- Building a Pool
- Dig the hole big enough, don' t dig it to large.
- Carefully measure the depth of the pool and make sure the bottom is flat.
- Find someone who needs earth and will come and take it away for free.
- Don' t take it all away - you're bound to need some of it back later.
- Make sure you get the list of parts and you know what's what before you start.
- Take some polystyrene blocks, lay them out in the shape of you pool.
- Stand the concrete panels in the blocks and fix them together with metal braces.
- Cut the panels for the skimmer and for the various openings such as the water jets.
- Put a row of polystyrene blocks on the top of the concrete panels.
- Wrap lengths of iron rod around the base of the concrete columns and around the tops of them.
- Lay the iron meshing on the bottom of the pool.
- Concrete around the bottom of thee panels, then concrete the floor.
- Put plastic panels in grooves on the back of the concrete panels, to create perpendicular pockets behind the place where the panels met.
- Once the concrete is dry you can cut out and install the skimmers.
- Attach all the pipes.
- Fill up the cracks between the concrete panels with filler.
- Make sure that the whole pool (walls and floor) are clean and smooth before applying the revetement.
- Apply one coat of revetement, then cover it with something that looks like fabric, then repaint over the top of this.
- Allow a week for it to dry before filling up the pool.
- Set up the pump, the filter and figure out which pipe goes where.
- Set up the electricity box and get an electrician to do the necessary wiring.
- Landscaping a Pool
- Decide what you're going to put around the pool.
- Avoid using the ugly concrete slabs; Use concrete slabs which resemble real stone instead.

Who it's for
This Building Pool Checklist is for teams that want consistent execution, less rework, and clear ownership.
- Standardize quality - run the same Building Pool steps every time, regardless of who executes
- Save time - reuse a proven Building Pool workflow instead of rebuilding processes from scratch
- Improve accountability - assign owners and see what's done vs. what's pending
- Onboard faster - use the Building Pool checklist as the SOP and training guide
- Coordinate across roles - handoffs are clear and everyone works from the same source of truth
How to use it
How to use this Building Pool Checklist:
- Start by saving it - save as a Template if you'll reuse it, or as a Checklist if it's a one-off project.
- Customize it once for your workflow - remove what doesn't apply and add your team-specific steps.
- Assign ownership and execute - set owners/due dates where needed and track completion as work happens.
- Reuse without rebuilding - when Building Pool comes up again, start from your saved version and run it with clear ownership.
