The design is done so the working drawings and engineering are underway. An application for a permit is being readied and we have called for Dig Alert to layout any underground utilities around the construction site. One of the greatest assets of Mission Pools is the quality of site supervisors employed by the company. These men are professional builders with years of experience in the construction of swimming pools of all types. Your project supervisor will meet with you on site prior to any work being done to discuss the process and answer any questions you may have.

And then it is the big day…the layout and excavation of the pool. Forms will be installed to the shape of the pool and elevations will be established. Your pool will be dug using special equipment based on that access into the back yard. Your children may not want to go to school because of the excitement but just let them know that we will still be working when they get home in the afternoon.

Once the excavation is completed our steel crews will be ready to start. The steel is the skeleton for the pool and is engineered with our lifetime structural warranty in mind. You will be fascinated at how the men can bend and form the steel to produce walls, your spa, benches and ledges. Upon completion of the steel, our plumbing experts begin. The plumbing in a Mission Pools project is oversized to insure proper circulation, therapy jet activity and pump efficiency. In our pools there is no, “good, better, or best”…there is only best. As the plumbing continues you will see the installation of utilities and the setting of the equipment. Energy efficient pumps, large filters, chlorination equipment, and heaters make up the equipment set. You will see the plumbing, valves and fittings all are installed for easy maintenance for the equipment.

But nothing beats the “Big Day” when the shotcrete is installed in your pool. Trucks filled with men converge on your pool this day. The installation is our own special design mix from a local concrete plant that is brought to the site and poured into our pump. The pump then forces the concrete through a large hose until it reaches the nozzleman. At that point our compressor adds air and blows the mix into the pool where it is hand troweled into the proper shape. By the end of the day your pool has appeared.

With as much fun as the structural construction is there is nothing like the beginning of the beautiful parts of the pool. Your structure will now begin to look like a finished product as your tile choice, coping material and decking are installed by our craftsmen. Once all this is completed it is time for the final phase…the plaster installation. Your plaster choice will be applied and expertly troweled to give a smooth and beautiful finish. Once the plaster is completed it is time to fill and startup the equipment. At this stage we will make an appointment with you to go over the operation of your new pool. Remember, just because the pool construction is done does not mean we are gone. To the contrary, our service department is as close as the phone.

There you have it…six to eight weeks of the swimming pool construction process. We think you will enjoy the fact that from the people scheduling your project to the superintendent responsible for the final product, all have pride in the fact that they built your Mission Pool. Their job is to communicate with you throughout the process and get answers to all of your questions. Communication is a big part of our business plan and makes for happy clients.
