Step-by-Step Pool Construction Process in Florida: What to Expect

Building a pool is exciting but understanding the process helps eliminate stress. At Atlantic Pools of Florida, Inc., we believe informed homeowners make the best decisions.

Step 1: Design & Consultation

We start with a site visit to evaluate your property, discuss design ideas, and ensure compliance with local Florida codes.

Step 2: Engineering & Permits

Permits are submitted to local municipalities in Northeast Florida, including building, plumbing, and electrical approvals. Neighborhood HOA and/or ARB approvals are submitted at the same time.

Step 3: Excavation

Once permits are approved, excavation begins based on the engineered design.

Step 4: Steel, Plumbing & Electrical

The structural framework and underground systems are installed this stage is critical for durability and performance.

Step 5: Concrete Shell

The pool shell is formed using shotcrete, creating the structure that defines the pool’s strength.

Step 6: Tile, Coping & Decking

This is where design comes to life. Tile selections, coping, and decking are installed.

Step 7: Equipment & Interior Finish

Pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems are installed, followed by the interior pool finish.

Step 8: Final Inspections & Startup

Local inspections are completed, and the pool is started up and balanced.
