How Long is the Inground Pool Building Process
Embarking on the journey to create your custom pool is an exciting venture filled with anticipation. One of the most common questions we encounter at Oasis Pools is, “How long will it take?” Understanding the timeline from design inception to the first dive is crucial for setting realistic expectations. Here’s a breakdown of the typical timeline for designing and constructing a custom pool with Oasis Pools.
Initial Consultation and Design Phase
Week 1-2: Dreaming and Planning
Your custom pool journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your visions, needs, and preferences. This is the time to dream big and share your ideas with our design team. Within the first couple of weeks, we’ll assess your property, consider the possibilities, and start sketching the initial design concepts.
Week 3-4: Design Refinement and Approval
After presenting you with the initial designs, we’ll work together to refine and adjust these plans based on your feedback. This collaborative process ensures the final design perfectly aligns with your vision. Once you’re thrilled with the design, we finalize the plans, including selecting materials and detailing every aspect of the project.
Permitting and Pre-Construction
Week 5-6: Securing Permits
Before any construction begins, we need to secure the necessary permits from local authorities. The duration of this process can vary based on your location and the specifics of your project. Oasis Pools will handle this administrative task, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Week 7-8: Preparing the Site
With permits in hand, our team begins preparing your site for construction. This includes clearing the area, setting up access routes for machinery, and marking out the pool’s dimensions. Proper site preparation is key to a smooth construction phase.
Construction Phase
Week 9-12: Excavation and Structural Work
The construction phase kicks off with excavation, the process of digging out the space for your pool. Following excavation, we lay the foundation, construct the walls, and install the necessary plumbing and electrical systems. This phase is where you’ll start to see your pool take shape.
Week 13-16: Finishing Touches and Landscaping
Once the structure is in place, we focus on the finishing touches such as installing the pool liner or applying the finish for fiberglass pools, as well as adding tiles, coping, and decking. Concurrently, we begin landscaping and any additional features like lighting or water features that will complete your backyard oasis.
Final Inspection and Handover
Week 17-18: Inspection and Orientation
Before the grand reveal, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards and complies with all regulations. We then walk you through your new pool, explaining maintenance, features, and answering any questions you may have.
Week 18+: Dive In!
With the formalities out of the way, it’s time for the moment you’ve been waiting for – your first swim in your brand-new, custom-designed pool by Oasis Pools.
Setting Realistic Expectations
It’s important to note that these timelines are estimates and can be influenced by various factors such as weather conditions, project complexity, and any unforeseen challenges that may arise. At Oasis Pools, we strive to maintain open and transparent communication throughout the project, ensuring you’re informed and comfortable with the progress.
