Here’s a look at the key stages of inground pool construction.

Design Consultation and Planning

Inground Pool Builders in Naples, FLThe first step in inground pool construction is the design consultation and planning phase. You’ll work closely with a professional pool designer during this stage to conceptualize your dream pool. You’ll discuss factors such as pool size, shape, depth, materials, and additional features. 

Permitting and Approval

Once the pool design is finalized, the next step is obtaining the necessary permits and approvals. Suncoast Pools will handle this process, ensuring compliance with local regulations and building codes. Depending on your location, this stage may involve submitting plans to the local municipality, paying permit fees, and undergoing inspections. Securing the required approvals is essential before moving forward with the construction process.

Excavation and Site Preparation

Our construction team will then start the excavation process. This involves marking the pool’s outline on the ground and using heavy equipment to dig the pool’s shape and depth. The excavated soil is typically hauled away, creating space for the pool shell. During this phase, we also consider any necessary safety measures and protection of surrounding structures and landscaping.

Pool Shell Installation

The pool shell is the structural foundation of the inground pool and comes in various materials such as fiberglass, vinyl, or concrete. The choice of the pool shell material is often determined during the planning stage. Fiberglass shells are pre-formed and delivered to the site, while concrete and vinyl require on-site construction. The installation involves carefully placing and securing the shell, ensuring proper alignment and structural integrity.

Plumbing and Electrical Work

The plumbing and electrical systems are installed once the pool shell is in place. This includes the installation of pipes, skimmers, drains, and other components necessary for proper water circulation and filtration. Electrical work involves wiring for pool lights, pumps, and other features such as waterfalls or spa jets. These systems are crucial for the functionality and efficiency of the inground pool.

Backfilling and Grading

After the plumbing and electrical work is complete, the space around the pool is backfilled with soil to secure the pool shell and create a stable foundation. The construction team will carefully grade the area to ensure proper drainage and prevent water runoff issues. This stage is essential for the overall stability and aesthetics of the pool area.

Decking and Surrounding Features

Once the pool structure is in place, attention turns to the decking and surrounding features. The type of decking material, whether it’s concrete, pavers, or natural stone, is chosen based on your preferences and budget. Landscaping features, pathways, and additional elements like seating areas or outdoor kitchens are incorporated to enhance the overall ambiance of the pool area.

Filling and Testing

With the pool construction complete, the next step is filling the pool with water. During this stage, the pool’s water level is carefully monitored to ensure it reaches the desired depth. Simultaneously, the pool’s systems, including pumps, filters, and any automation features, are tested. This thorough testing ensures that all components function correctly, and adjustments or fine-tuning can be made as needed.

Final Inspections 

Final inspections are conducted before officially handing over the pool to the homeowner. Local authorities or building inspectors may visit the site to ensure the pool construction meets regulations and safety standards.
