Does your builder have a set of construction standards?

It is common to believe that as long as the pool is permitted and the completion is signed off, all pools are built the same. This could not be farther from the truth. There are fundamental design and engineering principles that each pool must have to stand the test of time and are not covered under local municipalities. Especially in the many varying conditions that exist in California soil. Ask to see your builders construction standards. More importantly, ask to see how those standards are adhered to. A good company will be able to tell you exactly what their standards are and how they follow them. It is important that you feel comfortable with their response because those standards are what will help to assure they wont cut corners. In addition, you should ask to go and see some of their work.
