Our Swimming Pool Building Process

Here at Mission Pools, we ensure the pool building process revolves around you. We realize your dreams, meet your schedule, and exceed your expectations. Not to mention, sticking to your budget without cutting any corners.

This customer-centric ethos is only possible thanks to the outstanding talent of our team. This includes everyone from the experienced site supervisors to our on-site pool building construction specialists.

So, let’s take you through the construction process step-by-step so you can visualize how your pool build will unfold.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Construction Process

• Design and Permits: Every pool starts with a spark of inspiration. Our engineers will create and use tailor-made pool designs and drawings to guide the project. We’ll also begin preparing any permits or underground utilities work that is required.

• Working Drawings: Once everyone is enthusiastic about the design, we then create a scaled working drawing for our construction professionals to use. This will thoroughly outline dimensions, locations, layout, required equipment, and lighting.

• Layout and Excavation: This is where the magic starts to happen. Your pool area will be dug out using specialized industry equipment, and elevations will be established – get excited, because this is when you will start to see a physical imprint of your dream pool.

• Steel: Next, the steel structure will be erected which acts as a skeleton for the pool. These come with a lifetime structural warranty so you can be certain of their strength.

• Plumbing: It’s now the plumbing expert’s turn. It’s their task to ensure proper circulation, jet activity, pump efficiency, along with installation of key utilities equipment, including energy-efficient pumps, chlorination equipment, heaters, and much more.

• Equipment Placement: Every pool is unique, and so is the equipment that keeps it operational. It is this equipment that ensures the cleanliness and quality of your pool long into the future – every piece is installed to make it easy for you to use once we’ve left.

• Shotcrete: It’s at this point your pool will begin to take shape. Our specially designed concrete mix will be pumped in. Depending on the complexity of your project, this could take several days.

• Tile and Coping Installation: Decoration can now begin, transforming it from a hole in the ground to the luxury haven it is about to become. Tiles, grottos, waterfalls, decking, fire bowls, and any other personal touches will be lovingly adorned.

• Plaster and Filling: Any plasterwork will be smoothly and expertly applied to give the perfect finish. Once this is dry, your pool will be filled with water. At this point, we’ll start up your equipment to ensure it’s in top working order. We’ll go over the key things you’ll need to know to operate this equipment yourself, too, and you’ll have the chance to ask any questions – but our service department is always just a phone call away.

• Finished Project: Your pool is ready and waiting for you to enjoy. It’s this final stage that our team looks back on with pride – another job well done and another happy customer.
