The construction of a concrete inground pool typically spans approximately 12 weeks. However, this timeline may fluctuate based on factors such as weather conditions, the intricacy of the design, and the permitting process.

The required permits generally include local building permits, zoning approvals, and electrical/plumbing permits. Our team manages the entire permitting process from beginning to end, ensuring full compliance with all local regulations.

Gunite and shotcrete are both concrete application methods using high-pressure hoses. The main difference is that gunite is mixed dry on-site, while shotcrete is pre-mixed with water. We select the most appropriate method based on each project's specific requirements, as both provide excellent strength and durability.

We employ a sturdy steel rebar framework within the concrete to prevent cracking. This reinforcement ensures the pool structure can withstand ground movement and other environmental factors over time. Additionally, we apply a waterproof bond coating membrane to the pool shell to enhance long-term durability.

Gunite and shotcrete typically require a curing period of 10 to 14 days. Once this curing process is complete, we can proceed with subsequent phases such as tiling, coping, and additional installations without compromising the structural integrity of the pool.
