Pool Construction

In General the pool construction process will take anywhere from 1 to 3 months to be completed. The actual timeline will depend on the size of the project, its complexity, whether any issues are encountered, the various products that have been selected, and on how quickly decisions are made. You will also need to allow 2 – 4 weeks lead time, for the engineering planning and the necessary documentations for permission to be prepared, from the time of signing.

Concrete pools must be constructed on solid ground as they cannot sit in fill. This sometimes means that soil test reports are required, as the engineer may need them to complete the structural design of the shell. Whether a soil test report is required or not will be determined during initial consultation.

Excavation typically takes a few days, which is followed by the plumbing, form work, steel fixing and concrete spraying (which takes 2 to 3 weeks). After this, the concrete is left to cure for around 4 weeks. Then, all the finishing touches can be applied – coping, tiling, rendering, fencing, interior lining and cleaning. Finally, the pool is ready to be filled and enjoyed.
