Our Build Process

Every project, gunite or fiberglass, custom or renovation, runs through the same four phases, managed by one team. That is what "single-builder accountability" means: no handoffs between separate design, sales, and construction companies.

  1. 1

    Site & Consultation

    A walk of your property to evaluate soil, drainage, setbacks, and what you actually want to use the space for, before anything is designed.

  2. 2

    Design & Planning

    A plan built around your home, lot, and budget, not a catalog shape. This is also where financing options and a firm timeline get locked in.

  3. 3

    Construction

    Excavation, steel, gunite or shell-set, plumbing, and electrical, managed phase to phase by the same team that designed the project.

  4. 4

    Final Details

    Decking, plaster or finish, equipment start-up, water balance, and a walkthrough before your pool is ready to use.

How Long Each Phase Takes

Site & Consultation and Design & Planning together usually run a few weeks, since permitting, HOA/design-review submissions (where applicable), and the final design all have to be locked before construction starts. Construction itself is the longest phase for a gunite build, several months, sequenced through excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing/electrical, and decking before final plaster. Fiberglass construction is considerably shorter since the shell arrives pre-built. Final Details, equipment start-up, water balance, and a walkthrough, typically takes days, not weeks.

What Gets Decided During Design & Planning

This is the step where shape, depth, features (tanning ledge, raised spa, water feature), decking material, equipment selection, and financing are all finalized, before a shovel goes in the ground. It's also when permitting and any HOA or architectural-review submissions are prepared and filed.

What this means for Greater Houston homeowners

This site is built around the high end of what gunite construction allows: negative/infinity edges, swim-up bars, sun shelves, fire-and-water features, and full outdoor-living integration with decking, kitchens, and shade structures designed alongside the pool, not as an afterthought.

Financing

Financing is discussed during the Design & Planning step, through Foundation Finance or Lyon Financial. See Financing for details.
