The decision to build a swimming pool on your property or to update an existing one is an exciting one. This might also be a very scary time.A new pool, larger outdoor living area, upgraded landscaping, and other amenities can undoubtedly increase your house value, but the upfront cost may be intimidating.
Can We Anticipate Any Major Challenges During Construction?
Before any holes are dug in the ground, a pre-construction meeting will be conducted at the site. To make sure the design doesn’t require any tweaks, you, your design consultant, and a site supervisor will look through the plans and assess your yard.
Create the Pool Drain Holes.
This is the initial stage of the construction process. Your finished affordable pool will be a little smaller and shallower than the hole that has to be dug.
Cold Forging Steel
After the swimming pool has been excavated, the inside of the hole will be lined with “steel rebar.”
Citywide Checkups
After the steel rebar has been put, an inspector will examine the pool plans and the building site to verify they are up to code. Following that, preparations for the gunite stage will be made. You should plan on spending around 25 days in total on inspections during the duration of the construction project.
Installing Gunite or a Shell
Your pool’s shell and the steps leading into it are made of concrete, and a pneumatic system is utilised to pour the concrete. Swim-outs, fountains, and a gunite spa, if they are part of your pool’s design, will be installed at this time as well.
Clear the area and fill it in again.
Once the gunite has dried completely, the space around the walls and bracing may be backfilled. Once your deck and landscaping are complete, your surveyor will need to do a Tie in or Elevation Survey if you live in Parkland, Boca, Martin County, Miami Shores, or SW Ranches. Don’t forget to consider this possibility. Weston expects a pergola if you own a house in which one is available.
Plumbing System Setup and Verification
If your pool design calls for it, our plumbers will begin the installation procedure by digging trenches for the piping that will connect your pool to the pool’s machinery.
Patio Typical
Before installing the decking, our construction crew will flatten and level the sub-base that will serve as the patio’s foundation.
Repair and Replacement of Tiles and Coping
We have trained professionals that can tile your pool and pool coping.
The Decking Process
Our employees will sand and form your deck and any surrounding planting areas to your specifications. After this process is finished, we may add a rock or tile finish, whatever you like.
What You, the Homeowner, Are Responsible For
The property owner is responsible for the sod, landscaping, fences, sprinkler systems, and alarms unless otherwise specified in the contract.
Conclusion
Keep in mind that prior to the final inspections, these parts must be installed. Gates must close and lock automatically, and all outside doors must be accessible from the outside and in accordance with Florida building codes. At least 54 inches must separate each gate latch from the floor. The homeowner should contact their survey company (the homeowner may get the previous survey firm’s contact information) once the sod has been laid. For security purposes, the currently installed fencing will need review.
