POOL CONSTRUCTION PROCESS BY GOLDENSCAPE
From Conceptual Design to Backyard Paradise
The pool construction process can be daunting if you don't know what
to expect. At Goldenscape, our award-winning designers (partners)
Richard Martins and Mike Johnson and employee Mark Owino, will keep you
informed through every step while personally
ensuring that each phase is completed to the high standards you deserve.
1. POOL DESIGN
Your individual needs and desires are discussed with one of our
Goldenscape Pools design specialists in order to achieve the desired
form
and function of each pool. Once the design has been finalized, the
construction process begins.
2. CONSTRUCTION START-UP
All required permits and approvals from Home Owner Associations are
handled in this phase. The layout of the pool is marked on the ground
in preparation for excavation.
3. EXCAVATION
The excavation crew will remove the earth from the location of the
future pool. Depending on the design and condition of the site, the
removed earth will either be removed from the site or reused as
backfill in raised areas.
4. FOAM BOARDS & STEEL RE-ENFORCING
The structure of the pool begins to take shape as the wood forms and
steel rebar are positioned. The forms will provide the shape of the
walls while the steel rebar provides additional strength and durability.
5. ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING
It is at this stage of the construction process that the electrical
components, pool equipment, and plumbing fixtures are put into place.
The entire system is pressure tested to ensure proper functioning of
the system and all components.
6. GUNITE
A high-pressure mix of concrete is "shot" into place, hardening to
form the shell of the pool. Steps and benches are in place and at this
stage the pool starts to take shape.
7. DECKING & OTHER FEATURES
The deck areas surrounding your pool that are used for walking and
seating are installed. Decking materials include concrete, flagstone,
or tile. Features such as arbors and outdoor kitchens are also
constructed during this phase.
8.TILE & COPING
The chosen tile and coping selections are installed. Tile is
available in a number of styles, sizes, color, and patterns. The coping
will have been chosen from a number of styles including concrete,
brick, or natural stone.
9. STONE & MASONRY
Skilled craftsmen install the masonry and stone features for
waterfalls, counters, and accent features. The choices of rock color
and texture are numerous and are selected by the owner to create their
own unique look.
10. PLASTER
The interior of the pool is finished with a white or colored plaster
or PebbleTec finish. The pool is immediately filled with water once
plastering is complete.
11.PROJECT COMPLETION & POOL SCHOOL
The Goldenscape customer service representative will guide each
owner through the initial start-up and maintenance of the pool and the
equipment system. Then it is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your
new swimming pool!
