Preparing for the swimming pool construction crew

Have you given any thought about making your yard welcoming for the swimming pool construction crew? The best pool builders in Champaign, Illinois from Imperial Pools offer tips for preparing for the swimming pool construction crew.

The swimming pool construction project will be a major project and will also cause a disruption in your life and in the available use for your backyard space. That’s all right though because once the project is complete, you will have a wonderful swimming pool that your family will enjoy for decades to come!

Prior to the construction crew showing up at your house you will want to get the yard prepared. Your pool contractor, or the crew leader, will let you know what will need to be done in order to allow the process to move forward.

Preparing for the swimming pool construction crew

There is a lot of coordination that goes into a swimming pool project, but you can help it move smoothly by having the area where the pool will be going as clear as possible.

1. Move your “stuff.” If you have outdoor furniture, a kids’ playset or other items in the way of the construction project area and excavation space you will want to call on some friends and have that all moved off to one side before the crews and the heavy equipment arrive.
2. Let the crew know, they can just come in and begin work. don’t make them wait to gain entrance each time they come and go because the gate locks behind them, for example.
3. Keep the children and pets out of the way. A construction area is likely to be exciting for the children but it is dangerous and they need to be kept out of the way. Also, clean up any messes your pets have made and find a different area for them to relieve themselves during the project.
4. They will need access to electricity and water. You will also need to be prepared for increases in your utility bills during the project as well as once the pool has been complete.
5. Keep the pets indoors. We’d already mentioned you need to keep them away from the construction site, but you also need to keep them away from the doors so they don’t bolt out an open door or an open gate. Remember, the construction crew is not accustomed to your pets and shouldn’t be responsible for them.

Your pool contractor will have detailed instructions for your particular project, but this will give you a good idea on what may be expected of you before the project starts.
