Here is Our Step-by-Step Construction Process
Investing in a backyard oasis is an exciting milestone for any South Florida homeowner. However, building a custom swimming pool requires precision, transparency, and a deep understanding of local building requirements. If you are searching for a trusted Miramar Pool Contractor, you need a team that doesn’t just dig holes, but engineers long-lasting luxury.
Based right here in Miramar, FL, Accro GC is a fully licensed general contractor specializing in high-end, custom gunite pools. Because we live and work in the Miramar community, we understand our local soil conditions, South Florida high water tables, and the specific permitting guidelines required by Broward County.
Here is exactly how we take your backyard from an empty plot of grass to a pristine, resort-style custom pool.
The Accro GC Custom Gunite Pool Construction Process
Building a concrete pool is a complex engineering project. To ensure absolute transparency and peace of mind, we break our expert construction process down into clear, manageable phases.
Phase 1: Custom Design & Architectural 3D Rendering
Every great pool begins with a great blueprint. We sit down with you to map out your vision, taking into account your yard’s unique layout, property lines, and easements. We generate an exact 3D rendering of your pool, spa, and surrounding deck so you can visualize the final result before we ever break ground.
Phase 2: Engineering & Miramar, FL Permitting
Navigating local building codes can be a headache for homeowners. As your dedicated Miramar pool contractor, we handle 100% of the heavy lifting when it comes to compliance. We prepare professional engineering plans that account for Broward County’s strict wind load, setback, and safety enclosure requirements, ensuring your permits clear the City of Miramar building department without unnecessary delays.
Phase 3: Excavation & Precision Dirt Removal
Once permits are approved, the transformation begins. Our team carefully marks out the pool shape and uses specialized heavy machinery to excavate the earth. We don’t just dig; we expertly contour the soil to the exact depths specified in your engineering plans, ensuring the foundation is structurally sound.
Phase 4: Structural Steel Rebar Framing
To ensure your pool withstands South Florida’s shifting soil and high water table, we build an incredibly strong skeletal framework. We weave a grid of heavy-duty steel rebar (reinforced steel bars) throughout the entire excavated area. This acts as the structural “backbone” of your concrete pool.
Phase 5: High-Performance Plumbing & Hydrotherapy Lines
Before the concrete is poured, we install all the essential under-slab hydraulics. This includes dual main drains, skimmers, return lines, and custom water feature plumbing. We use heavy-schedule PVC and pressure-test the entire system to ensure a flawless, leak-free circulation setup for your pumps and filters.
Phase 6: Gunite Application & Curing
Next comes the main event: the gunite application. Gunite is a specialized mixture of sand and cement sprayed through a hose at high velocity onto our steel framework. Our skilled craftsmen masterfully hand-trowel the walls, steps, benches, and sun shelves. Once applied, this concrete shell must undergo a strict curing process, where it is lightly watered daily to achieve maximum structural density.
Phase 7: Tile, Coping, and Decking
With the rock-solid shell cured, we begin the aesthetic transformations. We install your chosen waterline tiles and perimeter coping (the stone or concrete edge lining the pool). From there, we lay down your custom pool deck—whether you prefer premium travertine pavers, artistic stamped concrete, or sleek modern porcelain.
Phase 8: Premium Plaster Interior Finish
The final step before adding water is applying the interior finish. We hand-trowel a premium plaster, quartz, or pebble finish across the entire pool interior. This creates a smooth, watertight seal and gives your pool water its brilliant, inviting color.
Phase 9: Fill, Balance, and “Pool School”
Once the interior is finished, we immediately fill the pool with water. We start up your filtration equipment, check all water features, and balance the water chemistry. Finally, we walk you through a personalized “Pool School” session, showing you exactly how to operate your automation, lights, and pumps.
