In Phoenix, where the summer heat is intense, having a swimming pool is essential. The total time to build a pool varies but generally takes three to four months from design to completion. The process includes: Design Phase (2–4 weeks): Planning the size, shape, features, and materials of the pool. Permitting (up to 6+ weeks): Getting approvals from the city, county, and HOA. Excavation (a few days): Digging the site, which can be delayed by hard soil or utilities. Installation (4–8 weeks): Includes plumbing, steelwork, electrical, gunite/shotcrete, and tiling. Finishing Touches (1–2 weeks): Adding interior finishes, decking, lighting, water, and landscaping. Delays can occur due to weather, supply issues, or equipment problems. Fiberglass pools may be quicker than concrete ones. Bottom line: Expect the pool construction process to take several months, especially for custom designs. Working with an experienced company like Citiscapes, LLC can help ensure a smoother, more efficient build.
