Your Experience
We Make It Easy!
From your initial consultation, to design, construction, and
project management, Piscinas Lapitec is completely committed
to making your pool building experience an easy one. One of
the ways we do this is by assigning you a dedicated project
manager who is always available to answer your questions. Most pools
(just the pool) take between 4-6 weeks to build. The project
-pool,garden,special designs,paving, take between 2-3 month.
But you’ll receive a detailed
project schedule that will give you a better idea of how long your custom
pool should take to complete, and what you can expect throughout the
building process. We will always be there to make sure you
are informed and completely satisfied.
Here’s What You Can Expect
While every custom built pool is different, the design and building
process generally remains the same. Here’s what you can
expect after you contact Piscinas Lapitec.
1. Our expert designer/Chef-Builder
will visit you for a...... "pre-construction
meeting".
We’ll gather information about what you want to accomplish. What do you
want the space to look like? How will the pool be used? Then we’ll measure
the yard, consider the location for sunlight and usability, and make sure that
you understand all of the available options. In this initial consultation,
we listen carefully so that we can seamlessly incorporate your dreams and your
vision into an elegant and functional backyard oasis.
2. Within two weeks, your custom
design will be completed and ready for review.
Using blue prints and an advanced modeling design software, you’ll actually
be able to see what your new pool will look like in amazing detail. You’ll
also be able to discuss and decide on further options, details, and features.
3. Once you decide to move forward,
we can immediately begin to schedule the building phase of your
new pool.
As we help you through the permitting process, our Chef-builder
will schedule a “pre-construction meeting” with you
so that you know exactly what to expect over the next few months.
We can do this meeting in your house or wherever is most convenient
and comfortable for you.
4. We will begin to engineer
your custom pool with meticulous detail.
We will start by grading and excavating, or digging out the site.
We’ll
also perform any necessary demolition during this phase. After the site has
been excavated, we will start the brick work and reinforncing steels, or
rebar. Then all of the plumbing and electrical work will be completed
before the pool goes through an initial inspection.
5. Your pool will be build in
solid concrete-like known as concrete and steel work.
This usually takes between 5 and 10 work days to cure, or dry. After the concrete
has cured, we will start further up.
6. We will complete all of the
masonry work.
If you have chosen to include features like custom walls, rock features, waterfalls,
a bar-b-que or a fireplace, they will be built or installed during this phase
of construction.
7. The deck of your pool will
be installed.
It usually takes one week to prepare the deck and one or two weeks to install
the decking. Then your pool will go through another inspection. Any options
such as gates, fences, or alarms will also be installed here.
8. Finally, your pool will be
plastered.
This is one of the important phases of the pool construction. It will usually
only take one or two days to plaster your pool. After the plaster we start
with coping and pool tiles.
9. Fill your new pool with water!
When the building phase is complete, your pool will finally be ready to be
filled with water. Now it's time to call your friends and family so you can
have a pool party to celebrate!
