Pool Planning & Construction

Guides for planning a new swimming pool — requirements, design briefs, structure and shell decisions, plumbing layout, equipment rooms and construction coordination.

Planning decisions made before excavation determine most of a pool project’s cost, buildability and long-term operating experience. These guides cover the pre-construction phase: defining requirements, coordinating drawings, sizing the equipment room and sequencing the build.

Once the brief is stable, move to equipment system overview and, if a cover is in scope, the automatic pool cover guide.
