The Process

Interested in building or remodeling a pool but not sure where to start?

1) In order to develop a concept for your home, you will need to locate your plot survey or plot plan. It is usually included with the closing papers of your home. This document is the legal description of your property and will give us important information such as the utility easements, aerial easements, setbacks, and aid us in properly scaling out your house for the design.

It is helpful to have some idea of what you would like to see in your backyard. This can be difficult to do but your input will help us come up with the ideas that truly reflect your personality and style. Amenities that may accompany the pool and help create exceptional backyard living spaces such as arbors, cabanas, firepits, fireplaces, landscape, summer kitchens might be considered. Our designers are trained and experienced, and can do a lot with a little information. We are prepared to ask the right questions.

2) Make an appointment with one of our designers. It is helpful to have our initial meeting at your home. As we perform a site analysis, we will discuss your ultimate vision for your backyard and how that vision can be perfected to fit the space. We will also discuss a number of items such as access, tree removal if necessary, drainage, elevations etc. If you wish to proceed, the information we gather will be used to create a concept that is truly unique to you and your home.

3) We will begin the process of developing a concept for your home. This can take a week to two weeks and upon completion, we will arrange a convenient time to review the design. Prepare to be impressed. A thorough understanding of how you wish to use the space will be reflected in a master plan for your backyard. Many times we are right on, but it is important to get your input and fine tune things to your liking. We are dedicated to getting it right and helping you to think through the details.

4) With your approval of the design, we move to the contract and permit process, which takes an average of two weeks. At this time we will prepare for construction by ordering equipment, specialty water features, and confirm your selections for your new pool.

5) Once the permit process is complete, Custom Pool Concepts will begin construction. All aspects of the pool construction are supervised by an experienced construction manager. Your designer is also involved in all aspects of your project including construction.

Four to five weeks to splash down! Start early and be ready for spring!
