What is a Swimming Pool Construction Consultant?
In general, you want to hire a Swimming Pool Construction Consultant in Los Angeles to help plan any swimming pool project. We strive to make sure the contractor you hire is someone whose experience, skills, and certifications are excellent. We make sure they’ve covered the necessary details to complete the project in a timely and economical manner.
Most often, Swimming Pool Construction Consultants are called upon to provide additional information, quality assurance, and expertise that is relevant to a particular pool project. They can also be consulted to provide a second opinion and double-check to make sure swimming pool plans are accurate and industry-compliant.
Reasons for Hiring a Swimming Pool Construction Consultant
When you’re planning to install a pool, many issues can arise. For one, installing a pool costs a lot of money, creates confusion in the backyard with dust and noise, and takes time. You’ll want to be wise in your purchase and get the most for your resources. Different pool settings — residential, commercial, valley, hillside, top of a building — all have different needs and requirements, and not every contractor knows them all.
Reasons for hiring a swimming pool construction consultant:
- Research contractor and their history
- Verify plans and the contract match
- Ensure contractor includes all the basics and calls out the extras ahead of time
- Verify progress of construction is to code and standard
- Looks out for both parties and provides solutions to problems should they arise
Our Consultation Process
When brought on as a Swimming Pool Construction Consultant, one of our pool professionals will meet with you at the site to get to know you and the details of the project.
We review construction documents, contracts, insurance, and licenses. We walk through the site for a comprehensive assessment of the construction project and compare any existing plans to ensure the details match the physical conditions of the yard. At key points during the construction, we can assess the progress and make any corrections in writing that can then go to the builder. We aren’t there to criticize, but rather to offer corrections that you may not know to bring up to the builder.
Throughout our work with you on your project, we will always be on time, thorough, and detailed. You can trust us to be honest in our analysis because we are not involved in the construction work itself, and we will always be transparent in the reasoning for our recommendations. Our goal is to ensure the contractor delivers what they promise and where both parties win in the process. Our purpose for consulting and inspecting pools is to raise the standard in the pool industry.
