​What happens after you've signed the contract? Many homeowners ask us this question, so here is a general idea of the construction process. Should you have any questions during the process, please don't hesitate to ask.

1. Engineered Drawings:
Once you have approved the drawings, all permit application paperwork is submitted to your city or municipality. The permitting process could take 2 to 8 weeks, depending on your municipality.

2. Layout and Excavation:
Once we receive your permit, construction begins with the layout of your pool spray painted out on the ground according to the plans. The excavation is done using a large or small machine depending on the access to your property.

3. Form and Steel:
During this process, the walls and floor of the pool/spa are created and reinforced with steel rebar.

4. First inspection is called in.

5. Gunite/Shotcrete:
When the inspection has passed, gunite or shotcrete is "shot" into the steel reinforced hold to create the shell of the pool.

6. Backfilling:
The support boards are removed from the outside of the pool shell and then the soil is backfilled and completed. (Depending upon the location of your property, some municipalities require a compaction test.)

7. Plumbing:
Installation of the pool/spa's pipes and light conduits.

8. Plumbing inspection is then called in.

9. Tile & Coping:
Installation of the pool/spa tile and coping (that was chosen by you.)

10. Pool deck:
Installation of the deck material. (your choice: concrete, paver or marble paver)

11. Deck inspection is called in.

12. Equipment set/Electric hook-up:
Installation of the pool/spa equipment. Electric is hooked up by a licensed electrician.

13. Electric inspection is called in.

14. Barrier:
State of Florida requires all swimming pools need to have a barrier. The barrier can be a perimeter fence or screen enclosure with window and door alarms or a child proof "baby fence" around the pool.

15. Barrier inspection is called in.

16. Interior finish:
Installation of the pool/spa interior finish. The plaster crew then fills the pool up with a water hose that runs through a filter tank.

17. Start up:
Once the pool/spa is full. The filter tank is removed, the equipment is turned on and the chemicals are added. Once the chemicals are balanced (about 1 week), stabilizer is added to help maintain the chemical's balance.
18. Final inspection is called in.
19. Some municipalitive out a Certificate of Completion. If you live in one of these municipalities then you will receive one.
