The installation of a pool in your backyard is a fantastic holiday gift for your family. However, you might be wondering whether winter is the best time for pool construction. While there is no need to worry about cold temperatures in Hawaii, other seasonal factors could affect your decision about when to begin a pool project.

Advantages of Building a Pool During Winter

In Hawaii, winter can be the most economical time for pool construction. It’s a slow period for contractors because people are busy with school, holiday preparations, and other activities. This means many concrete contractors have mostly smaller jobs like waterproofing on their work schedules and will welcome the opportunity to take on a larger project like swimming pool installation. The end of the year also is an excellent time to take advantage of material prices before they rise at the start of the new year. Since pool builders usually are less busy during the winter, more workers are available and construction usually is finished faster. However, winter is the wettest time of year in Hawaii, so there’s a chance rain could cause delays.

What to Expect During Pool Construction

The first phase of pool construction is the design process. Review your options with your contractor to determine the best layout for your space and terrain. Once you finalize a plan, contractors will mark the outline of the pool for excavation. They will dig manually and with heavy machinery like a skid-steer loader. Excavation can take several hours or a day, depending on the size of the pool and complexity of the design. Your contractors then will install plumbing components and steel bars that serve as the backbone of the pool. Once they complete the framework, they will apply concrete and wait for it to dry. Workers then will install tile to complete your pool construction project.
