GENERAL CONSTRUCTION: ROTATION 
Each pool is built in the order that it is dug. This means that if the Smith pool is dug on the 3rd and the Davis pool is dug on the 8th , then the crews would go first to the Smith pool and then to the Davis pool. This is called "rotation". In addition to a pool's construction rotating within our company, we often are subject to rotation within a subcontractor's schedule also. Many of our subcontractors work only for Dream Pools however and this second rotation is not necessary. 

WEATHER DELAYS 
Even if it doesn't rain at your house, rain at another location may delay a crew from finishing their work in progress. This in turn holds up the rotation to your house even though you experienced no rain at all! Certain phases are more effected by wet weather than others. Grading for concrete decking and access for machinery to dig or cleanup is held up by wet ground. And it's pretty hard to find someone who'll work in the middle of a steel rebar cage during a lightening storm! Plaster can't be applied in the rain and concrete and gunite cannot be applied below certain temperatures (normally 35 degrees). 
 

TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE SOUP 
After you've completed the design, pricing and contract phases your designer turns over all of his information to the construction department. All construction or scheduling questions at that point should be directed to the construction staff. This is not to say that you can't call your designer, it's just that we keep the design and construction phases separate to avoid confusion. If we have a design question as to what was actually sold to you or an interpretation of any construction specifications we will contact the designer immediately. It is crucial to your pool's construction that only the designated scheduler schedules each phase. Construction scheduling is a very difficult job that we try to make simpler by daily contact by your scheduler. 

UTILITY MARKING 
We will have your utilities marked prior to excavation. All utilities in the easement will be marked and some will even be marked where they cross your yard. We do not ever ramp in the easement. You may want to move your pool to avoid these lines during layout. It is important to remember that we are not responsible for any underground utilities, including but not limited to, electric, cable, gas, sprinkler, drainage, or phone lines unless specifically included in your contract in writing.
