Omni Pool Builders and Design Reviews

Omni Pool Builders is a good choice for Arizona homeowners and businesses wanting custom pools and outdoor spaces. Services include pool construction, renovations, landscaping and water features, among others. Financing options make it easier to afford large projects.

Services are limited to the Tucson area and pricing isn’t available online. Those wanting unique designs and features may find it a great fit.

Omni Pool Builders primarily provides the design and installation of residential and commercial swimming pools. It does not provide direct cost estimates for pools on its website.

Omni Pool Builders does offer four financing options, shown in the table below.

Omni Pool Builders lays out its steps for pool design and installation clearly on its website. Here is a brief overview of how it works for residential pools:

1. Call or visit Omni Pool Builders and Design: Call 520-222-8503 for a free quote or visit its showroom in Tucson to explore available products and styles. It promises everything shown there is in stock and available.

   In the showroom, you can work with a pool design specialist who will create your design using 3D software. The designer will meet with you for as many consultations and revisions as needed until the design aligns with your vision.

   It also states it will request your plot plan (a scaled drawing that shows the layout of the property usually obtained from local government or a land surveyor) on your behalf to get accurate and detailed measurements, ensuring your pool fits your space and will be permitted.

2. Approve the design and pricing: Once approved, you’ll receive a contract to sign. When that’s done, Omni Pool Builders provides a custom schedule and detailed plan for the process of building your pool. The build can take anywhere from six to 12 weeks.
3. Layout and design: Its architects will visit your home and spray paint the design outline on the ground where your pool will be located. This step can take up to one week, depending on the requested revisions.
4. The dig: The excavation crew can take one to two days to dig out the area for your pool. Omni Pool Builders will then request the appropriate permits for pool installation, which can take up to a week to arrive.
5. Steel installation: Builders spend about two days bending and forming steel into the shape of your new swimming pool.
6. Plumbing and electrical: Certified plumbers install the circulation, drain and filter systems for your pool. If solar heating is included in your design, the electrical components are installed at this stage. Typically, this step takes up to a week and includes time to obtain plumbing and electrical permits.
7. Shotcrete: Workers spray Shotcrete (a type of pressurized concrete) over the next three days, shaping it into the pool and steps. This time frame includes the drying time.
8. Tile and decking: A tile setter installs the pool’s tile design while the pool deck is constructed. This process typically takes about a week but can vary depending on the pool’s size and complexity.
9. Interior finish: The pool’s final design is completed with additional Shotcrete, carefully hand-shaped. Then the walls and floor are finished with a concrete coating. Afterward, the pool is filled with water. This step generally takes three days.
10. Pool start-up: A technician tests all pool systems during the start-up process to ensure everything works. They clean the pool and tile deck and balance the water chemistry, including chlorination. This process takes several days.
11. Final coating of the deck: Pool construction concludes with a final coat of paint on the pool deck. This layer requires about 12 hours to dry, completing the step in approximately a day and a half.
12. Landscaping: If you’ve included landscaping in your initial pool design, it can take up to a week to complete, depending on the size of the area and the design. Omni Pool Builders and Design is also licensed for hardscaping (using non-living materials within the landscape design).
13. Pool completion: Six to 12 weeks after the groundbreaking, your pool is ready for swimming. It also offers several products to help keep your pool maintained.
