Building a swimming pool requires careful effective planning. What will determine how effective your planning process is, will be your awarenes of important prebuild considerations. . These considerations are determined by your requirments and the suitabilty of the site in whilch development is to take place.

With over 30 years experience in swimming pool construction for domestic and commercial sectors, we have outlined below all factors that should be considered at this intial stage to ensure you acheive a successful swimming pool development.

		Access to site Consideration would have to made for accessing your garden with plant equipment and for the removal of soil.
		Ground conditions - Clay, chalk, high water table, etc What will you be excavating and how do you intend to dispose of this material? Is there a high water table? This is not a design issue as we have come up against many ground conditions. If detected at an early stage we will be able to advise you accordingly.
		Size/depth of the swimming pool How big do you want the pool and what style & depth do you require?
		Orientation of the swimming pool Where is the swimming pool to be placed in relation to any adjoining buildings, walls etc. Other factors include wind, shade and overall views of the swimming pool from the house and possibly your neighbours property, prevailing winds.
		Positioning of flow control, lights or steps/bays What extras do you want on the swimming pool and where will they be positioned?

These include air to water and ground source heat pumps, solar systems, gas or oil pool heaters and electric pool heaters for above ground installations. Please ask one of our consultants or engineers for advice. 0870 240 8360
		Environmental control within the swimming pool hall If the project is indoors, there will be a requirement for inclusion of a dehumidification system. This will control the water temperature and the environment in the swimming pool enclosure.
		Usage of the swimming pool Will the swimming pool be used for exercise, fun, hydrotherapy, public use, diving, etc?
