Swimming pool fun facts

Tipton Pools, serving Knoxville, TN explain how pools are build

How is a swimming pool built? It’s a question that the swimming pool contractors from Tipton Pools field on a regular basis. Many of them know it’s an involved process, but they may not consider how it might disrupt the backyard or even the family lifestyle for a while during the project.

The pool builders from Tipton want potential customers to understand, “it will take X amount of weeks,” so you won’t be surprised and left wondering why it’s taking “so long” when in fact the project could be right on track.swimming pool construction

Here are the three major components in the pool construction process once you’ve decided on a contractor and a pool design. Before he starts any work or surveying you will have determined the pool budget:

  1. A pool contractor comes out and surveys the yard for your project.
  2. Your builders will work with you to bring the pool to life in full 2-D color.  You will see the pool as it will look when completed.
  3. You will determine any options or accessories for the project.

The actual construction

  1. Once the plans are approved and reviewed, pricing will be finalized and the contract written.
  2. A site survey will be completed complete with the design and options that have been agreed upon.
  3. A detailed working document for construction will be provided to you.
  4. The contractors from Tipton will secure building permits and site plan approvals.
  5. Securing permits and code inspections assures that all of the electrical codes are met.

Quality control during the project 

  1. Your project will be staffed by a professional building crew with a directive to complete the project on time.
  2. While contractors have no control over weather they do everything in their power to keep the project moving along.
  3. After the project is complete your builder will walk you through understanding what the pool parts are and how they work.

Ask your pool builder whether he offers pool service to help care for the pool once the construction is complete. If not, ask if he has any referrals that you can interview so that you can choose a pool service contractor.
