The process

Your custom pool, built in 8 steps.

LIV pools aren't drop-in concrete shells. Every one is engineered for your yard and sprayed on-site in solid gunite — any shape, depth, or feature you can dream up. Here's exactly how we get you swimming, without the months-long delays.

Week 1

Design consultation.

We start at your home — walking the yard, talking through how you want to live poolside, and capturing the site. You leave with a free, photo-real 3D design and a transparent, itemized quote.

  • On-site visit & measure-up
  • Free 3D design + finishes selection
  • Transparent, itemized proposal

24 hours

Engineering & permits.

Once you approve, your custom design goes to structural engineering within 24 hours. We handle permitting in-house and use private inspections to skip the city backlog that stalls most builds.

  • Custom structural engineering
  • In-house permitting
  • Private inspections — no city delays
3
Days 1–3

Layout & excavation.

Your crew marks the exact shape on the ground, then excavates the pool to spec. Because nothing is pre-cast, the pool is dug to your design — any shape, depth, sun shelf, or spa you chose.

  • Precision layout from your design
  • Excavation to engineered depth
  • Any shape — no shell limits
4
Days 3–7

Steel, plumbing & electric.

A hand-tied steel rebar cage forms the skeleton of your shell, then we rough in the plumbing and bond all the electrical. This is the structural backbone a drop-in shell simply can’t match.

  • Hand-tied rebar cage
  • Rough plumbing & returns
  • Electrical bonding (code + GFCI)
5
Days 7–10

Gunite shell.

We pneumatically spray structural gunite (shotcrete) over the steel, hand-carving every curve, step, bench, and spa in place. The result is a solid, monolithic concrete shell engineered to last a lifetime.

  • Sprayed structural concrete
  • Hand-formed steps, benches & spa
  • Cured for full structural strength
6
Weeks 3–6

Tile, coping & decking.

Now it takes shape: waterline tile, coping stone, and your travertine or paver deck go in. This is where your finish selections from the catalog come to life around the pool.

  • Waterline tile & accents
  • Coping stone
  • Travertine / paver decking
7
Weeks 6–8

Pebble interior & equipment.

Your chosen PebbleTec or quartz interior is troweled in, and we install and plumb the full Hayward equipment pad — variable-speed pump, salt, heater, and OmniLogic automation.

  • PebbleTec / quartz interior
  • Hayward equipment & salt
  • OmniLogic automation programmed

Final week

Fill, start-up & handover.

We fill the pool, balance and start up the water, and walk you through your new automation app. Then it’s yours — backed by our lifetime structural shell warranty.

  • Fill & water balancing
  • Automation app walkthrough
  • Lifetime shell warranty
Why custom-built

Not a drop-in shell. Built for your yard.

Pre-made concrete shells are fast, but they box you into fixed shapes and sizes. Because we spray solid gunite on-site, your LIV pool can be any shape, depth, or layout — with integrated spas, sun shelves, vanishing edges, and water features molded right in.

Any shape or size

Designed to your exact yard — not a catalog mold.

Monolithic strength

One continuous sprayed shell, engineered to last a lifetime.

Features molded in

Spas, shelves, and vanishing edges formed in place.
