You and the designer 2012 SOUTHSIDE POOLS, LLC, OR YOUR DESIGNER, have created a place for your pool; now it is time for 2012 SOUTHSIDE POOLS, LLC crews to execute the project in your backyard. This outline details your new pool’s construction process and answers potential questions that might arise during the different phases. Please reference this outline as you move from phase to phase.

2012 SOUTHSIDE POOLS, LLC understands that building your dream pool will cause some disruption to your everyday routine. We will try our hardest to complete your pool quickly and with little disruption to your daily routine.

During construction, you will see excavation equipment driving across your property, digging a hole in your backyard, and creating lots of dust. The excavation site will appear disorganized and unsightly; this is part of the beautification process.  Let us assure you that we want to finish the job as soon as possible, and we will complete it per the contract unless unforeseen circumstances arise. We schedule our crews by the need for them on the next phase, not only for your project but all other jobs going on simultaneously. So, please feel reassured if you do not see our men for several days. Our Construction Manager should advise you if this happens.

Our Construction Manager will be stopping by regularly to check the project. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your designer at 409-392-9413 or 804-386-2261. Once again, all of us here at 2012 southside pools, LLC look forward to building your pool.

Once your pool site is prepared, the pool will be laid out using stakes, boards, and/or lines. You must be available at this phase for coordination between our sales and construction departments. Many details are discussed, which affect the entire job from this phase to completion, and which is required by 2012 southside pools, LLC to have this meeting.

During this stage, the earth is removed and hauled away or kept on site for later construction phases, depending on your contract. With ordinary soil and access conditions, excavation will finish within one to two working days. You must be available during this operation if an obstacle is unearthed. Our staff will consult with you, as this could result in an increased cost to you.

After excavating the pool, we will assemble the wall panels and stairs for installation. The panels will be secured together and placed on the shelf of the excavation. An anchoring A-frame will be installed at each panel joint, and each panel will be leveled. During this process, your pool stairs will be installed. Our crew will complete the pool wall erection and stair installation, and then a concrete collar will be poured around the entire base perimeter of the pool wall. The concrete collar will ensure that each panel is correctly set and secure so that it will not move during the subsequent construction phases. And you will be notified by a 2012 southside pools, LLC representative.

After excavating the pool, we will install the plumbing from your pool to the filter system. The central drain line(s), return line(s), and floor fittings are stubbed in, and the skimmers are secured. The installed plumbing will be tested to ensure no leaks. Should the pressure go down, we will check for damage to the plumbing line(s).

The electrician can begin work immediately after completing the pool and/or spa steel. Please have your electrician contact our Construction Coordinator upon applying for the electrical permit so we may coordinate our efforts.

All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall shall be equipped with a hard-wired or battery-powered alarm, which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm shall sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds immediately after the door is opened and be capable of being heard throughout the house during normal household activities. The alarm shall automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm system shall be equipped with a manual means, such as a touchpad or switch, to deactivate the alarm for a single opening temporarily. Such deactivation shall last for no more than 15 seconds. The deactivation switches shall be located at least 54 inches above the door’s threshold.

Once your pool water is balanced, your sales designer will schedule an appointment to meet with you. The sales designer will instruct you on the operation of your filtration system. You will also be given your warranty information on your pool equipment and a set of filter instructions to keep for your records.
