You take the lead.
We supply the team, the resources, and the guidance—so you can build the pool your family will always remember.
We Left the Big Pool Company Model—To Give Families a Better Way to Build
We used to be one of the big pool companies.
Big contracts. Big profits. Bigger markups.
Then we started asking questions.
Why were families paying us to manage subcontractors they could hire themselves?
Why does building a pool mean giving up control—and overpaying for it?
So we walked away.
And we built a better model—one that hands families the keys to build wholesale, lead the project, and reinvest the savings where it matters most.
Because to us, a pool isn’t just a luxury.
It’s a legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Getting started is easy.
1st Schedule a consultation with our team to determine if this is the best route for your project.
If partnering with us is the best option for you, then we start off by taking your dream pool vision and bringing it to life with 3D design.
Next we draft construction plans to be fully permit ready.
We also work with locally licensed engineers on your behalf to obtain engineering.
Then we equip you with all the resources you need for subcontractors, pulling permits, and purchasing any needed pool equipment.
Finally we walk you step by step through construction making sure you complete your project successfully.
How do we measure your yard?
It is best to utilize a site survey or plot map as these have the most accurate measurements, and are what the building department will check your plans against.
A plot map or site survey is almost always provided with the paperwork your received when purchasing your home. If you do not have it, you can source it through your developer or your building department.
In the event there is no site survey or plot map we use your address along with our GIS satellite software. Using our advanced GIS aerial imaging software we can get dimensions of your property that include elevation and topography.
In the rare event that your home is not available through our GIS software and you can NOT obtain a plot map - Then we will have you measure your own yard using our step by step measurement guide video and pdf.
How do I find and hire my subcontractors?
We give you a guidance on how to finding subcontractors in your local area. If you have any issue finding subs we will find them for you! - That is our Sub Finder Promise!
We have a large network of pool professionals and can generate a list of names and numbers for you to call.
We also review your bids to ensure that you're getting accurate pricing and quality craftsmanship from licensed subs.
How much will it cost me to build my own pool?
This will depend on your design and the cost of subs and materials in your local area.
After securing your design we can give you an estimated cost on your pool project. We can also design your project based on a preliminary budget.
In pool saturated areas like CA, AZ, TX, NV & FL we are seeing an average saving of $20k - $40k. Sometimes even more!
You can get a general idea by taking our Pool Cost Calculator by clicking here
How long does the process take?
Once permits are in hand you can build your pool in as quick as 6 weeks. You can also space out your build over a longer period of time and pay for it incrementally. No matter the length of time for you project we will be here for you from beginning to end.
Your design will take 5 business days to complete from the moment we receive your design form back.
Once the design is approved by you we prepare your construction plans send it straight to engineering. Planning & Engineering typically takes 15 days.
The permit process differs in length depending on where you live, please check with your local building department for permit wait times.
