Swimming Pool Designer or Pool Contractor - Internationally Famous Aqua Designer

Which path should you take?  

• Hire a yellow pages swimming pool salesman to design and build your outdoor environment, swimming pool and watershape.

OR

• Hire aquatic consultants or a watershape consulting firm to work with you to develop a thoughtful, aesthetic and functional plan.

Ignorance is expensive....
 
Level Playing Field

Having a detailed plan and precise project specifications, allows the consumer to put the project out for bids if they so desire.

Instead of being influenced by their individual biases and personal desires at selling consumers high margin equipment and features, they must stick to the plans if they desire to be competitive.

The homeowner does not have to sit through sales pitches or promotional seminars.

Every bidder is bidding "apples to apples."

Which is better?

Remarkably, the net cost of either path a project takes, ends up about the same.  But the end result of one is vastly superior in quality and beauty.

Don't you desire an end project that is superior in it's aesthetic beauty, fit and finish, functionality and value?  One's whos reoccurring operating and maintenance expenses are held to a minimum, while maximizing the enjoyment and cherished family memories?

Developing a Team

There are many good contractors who know that they do not have a "design sense."  Those contractors know that teaming with a quality watershape designer can elevate their game. 

Quality is not expensive, it is priceless.

Cape Cod to Hamptons to Miami Beach - Flood Resistant Swimming Pool Structures

Aquatic consultant and watershape designer Paolo Benedetti discusses the importance of engineering flood resistant structures when building oceanfront swimming pools.

Pool or House ?

You have decided to place your swimming pool on the waterfront to take advantage of the gorgeous views.  Your house will look over the pool and onto the water beyond.  A house is the most expensive investment most people will ever make.

So, doesn't is make sense to design that swimming pool to protect your property from storm surges and tidal action?

For a relatively minor additional investment (compared to major storm damage), a swimming pool can be engineered to actually assist in buffering your property from tidal action.

Foundations

Waterfront swimming pools already require complex foundations of driven piles.  So why not spend a few thousand dollars more and design it so that is functions as your seawall as well?

The heavy equipment and personnel are going to be on your site anyway, so why not invest in a more substantial structure to protect your property?

If the pool sustains damage from a storm and saves your house, can you live without a pool while it undergoes repairs?  

But, can you live without a house?

Swimming Pool Designer & Expert Witness

There are two ways to do something... the cheap way and the right way.

Swimming Pool Design

A proper plan will eliminate a lot of remedial repairs and corrective actions, simply because things were done incorrectly or forgotten.

A detailed plan also ensures that the initial budgeting is accurate, as it lays out all of the elements of the project.

Incomplete plans cost more

Having incomplete plans will end up costing you more in the long for change orders and "add-ons."

Plan Inclusions

Accurate and complete plans should include:

Project layout (plan view)
Sectional views (cross sections)
Plumbing schematics
Low Voltage Electrical schematics
High Voltage Electrical Schematics
Equipment Specifications
Material selections
Scaled plan of equipment pad
Construction details
Installation and Construction specifications

Why not have detailed plans from the beginning and accurate construction budgets?
