Phase 1: Consultation & Design

Your journey begins with a meticulous property survey. Erik personally conducts site visits to evaluate elevations and electrical requirements, ensuring your custom pool is structurally sound and perfectly designed for your specific needs.

Phase 2: Permitting & Engineering

Navigating local regulations can be complex. We manage the entire municipality review process for you—permitting is usually completed in under 4 weeks, though in some circumstances it may take longer depending on your property, build, and municipality. Using advanced software tracking, we keep you updated every step of the way.

Phase 3: The Build - Steel & Strength

This is where our 'Master Builder' expertise shines. We utilize 12x12 grid steel rebar reinforcement—surpassing standard requirements. Erik’s oversight means he’s on-site managing excavation, well-pointing for groundwater, and plumbing to ensure long-term structural integrity.

Phase 4: The Transformation

The final 'wow' moment. We move through the concrete shoot, high-end finishes, and rigorous safety inspections. We don't just hand over a pool; we ensure your family’s new oasis is safe, functional, and ready for memories.
