Our Pool Construction Process
From Concept to Completion with Dolphin Pools
Pool Building Process
At Dolphin Pools, we believe knowledge is essential when educating yourself about pool construction. That’s why we provide a step-by-step overview of each construction phase from the ground up. Please remember that every pool and spa project will vary, and the following information offers a brief synopsis of each stage during your spa or pool construction.
Design and Permitting
We begin with a detailed design consultation and site analysis to craft plans that match your vision and budget. Next, our experts secure all city permits, engineering approvals, and HOA clearances, ensuring your pool construction stays on schedule.
Excavation and Structural Shell
Using laser-guided machinery, we excavate precisely to your custom design’s dimensions. We then install reinforced steel, rebar, and plumbing forms to create a rock-solid structural shell, laying the essential foundation for durable, long-lasting pool construction.
Gunite Application and Finish
Our crew applies high-strength gunite to sculpt your pool shell, then hand-trowels premium finishes—plaster, pebble, or quartz—for a smooth, leak-resistant surface. This critical phase combines artistry and engineering, defining the quality of your pool construction.
Equipment Install & Start-Up
Building Your Dream Pool with Efficiency and Care
Meeting and exceeding your expectations is one of Dolphin’s most important tasks, and our primary goal is to build you the pool or spa of your dreams. We accomplish this by ensuring that each phase of your pool construction moves along smoothly through a process Dolphin has refined since 1984.
In addition, our Dolphin Pools Construction Department team coordinates and communicates the schedule of each phase of construction with our homeowners. Still, there is that occasion when construction moves along at such a pace that construction activity happens before that communication.
For that, we apologize in advance. We hope that you see this as a positive sign the construction of your pool or spa is moving along efficiently.

On that note, our family would like to extend a huge "Thank you!" To Jake Wozniak. His professionalism and courtesy were second to none. While Jake was not our direct field super, he was our point of contact when unexpected challenges arose. He was patient, and he made sure that our final product was beautiful and functional. We also want to give an extended shout out to Jonathan, the mason/artisan who crafted our massive retaining wall. He was always thinking ahead to what we would need after the project was finished. His insights and suggestions turned a necessary element into an aesthetically pleasing attraction. It is no surprise that Jake and Jonathan have a great working relationship.
Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank all of the wonderful office and construction staff who helped turn our vision into a reality. Joe, Trevor, Brenda, Gloria, Tania, Katie, Maria, Gina, and Jake: Thank you for all of your tireless efforts! This project was our unattainable dream, and you each played a part in bringing it to life. Your combined talents transformed our yard, and our lives, in less than six months time. Thank you! It was a pleasure working with each and every one of you.
