Behind the Build: The Journey of a Pool Construction Project

Building your dream pool is an exciting and detailed process that transforms your backyard into an oasis. At Cayman Pool Construction, we’re with you every step of the way, ensuring that every phase of the project meets our high standards of quality and customer satisfaction. Here’s the updated timeline, now including dedicated phases for pool deck finishing and screen cage installation.

Every pool begins with a vision. We collaborate with you to create a custom design and handle the permitting process, which often takes several weeks depending on local regulations.

Key Activities:

• Initial consultation to discuss your goals.
• Developing 3D renderings of your pool design.
• Submitting permits and preparing for construction.

Once permits are approved, construction begins with site preparation and excavation. This is the first visible step toward creating your pool.

Key Activities:

• Clearing and leveling the site.
• Marking the pool layout.
• Excavating the pool area and removing debris.

The pool’s shape and strength are established during this phase. A steel framework is constructed to support the pool’s structure.

Key Activities:

• Constructing a steel rebar framework to reinforce the pool.
• Inspecting the framework for safety and accuracy.

This phase involves applying gunite or shotcrete to form the pool shell. Afterward, the structure is allowed to cure for several days to ensure long-term durability.

Key Activities:

• Spraying gunite or shotcrete to create the pool shell.
• Curing the structure for maximum strength.
• Inspecting for quality assurance.

The aesthetic transformation begins here. Waterline tiles and coping are installed to enhance the pool’s appearance and functionality.

Key Activities:

• Installing decorative tiles along the waterline.
• Adding coping to create a seamless pool edge.

The plumbing and electrical systems are installed to ensure your pool is functional and safe.

Key Activities:

• Running plumbing lines for water circulation, drains, and returns.
• Installing electrical wiring for lighting, heating, and automation.
• Testing and inspecting systems to ensure proper functionality.

The pool deck is built to provide a functional and attractive space for relaxation and entertaining. Whether you choose concrete, pavers, or travertine, we ensure it’s done to perfection.

Key Activities:

• Preparing the foundation for the deck.
• Installing your chosen deck material (concrete, pavers, or travertine).
• Ensuring proper leveling and drainage.

This phase focuses on adding the final touches to the pool deck, such as sealing and finishing, to ensure durability and a polished look.

Key Activities:

• Sealing pavers or travertine to enhance longevity and appearance.
• Applying a decorative finish to concrete decks if applicable.
• Final inspection of the deck area.

The addition of a screen cage enhances your outdoor space by providing protection from insects and debris while maintaining an open-air feel. This phase is critical for homeowners seeking comfort and convenience.

Key Activities:

• Installing a panoramic screen cage or other enclosure styles.
• Ensuring the cage is securely anchored and aesthetically integrated.
• Inspecting for stability and proper fit.

During this phase, the essential equipment and features are installed, bringing your pool to life.

Key Activities:

• Setting up pumps, filters, and heaters.
• Installing water features such as bubblers, waterfalls, or spas.
• Testing all systems to ensure they work perfectly.

The final phase includes applying the interior finish, filling the pool with water, and balancing the chemistry. Once complete, your pool is ready for use.

Key Activities:

• Applying the pool’s interior finish (e.g., plaster, pebble, or quartz).
• Filling the pool and adjusting water chemistry.
• Conducting a final walkthrough and providing maintenance tips.

While building a pool is a multi-step process, each phase is essential to achieving a beautiful and functional result. The addition of deck finishing and screen cage installation ensures your backyard oasis is complete, comfortable, and ready for enjoyment.
