A Step-by-Step Guide to the Pool Construction Process

Imagine transforming your backyard into a personal oasis where you can relax, entertain, and make lasting memories with your loved ones. Pool construction is one of the best ideas. Building your ideal pool is a thrilling activity that requires meticulous planning and consideration. Whether you want a beautiful hideaway or a functional area for fitness and leisure, a step-by-step guide will help you realize your vision and ensure every detail aligns with your vision.

Let’s dive into the four essential stages of pool construction:

STEP 1 – Pre Construction

Pre-Processing: All plans and legal documents have been checked and verified. The pre-site and engineering equipment/products have been ordered.
Permitting: Your permit is prepared and submitted to your county. The time this takes will vary depending on the city/county.
Virtual Reality Design: The crew will input all of your information into the computer and work on creating your virtual reality oasis. This allows the crew to see all the information, such as measurements or last-minute design changes.
Final Processing & Layout: This is where all the pre-grade is ordered. If anything is already in the backyard, it will be removed to start renovating and digging. On your property, Elite Pools will paint a layout that exactly shows where your pool will go.

STEP 2 – Construction

Excavation: This is where things might get dirty! The excavator arrives and digs up the dirt where your new pool will be.
Equipment And Plumbing: Your pool equipment and plumbing will be installed now.
Steel & Electric: After Equipment and Plumbing, steel rebar with spacers is installed to create the structure for your pool. The electric wiring is then installed with all the necessary precautions.
Pre-Gunite Inspection: A city inspection is scheduled before progressing to the next stage.
Finishing shotcrete, waterfall, boulders, decking, pavers, and tile: Once the inspection is approved, we proceed by applying shotcrete to the interior of the pool for durability. This phase also allows for adding aesthetic features such as waterfalls and boulders if desired. Concurrently, we install decking and pavers to enhance the surrounding areas, while waterline tiles are carefully placed to add a touch of elegance and color coordination to the pool’s design. This comprehensive process ensures a seamless integration of all elements, elevating the overall beauty of your outdoor space.

STEP 3 – Post Construction

Clean Up: The debris in your backyard will be cleaned up and look brand new with a new pool.
Fencing And Acrylic (If Desired): If you desire, fencing will be put around your yard. If your pool’s design is applicable, acrylic material will be added to the decking and allowed 24 hours to cure.
Pre-Plaster Inspection: To ensure all barrier requirements are completed, a city inspection must be conducted with you, the homeowner, present.
Interior Finish: When the interior design is finally finished, we can fill your pool with water.

STEP 4 – Get Ready To Dive In!

Mechanical Start-Up: A start-up technician will start up all of your equipment, install a suction cleaner, and add all the necessary chemicals to help keep your pool perfect.
Introduction To Your New Pool: This is when you are practically done with the pool-building process!
