your wants and needs. We’ll present our initial design plans, then revise them according to your input. Our crew will also explain any pros and cons that come along with the final design before confirming it.

3. Obtain the Necessary Permits

In Florida, approval for an inground pool permit can easily take up to 6 weeks. However, we do our best to expedite the mandatory process and are often able to push permit approvals to an average of 3 weeks time, depending on the complexity of the project.

4. Excavate and Begin Construction

Before we begin the excavation, we’ll partially set up the pool layout and mark it to ensure accuracy. Depending on the land elevation, we may also add well points to keep the ground dry. The excavated dirt will then be hauled off-site unless it’s needed for leveling or grading.

5. Structure Reinforcement

After the space has been dug, we will install steel rebar as a caged outline of the pool. This rebar will reinforce the concrete pool shell that will be shot through a high-pressure nozzle. Before the concrete is sprayed, we will also schedule a required steel inspection.

6. Pool Shaping and Tiling

Although the overall shape of the inground pool is formed by the steel cage, we will refine it by hand troweling. This forms the final shell of the pool. After the shell is cured, we will meticulously install level tile and coping around the pool’s perimeter to create a waterline.

7. Plumbing and Electrical Work

Next, we’ll dig trenches to install plumbing lines and pool light conduits. These trenches will lead to the customer-approved site, where our electrician will install a pool equipment panel. This panel will power the pool’s lights, pump, automation features, and any other electrical equipment.

8. Decking and Landscaping

Decking is one of the final steps and varies depending on the size and product. Our clients can choose from a range of materials, including shellstone, marble, travertine, or concrete pavers. Once the deck is installed, landscaping the perimeter of the deck will truly transform your backyard into a Great Escape.

9. Interior Finish

The final (but crucial) part of the construction is the installation of the pool's interior. After that, our team will conduct final touches around the pool equipment to make sure it is operable and will function as it should.

10. Final Touches

After all construction has been completed, we aren't finished yet! We will begin our 28-day Pool Startup and Pool School. For the first 28 days, we will maintain your pool and provide hands-on guidance to ensure you learn how to properly care for it and use all the equipment.
