When that happens, we contract the pool building portion of the project to a trusted specialist\u2014one that embraces our high standards. The choice of pool builder is important because daily communication and coordinated scheduling between pool builder and landscape designer is key to the success of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Our friend Alan Nobling at NVblu Pools, speaking from forty years of experience in the business, says the projects with lax project management are the ones that end up with problems. Expert project management is a critical component of any successful pool design and\u00a0construction\u00a0project because, no matter how well designed it is, a stressful construction process will leave you with a sour feeling afterward\u2014and we wouldn\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Project management is where all projects fall apart. Some companies do so much volume spread over a large geographic area that it is impossible to do competent project management. Surrounds has a project manager on site every day.

So a job could take seven weeks or it could take seven months depending on what they are building in the back yard. Alan Nobling<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Waiting for the county to review and approve our project plans can take six to eight weeks depending on the county. We spend that time finalizing construction documents and ordering materials. We are ready to go within ten days of the permit being approved.<\/p>\n<p>It generally takes about three weeks to construct the pool shell and install plumbing and electric. However, the total time required to bring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/swimming-pools-design-installation-mclean-va\/\">swimming pool design and installation<\/a> project to completion depends on the scope of the landscape design plan. That plan may call for retaining walls and patios on multiple elevations, an outdoor fireplace or a pool house as part of that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/landscape-design-swimming-pool-waterfalls-potomac-maryland\/\">back yard pool environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here again, project management is important because we can\u2019t begin our hardscaping work until the pool builders finish that first phase of pool construction. Our stone work produces a lot of dust, and the hardscaping process may involve moving truckloads of dirt around the yard. We schedule the interior finish and filling of the pool when all of that messy work is complete. The pool interior finishing process takes two days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3830 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/swimming-pool-design-in-potomac-maryland-what-you-need-to-know-e1482357891521.jpg\" width=\"749\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/swimming-pool-design-in-potomac-maryland-what-you-need-to-know-e1482357891521.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/swimming-pool-design-in-potomac-maryland-what-you-need-to-know-e1482357891521-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 749px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 749\/500;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What to Expect: The 8 Stages of Pool Building Process<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Stage 1 &#8211; Excavation<\/strong><br \/>\nWe mark out the shape of the pool on the site to ensure accurate dimensions and elevations.
