Legacy
Make Family Memories Matter
After the agreement is finalized, we order engineering details and put together a construction plan for the permitting process with the city. We give you a plan to submit to your HOA. Once we have HOA approval and permit in hand we begin the dig process. After the pool has been dug and reinforced with steel rebar, the plumbing lines and rough electric are run then the shotcrete shell is formed. After the shotcrete shell finishes the curing process, we enter into the masonry phase. In the masonry phase the ascetic details of the project are added and you begin to see the semblance of the finished product. Take heart because we are with you at every phase, communicating with you, our team, and our subcontractors – our proactive communication keeps you informed, so you are always aware of what is happening and when it’s happening.
