Our Build Process

Every project, gunite or fiberglass, custom or renovation, runs through the same four phases, managed by one team. That is what "single-builder accountability" means: no handoffs between separate design, sales, and construction companies.

How Long Each Phase Takes

Site & Consultation and Design & Planning together usually run a few weeks, since permitting, HOA/design-review submissions (where applicable), and the final design all have to be locked before construction starts. Construction itself is the longest phase for a gunite build, several months, sequenced through excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing/electrical, and decking before final plaster. Fiberglass construction is considerably shorter since the shell arrives pre-built. Final Details, equipment start-up, water balance, and a walkthrough, typically takes days, not weeks.

What Gets Decided During Design & Planning

This is the step where shape, depth, features (tanning ledge, raised spa, water feature), decking material, equipment selection, and financing are all finalized, before a shovel goes in the ground. It's also when permitting and any HOA or architectural-review submissions are prepared and filed.

What this means for Kingwood homeowners

Kingwood Service Association deed restrictions include tree-preservation requirements that are reviewed before a pool footprint is set, on top of standard village-level approvals. For villages near the San Jacinto River, drainage and grading are evaluated carefully so the pool and surrounding yard direct water away from the home, not just off the pool deck.

Financing

Financing is discussed during the Design & Planning step, through Foundation Finance or Lyon Financial. See Financing for details.
