Our inground pool construction methods involve the latest technology in pool construction, plumbing, safety covers, automation, filtration and accessories. 

Building High Quality Concrete Pools

The concrete (gunite) pool construction process is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial pools. The flexibility of gunite also allows for a wide range of custom designs and features, ensuring that each pool can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the owner.

The building phase of the pool starts only after you are fully satisfied with the pool design. POOLMAX experts will coordinate among all required professionals, and will make sure that all the permits and material orders needed to build your new pool are in place. Constructing a new pool is a substantial undertaking, and our professionals will keep you informed at all times before, during and after the project completion.

During pool construction, you can be sure that everyone working on your project adheres to high industry standards. All our personnel – from engineers to laborers – are known for their high quality work.

Applying the gunite

Gunite, a type of concrete that’s applied using a spray technique, is mixed and then sprayed onto the prepared surface. The gunite mixture typically includes cement, sand, and water. A high-pressure hose is used to apply the gunite in layers. The spray creates a dense, strong shell that conforms to the shape of the pool.
