The testimony of two technicians

The swimming pool project is a project that involves many factors: from the choice of the best place, to the evaluation of the land to the technical room, from the water pipes to the electrical system, from the control units to the covering, the accessories and much more.

In fact, the construction of a swimming pool follows very precise steps that require time to be done well. So it is a plan that must be made in time, starting at least a year before you want the pool to be ready.

The first step is to determine the exact place where it will be built and understand if it is suitable in terms of sun exposure, surrounding plants, winds, pipes, etc.

The second step is that of the municipal permits necessary to proceed. Some municipalities complete the procedures quickly, while others make you wait longer and may require special specifications.

Then an inspection is carried out (often more than one), to determine that the land is suitable for construction. This step also requires the intervention of a geologist for an accurate evaluation of the soil, without incurring errors.

In many cases there is also the fact that whoever decides to build the swimming pool also arranges the space around the house so there are simultaneously the works on the irrigation system, the planting of flowers and plants, the design of the space as a whole . This must be taken into consideration before starting work to understand what is the best sequence to follow.

Naturally then there is the choice of everything that concerns the actual swimming pool: the shape, the entrance, the type of covering, the colour, the accessories, the type of control unit, the home automation... all things that require time and reflection.

Finally, of course, we have the construction works: the excavations, the consolidation works, the construction of the solarium area and the systems, the technical room...

Furthermore, it is necessary to examine all the possible construction alternatives that could be useful to the customer and all the possibilities of preparing the swimming pool with options that could be important for the family in the future: for example the preparation for the heating system or for a automated coverage, etc.

WHAT THE TECHNICIANS SAY

geometra bettucci micheleRegarding the complexity and various aspects concerning the swimming pool project, let's hear what the Geometra Michele Bettucci has to say about it:

“Building a swimming pool involves many aspects, starting from the excavations, from the structural part to the plant engineering part. It involves more workmanship than you think. Starting off on the right foot is therefore essential.

It is clear that a swimming pool must have an adequate system and this is part of its design.

It often happens that little depth is given to the "pool problem" when approaching the subject. Until he actually creates one, the client sometimes doesn't realize the difficulties that a project of this type entails. What you study on paper is one thing, what actually happens on the construction site is another.

It is therefore important to be supported by valid sector experts to tackle this type of project. Finding yourself with problems to resolve once the work has been completed, or even after a few years, means having wasted a lot of money.”

geometra rossano luchettiGeometra Rossano Luchetti thinks the same way.

“Many people think that building a swimming pool starts around March and then has it ready for the summer. In reality this is not the case.

The swimming pool must be planned much in advance. There are building procedures to do, authorizations to obtain, etc. Furthermore, the type of terrain must be assessed and whether there are any reinforcements to be made. Therefore we need to move in time.

This is why it is important to rely on true professionals in the sector, who know how to guide you and support you in a professional and competent way."
