The timeline for pool construction varies depending on the complexity of the design, permitting process, and weather conditions. On average, a standard pool takes 6 to 12 weeks from start to finish. The process includes excavation, plumbing, electrical work, shotcrete or gunite application, tiling, coping, and decking. While unexpected delays can occur due to city inspections or material availability, FM Pool Construction, Inc. works diligently to keep projects on schedule. Our team ensures transparency by providing updates throughout the process, helping homeowners prepare for their new pool with minimal disruption.
