How To Plan Your Pool Project

You are ready to construct a pool at your house or remodel your existing one. There are several things to consider when planning your project. Ensure your swimming pool construction goes smoothly by taking the necessary steps before you begin.

Vision Board

Think about your wishes for your new project and the surrounding area. Gather pictures of design ideas you like, lighting examples, landscape features and put them together on a vision board or in a book. This way, you can effectively communicate your ideas to the builders clearly and concretely.

Necessary Permits

It is vital to do your homework regarding the required permits for your area. If you do not address the legal requirements adequately, the permit process can be long and frustrating. You must apply, pay for and obtain a permit before swimming pool construction begins. You may need an updated survey of your property. You will need to have your current residential plot plan and the panel layout and dig specs of the work to be done. Professional builders will help you through the process, ensuring you have the right information and permits.

Pool Contractors

When choosing a project manager to design and build your pool, consider the following:

• How much experience does the builder have with swimming pools?
• Does the company have good reviews, references and testimonials?
• Does the contractor have a good reputation for completing projects on time?
• Are they able to maintain and work within your budget?
• Are there sufficient avenues of communication available to ensure everything runs smoothly?

Preparation

Once you have consulted with the builders regarding your vision, you can prepare your property for construction. Check with your HOA to ensure you have permission to begin and understand the neighborhood guidelines. Professional builders can plan to preserve landscape features and create an oasis that follows the rules but maintains your vision as well.

Consult with experienced professionals to help you design and install the pool of your dreams. Work with a company with the expertise to make sure your swimming pool construction turns out how you envision it.
