New Pool Construction process
When we build a new pool, we like to keep the whole process simple and easy to follow, so you always know what’s happening next. It starts with the design stage, where we take a good look at your space, chat about your ideas, and come up with a plan that suits your home and lifestyle. From there, we move into the hands-on work — excavation, steel, plumbing, and then either the concrete shell or a fibreglass installation, depending on the pool style you choose.
Once the structure is ready, we add the finishing touches that really make the pool feel complete, like mosaics, coping, and the final surface. Whether you’re after a classic gunite pool, a fibreglass option, or something completely custom, our goal is always to create a pool that lasts and feels right for your space. We also make sure every step is done properly, because good, reliable workmanship makes all the difference. Paying attention to the little details is important to us — it means your pool will not only look amazing but stay strong and enjoyable for years to come.

Things to consider when building a new pool
When choosing to build a pool in Cape Town, this comes with a few unique things to think about, and we make sure to keep all of them in mind from the very start. The city’s hot summers, windy conditions, winter rains, and coastal conditions can all affect which materials and finishes will stand the test of time. Every property is different too — from small urban gardens to sloped plots, windy spots, or older homes with tricky access. We pay attention to how your space behaves through the seasons, how much sun it gets, and how the pool will fit into your garden so that the final result feels right and works well in everyday life.
Water use is another big consideration here in the Western Cape, especially with restrictions sometimes coming into play. When we plan a pool, we think about things like efficient pumps and filtration, heat-retaining finishes, covers to reduce evaporation, and circulation setups that save water without compromising the pool experience. By taking the climate, the property, and water considerations into account from the start, we make sure every pool we build looks great, lasts a long time, and is practical to enjoy year after year.
