When you have decided that you are ready to add a custom pool to your property, you may be wondering what the design process looks like. Some companies will hand you a packet of pre-designed pools that you can choose from. However, to get a truly custom pool in your backyard, you need a company that will let you be involved in the design every step of the way. Terrascapes is here to talk about what the custom pool design process looks like step by step.
The Design Process for a Custom Pool
We would like to walk through the custom pool design process with you so that you can better understand what the process looks like.
– Site Visit / Consultation: The company that you’re working with will want to see your property and evaluate the pool site. This is when the consultation will take place. You will talk through your vision for the space, and the company will help you understand whether or not it is feasible.
– 3D Design Proposal: Once the plans have been discussed and planned, they will be put into a 3D design and presented to the homeowners. At this time, they will be able to make any adjustments and changes to the rendering before construction begins. The homeowner will be able to see the pool from many different angles so that they have a good understanding of what the pool will look like once constructed. The proposal will also be presented to the homeowner. It will be itemized so that they understand exactly what they will be paying for.
– Revisions: Usually, homeowners will go through three different revisions before the design is concrete and ready for construction. There might be resizing that takes place, changing materials, adding or removing water features, and adjusting the pool deck and living space. This is a permanent fixture on the property and revisions aren’t rushed and are taken seriously.
– Material Selection: Once the revisions are complete and the design is set in stone, the homeowner will then choose materials for the pool. This can include tile, pebbles, quartz, plaster and so on. There will be physical samples for the homeowners to touch and choose from. The pool company will be explaining the longevity and durability of each of the material options so that homeowners can make an informed decision.
– Permitting: Finally, we get to permitting. There are usually city or county permit applications to submit. The final design and renderings of the pool is included in that. There also may be some coordination with HOAs as well.
