Before you ever embark upon a pool construction project, you need to prepare for building a pool by making sure you have all the bases covered before starting the project. This will help make sure that your pool installation goes off without a hitch and make for a more streamlined pool construction project overall.

Know The Rules Before You Start

Becoming familiar with your local zoning regulations before starting your pool construction project is always a good idea. Before meeting with a pool builder or even setting up a consultation, check to see if your property is in compliance with local zoning laws regarding the installation of a pool.

It’s also a smart idea to check with your HOA (if applicable) to see what their rules may be in regards to building a pool.
