Pool Professional Consulting
Pool Professional Consulting®
a one-of-a-kind consultancy!
The Pool Professional Consulting® is a unique and complete consultancy for high-end swimming pools that follows a precise and certified method, composed of different phases thanks to which it will be possible to carry out a detailed analysis of every single aspect that will influence the choice and the final result of the pool, avoiding future mistakes, remorse or regrets.
After all, what does a customer who wants a pool that isn't "the usual pool" really want? He wants the dream! That is, he wants a swimming pool that is not only functional and technically efficient (that's the minimum) but he also and mainly wants something that is original, extraordinarily beautiful and speaks of himself, his tastes and his way of being.
This is why our consultancy is a creative process that the customer goes through, starting to "build" his swimming pool from the first meeting.
Our Pool Professional Consulting® does not include any architectural design and does not want to replace the role of the architect or landscape designer, vital ingredients for the spectacular success of the swimming pool. It should be understood as a support and guidance tool to complement the general idea developed by the architect himself.
Purpose of the Consulting
The purpose of our consultancy is to assist you in choosing the swimming pool that best represents you, which is extremely important as the swimming pool must speak about you, who you are and what you love.
How do we do it? By offering you expert and impartial guidance, suggesting the right features to take into consideration, the right accessories, the right documentation and providing you with the necessary guarantees.
All so that you can have the CONFIDENCE of making your choices correctly, without errors or omissions that you might later regret.
What this Consulting will give you
A 'wow effect' swimming pool is not obtained by chance or by divine grace but thanks to a method and a protocol that take all the details into consideration. For this reason the consultancy must be itself of a high level, a consultancy with a capital "C".
So here's what you can expect from our consultancy:
- A specialized in-depth analysis of the swimming pool you are going to build, taking into consideration the needs of each member of the family, both from an aesthetic and practical point of view;
- Clarification of all your doubts and the questions you want to ask, reviewing the pros and cons of each option, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises at the end;
- New ideas for the general project, enriching where possible the initial idea that the architect developed;
- Indications and suggestions relating to innovative or particularly original solutions that will make the swimming pool unique;
- 'Live' viewing (showroom and/or customer visit) of the various technical and aesthetic solutions so that you can see first-hand what is proposed to you;
- A personalized estimate of annual consumption for your pool;
- A detailed analysis of the options available for heating pool water with the related energy costs.
How it takes place
As already mentioned, the consultancy takes place in distinct phases, following a precise sequence of actions that will serve to educate the customer and facilitate the final choice.
PRELIMINARY PHASE: THE INFORMATION MATERIAL
Before the appointment with the Consultant you will be given an information package which will allow you to have a basic preparation on the fundamental aspects concerning the construction of a swimming pool.
Once you have studied the materials in question, you can make an appointment with our Consultant
1. INTERVIEW AND CONSULTING
It can be said that this is the most important phase of the entire process since it is here that all the specific information is collected which will then flow into the final choice of your swimming pool.
Through our certified method Pool Professional Consulting®, the Consultant will ask you 45 questions relating to the technical aspects, aesthetics, your particular needs, the available budget, etc. This step will last approximately 3 hours and the various explanations will be accompanied by the vision of the various elements of the swimming pool which you can touch first-hand in our showroom.
2. INSPECTION AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Only at this point will our Consultant, supported by our Technical Director, carry out the inspection, using our exclusive "Technical Analysis" module developed based on a series of over 500 swimming pools built.
This is a prepared checklist, which takes into account every possible aspect of the terrain, winds, position in relation to the sun, the positioning of the technical room and pipes, building works, the possible preparation of the heat pump and much more. In this way you can be sure that every technical aspect connected to the construction of your swimming pool will be taken into consideration.
3. IN-DEPTH MEETING ON THE DESIGN OF THE POOL AND THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE
We now get to the most interesting and creative phase of the project.
In order to get a wow effect, your swimming pool cannot simply be a "beautiful anonymous swimming pool in the middle of a green lawn". Designing a swimming pool also means dealing with the choice of the solarium, the flooring, the surrounding greenery, the garden and the poolside furnishings.
In this sense, thanks to over thirty years of experience behind us, you will find in us a prepared and competent interlocutor also from an aesthetic and landscape point of view, ready to collaborate and interact with architects, landscape designers and other professionals in the sector.
Even if you are relying on your architect or landscape designer, it is strongly recommended that you are also present in this phase of the consultancy, since the various aesthetic and technical options of the project will be taken into consideration.
4. DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT DRAFT, TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION AND ECONOMIC PROPOSAL
At this point we will be able to deliver you the final documentation consisting of:
- The technical drawing/project draft of the swimming pool with all the indications of the arrangement of the accessories, entrance, measurements, etc.;
- the forecast budget of consumption and maintenance costs;
- The heat balance for the possible hypothesis of heating the water;
- A lighting simulation of the inside of the tank;
- A final report with a summary of the solution we proposed, its accessories and final suggestions.
In addition to the above documentation, the Consultant will draw up the economic proposal which will be extremely accurate. Every item, every detail, every type of product will be clearly displayed in the file that we will deliver to you and will be examined together with you during a further meeting in our showroom.
5. SIGNATURE OF THE CONTRACT
Once the estimate has been examined and the necessary final assessments have been made, the contract will be signed, after which works can finally begin to create the swimming pool of your dreams.
6. GENERAL COORDINATION MEETING
This is a very important preparatory meeting that will take place in our showroom together with the construction company, the Works Manager, our Engineer and the Consultant. On this occasion, the technical file developed by us will be delivered with all the drawings, technical data sheets and related explanations and indications for correct execution of the works.
The choice to hold this meeting on site allows us to have a high concentration on what is said and not to do anything botched as could happen by giving various explanations on site for example. Everything must be clear and well understood by the various construction site stakeholders.
The customer is not required to preside at this meeting but we recommend his presence for greater control over what must be carried out during the works.
7. SURVEY AND QUALITY VERIFICATION
Our consultancy will not be limited to the initial phase of the project and pre-construction meetings. It is our concern to ensure that everything proceeds regularly and in the best possible way and that in the end the customer is truly satisfied with the final result and the service received.
For this reason, at the end of the work there will be a new meeting with the Consultant who, through a final survey, will make sure that the work has been done correctly and that you are truly enthusiastic about your pool and our company. Any oversights or errors that may emerge from this quality check will be noted and fixed to your complete satisfaction.
Our Consultant
The consultancy is delivered by our expert specialist Pierfrancesco Fagiani, renowned for his vast experience in the sector and for the continuous refresher courses that he attends annually in order to always be at the forefront with the latest technological and market innovations.
He's so good that everyone now calls him SuperPier!
Pierfrancesco has followed hundreds of customers who are literally enthusiastic about his guiding and advising.
His renowned professional expertise has allowed him to write and publish two books relating to the swimming pool sector: "I Deserve a Wow-Effect Swimming Pool!" and “The Swimming pool Bible”, the latter in collaboration with Massimo Girotti.
Here’s what they say about him
Sandra Galoni
"Preparation and professionalism, this is what we saw in Pierfrancesco and in the company. We wanted someone who would follow us and be able to advise us. And he did it perfectly. Even the advice on the magnesium swimming pool for our son's allergy was a suggestion that allowed him to finally be able to swim in the pool without consequences and we are therefore really satisfied with the advice received."
Pacifico Berrè
"Excellent professional, competent, he immediately understood the client's needs. This was the thing that struck me. He advised me well, I can't take notes (this violin will cost you a dinner! I'm joking, it's the truth). Yes, he was a feeling was immediately created, the understanding was excellent on various aspects."
Paola Petroselli
"We found a lot of availability and received excellent advice, precise and accurate. However, the competence is the thing that struck us the most. Adequate and complete answers to every type of question and this ultimately led us to choose you without hesitation."
Massimiliano Balducci
"I was accompanied throughout the choice process and I really felt at home, truly 'pampered'. The first thing that struck us was the attention to detail and the correctness in making the customer choose the most suitable swimming pool. Thanks to Pierfrancesco's professionalism we chose the best pool for us. I am very satisfied with the choice we made by following his advice."
Carla Cortorillo
"We were struck by the completeness and clarity of all the information we were given, accompanied by a catalog of wonderful swimming pools you created. The indications and advice were very useful and very clear, also to guide our choices according to our needs. The utmost professionalism and competence shone through in all the meetings we had and this made us feel reassured. For example, we would never have taken into consideration the choice of cloth that the Consultant initially suggested to us. Instead, we then we are convinced thanks to the photos he showed us and his advice, and I must say that the color is really beautiful and original and we are completely satisfied."
Maria Assunta Evangelista
"Thanks to this type of consultancy we realized that there were many more guarantees, that the advice was better, that we were able to better understand what we were going to do. The explanations and clarifications were very clear. We were able to ask every question we we had in mind and precise and exhaustive answers arrived promptly. We had some ideas on how to do it which we changed 'in progress' because the advice we were given then seemed better. In short, we got on really well and in the end we we trusted them precisely because of the sense of reliability we had."
FAQs
- Why isn't the inspection done before the meeting at the showroom?
After three decades of experience we have found that the best way to proceed is to carry out the inspection after phase two of the consultancy, as in this way the Consultant has been able to collect all the fundamental information necessary to understand the type of swimming pool you want and the type of technical work to be carried out. Doing an inspection before having all this information would make the inspection partial and incomplete, and errors in evaluation can occur, which would lead to complications during the carrying out of the work.
- Is there a fee for the consulting?
There is no charge for the preliminary phase and steps 1 and 2 of the consultancy. It must be considered that the meeting at our showroom alone takes three hours. Once the first two steps have been taken, the customer has everything he needs for an evaluation of our company and how we work: he has received the materials for a complete education on the fundamentals of the swimming pool world, he has seen first-hand the various elements and accessories at our showroom, received in-depth information from the Consultant who answered any questions. From here on, for any further information, meeting or opinion, the consultancy costs 150 euros per hour. In the event that the customer subsequently proceeds with the actual construction of the swimming pool, this amount will be completely deducted from the total cost of the swimming pool.
- Does the consulting also include architectural/landscape design?
Our consultancy is combined with that one of architects and landscape designers, figures that we consider essential for the success of the project. There is therefore no plan on our part in this sense. However, if the customer does not have a professional to rely on and would like a recommendation from us, we can certainly suggest figures of excellence with whom we have collaborated for years in the field of outdoor and landscape design.
- What can I do if I DO NOT live in Marche, Umbria or Abruzzo?
In this case you can make use of our Online Pool Consulting®: the first online consultancy for swimming pools!
The reason why we developed this consultancy is precisely to give the possibility to those who live outside the Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo regions, or to those who cannot visit us on an immediate basis, to have all our experience and our know-how in the sector. Since we are talking about an asset that costs tens of thousands of euros, it is wise to make this choice wisely and carefully, avoiding any possible mistakes or future regrets.
