From Plan to Pool – The Neave Way
How will you use your dream pool? Do you entertain large groups, host the neighborhood children, or prefer a more serene environment where you can escape? Perhaps you want a pool that functions in all of those ways. The pool design process begins with a discussion about your goals and includes a site analysis so we can create a customized plan. We discuss pool shape and style, along with features like sun shades, beach entries, infinity pool edges, pool grottos, waterfalls and more. Then, our certified professionals produce a 3-D model so you can see your vision come to life.
Property Assessment
A thorough site analysis includes identifying property lines and taking note of grading, soil and neighboring structures so we can determine the best place for your custom pool or spa. Neave Pools handles all permitting and inspections.
Managing a Timeline
After a plan is approved, we set a pool project timeline so you know when to expect steps like grading, excavation, pouring the pool shell – every aspect from groundbreaking to completion. A dedicated project manager acts as a quarterback, keeping you up to date throughout the pool building process while coordinating with trades and updating the timeline as necessary. The timeframe for building a pool varies depending upon the size, shape, water features and overall complexity. But we set realistic expectations and are in constant communication with you so you know what activities will happen on your property each day.
Selecting Pool Materials
From pool tile to pool deck surfaces and more functional features like pool automation and lighting, we work with you to select the materials and extras that will deliver the experience you expect. That includes energy efficiency with pool pumps and heaters that lower your bills, and sophisticated pool lighting systems that are easy to control with an app and allow you to enjoy your luxury pool at any time of the day.
After a plan is in place, a timeline is set, and you select materials and features, it’s time to get started with pool construction.
Custom Luxury Pool Construction – A Seamless Process
There are many moving parts required to construct a long-lasting, stunning custom pool or spa. Professionals involved in your backyard oasis pool project will include laborers, engineers, designers, and specialists like masonry contractors, plumbers and electricians. Each trade’s expert has a critical role to play – and pool projects must be coordinated so steps are completed when necessary based on the scope of work. Some pool builders handle pieces and parts of the project. At Neave Pools, our full-service in-house swimming pool design, building and maintenance crews manage every aspect and you only have one contact, making your life simpler.
Modern Pool Building – What to Expect
You might be wondering what steps occur during the actual pool building process. We like to review this with you before breaking ground so you understand how the project will unfold. With timeline and necessary permits in place, the next steps include:
- Excavation and rough grading
