Pool Info

Below is a step-by-step overview of our entire building process:

1. Prep and Excavation

Before any work on the pool design or installation happens, we need to have an initial consultation. We use this opportunity to understand our customers and fully explain our services. This will be followed up with a precise quote and further details if requested.

We are there for every complicated decision and make sure that things such as yard elevations, existing landscape, existing electrical and plumbing lines setbacks from your house, and any property and easement lines are all considered. Once the contract has been signed, terms agreed upon, deposit received and permits obtained, then construction of your new swimming pool can begin.  We are pleased to offer pool construction in Vancouver Island and all of the Sunshine Coast.

2. Steel Wall Assembly

Our swimming pool walls are composed of steel panels and braces that make up the framework of the pool. Assembly and inspections will be performed at this time. A light niche, stair opening, wall bracing, foundation pour for walls, plumbing, wall foaming, and height preparation will all be completed during this time.

3. Pool Backfill

All plumbing and piping along the swimming pool walls will be completed at this time. Also, all the space around the steel walls and bracing will be filled in with road grade fill and packed to the correct consistency.

4. Pool Deck Pour

During this step, the layout and form work begins on your swimming pool decking after initial electrical lines and piping have been laid. The time and cost of this installation depends on your choice of a concrete deck or a paving stone. Deck installations are different for each and our pool contractor will explain those during the installation processes. Also, it would be wise to consider at this point if any water or electrical lines will run under your pool deck into any planters or garage you may have.

5. Pool Liner Install

Next up, the Taylor Made Pool team ensures the vinyl membrane is installed properly. This liner acts as the container to hold your swimming pool water. We offer a wide range of patterns and styles to choose from. After installation, vacuums are temporarily inserted between the pool walls and the liner to remove all air - making the liner tight and crease and wrinkle-free.

6. Pool Plumbing and Electrical

Pump room plumbing and pool equipment installation is our last task. Once your pool deck has been poured and liner is installed, the filtration equipment will be installed by a plumber. Afterwards, the final wiring hook up is done by the electrician. If your house is under construction, it is efficient to have your electrician run conduit lines from where your swimming pool equipment will be, to your breaker panel in the house.

Also, have a line run from your equipment to a wall switch inside your home so you can control your pool light or set up a computer automation system. During this step, landscaping, and walkways plus exterior features (fencing, lighting, patio furnishings, etc.) will be completed to create your back yard oasis. For any inquiries, please contact us.
