The process starts with an On-site Client Meeting. One of our design partners works with you to establish an understanding of your needs, vision and budget before the pool building begins.


Next is the Design Process where they discuss your vision and conceptually bring it to life in a detailed plan. Our Designers are skilled at interpreting and capturing your vision into a 3D design plan.
Based on their vast experience, they can shed light on features and materials that will compliment your home to complete the pool building in a strategic manner.


After the design is solidified, the plan is then refined by our internal Design Team that prepares it for the pool building Construction Process. A Project Manager will be assigned to your project and be responsible for your project until completion. They will be your one point of contact for the duration of the project to answer any questions you might have from timing to design features. They will be there to support you every step of the project to provide clarity, trust and results.

Design items may include a dedicated fire pit seating area or a shade structure for backyard enjoyment in any weather. The resort is exclusively yours, and we are here to customize your property for ultimate enjoyment.

Cabana/Pool House
A pool house can have many functions with a covered seating area or even a custom structure with bathroom. You decide how it will be used and how much of a profile it should have. Will it store the pool equipment? Does it need a change room, a garden tool shed, an outdoor kitchen and bar, will it be utilized all four seasons?
