Initial Consultation and Design:

• Consultation: We start with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and requirements. This includes discussing the pool's size, shape, style, and any additional features you desire.
• Site Evaluation: Our team conducts a thorough site evaluation to assess the suitability of your property for pool installation, including soil conditions, topography, and access for construction equipment.
• Design: Based on your input and the site evaluation, we create a custom pool design that aligns with your vision. This includes selecting materials, finishes, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, and landscaping.

Permitting and Approvals:

• Permits: We handle all necessary permits and approvals required by local regulations and zoning laws. This ensures that the construction process complies with all legal requirements.
• Inspections: We coordinate with local authorities to schedule and pass all required inspections throughout the construction process.

Excavation and Site Preparation:

• Marking and Excavation: The pool area is marked, and excavation begins. Our team uses precise measurements and equipment to dig the pool's shape and depth according to the design specifications.
• Site Preparation: The excavation site is prepared with proper grading and compaction to ensure a stable foundation for the pool structure.

Structural Construction:

• Forming and Steel Reinforcement: Forms are set up to outline the pool's shape, and steel reinforcement is installed to provide structural integrity.
• Plumbing and Electrical: Plumbing lines for water circulation, filtration, and any additional features are installed. Electrical components for lighting and other equipment are also set up at this stage.

Shell Installation:

• Concrete/Gunite Application: The pool shell is constructed using either concrete or gunite, depending on the design and material preferences. This step involves spraying or pouring the material to form the pool's structure.
• Curing: The pool shell is allowed to cure for a specified period, ensuring it reaches the necessary strength and durability.

Finishing Touches:

• Tile and Coping Installation: Decorative tiles and coping (the edging around the pool) are installed to enhance the pool's appearance and functionality.
• Interior Finish: The interior surface of the pool is finished with materials such as plaster, aggregate, or tile, creating a smooth and visually appealing surface.

Decking and Landscaping:

• Pool Deck Construction: The pool deck is constructed using materials like concrete, pavers, or natural stone, providing a safe and attractive area around the pool.
• Landscaping: Additional landscaping elements, such as plants, trees, and lighting, are added to integrate the pool seamlessly into your outdoor space.

Equipment Installation and Testing:

• Filtration and Heating Systems: The pool’s filtration, heating, and circulation systems are installed and connected to ensure efficient operation.
• Testing and Balancing: The pool is filled with water, and all systems are tested to ensure proper functionality. Chemical levels are balanced to maintain water quality and safety.

Final Inspection and Handover:

• Final Inspection: A comprehensive final inspection is conducted to ensure that every aspect of the pool meets our high standards and all regulatory requirements.
• Handover and Training: We provide you with detailed instructions on pool operation and maintenance, ensuring you are fully equipped to enjoy your new pool.
