Crunch the numbers and decide on a realistic budget for your project. Knowing how much you can spend will help your contractor and ensure you don’t overstretch your resources.
To avoid any unpleasant surprises, consult your insurance company. Some swimming pools can nominally affect your home insurance rates.
When doing your research, pay special attention to the warranties of each company to ensure that you don't run into unpleasant surprises in the future.
Excavation equipment typically requires a clear, level, path at least 6 feet wide. To gain unobstructed access into your back yard, it is sometimes necessary to temporarily remove a section of fence, garden, or other feature. Your neighbours may be inconvenienced during this process. So, consider broaching the subject with them in advance. You never know, they may also have a pool project in mind, in which case, you can organize sharing costs and entry paths.

At Precision Pools, we take care of organizing all permits and inspections for you. But, know that these are part of the pool construction process and can sometimes take several weeks to obtain. Pool construction bylaws differ between Kitchener, Waterloo, the various municipalities, and The Grand River Conservation Authority (who regulate all drainage and wet areas in the Grand River basin, which may affect your property). These bylaws can sometimes be a little complicated. But, rest assured, we know them inside and out and we’ll ensure we jump through all the necessary hoops on your behalf. What We’ll Need: To secure your necessary permits, we will need to submit a copy of your property survey, indicating where the pool and surrounding fences will be placed, along with other details, such as the type of fencing, etc. If you’re interested in knowing more, follow the links on the right for your geographic area; if not, know we’ve got you covered!
