Design & Engineering

Your pool drawn to scale on your survey, shown in 3D, then engineered and permitted before we dig.

Consultation and site visit

We walk the yard with you and talk through size, shape, depth and features. We check access for equipment, the pad location, septic and utilities, then review your property survey and sketch a layout on it. You get a ballpark range before we design anything.

​

Design

We draw your pool to scale on your survey. You see the 2D layout and 3D renderings before anything is priced. Size, depths, steps, sun shelf, bench and deck are set with you. Changes are easy at this stage, so take your time.

​

Measured, to scale, with every spec listed

Your layout comes with a spec sheet: size, depth, volume, lights, tile, coping and deck area. Setbacks and distances to the house and lot lines are checked first. This is the drawing the engineer works from.

Engineering

You order an updated survey with spot elevations. Our engineer produces signed and sealed pool plans from your approved layout.

​

Permits

We submit and track the building, plumbing and electrical permits. Permitting typically takes about 4 to 8 weeks.

​

The rules your pool is designed and inspected to

Florida Building Code: structure, plumbing and energy rules for the pool.

Pool Safety Act, Chapter 515: a barrier, a safety cover, or door and window alarms before final.

National Electrical Code, Article 680: bonding, GFCI protection and light wiring.

Virginia Graeme Baker Act: anti-entrapment drain covers and suction safety.

Your city: setbacks, lot coverage and drainage, flood zone and where the equipment can sit.

​

In an HOA?

Many associations require architectural approval before we can permit, and set their own rules on fences, screen enclosures, deck materials and where equipment sits. Send us your HOA guidelines early so the design follows them.
