While Oasis builds the highest quality swimming pools using only the best materials on the market and the most skilled and trained professionals, we are able to remain very competitive in our market. One way we do this is by constantly auditing our suppliers to secure the best possible prices. We also use software for every unique pool which calculates the exact materials needed to build your pool. This allows us to be very accurate when creating the budget for your pool.

Great question and one I would ask if I was to hire a pool contractor, especially in today’s day and age. It truly breaks my heart to hear the horror stories, especially stories of our community being taken advantage of.

It has always been our stance to be transparent with our clientele. Oasis takes pride in starting the process immediately once the contract is signed. Our first step in the process includes our design team building the necessary layouts to acquire the permit, Duke Energy’s Letter of No Conflict and the detailed building plans for your specific swimming pool. During this time we are securing the products and materials for your pool. Duke Energy’s LONC typically takes 1-2 weeks and the permitting process, depending on the municipality, can be as quick as 2 weeks in the City of St. Pete, and upwards of 6 weeks for outlining municipalities. Once the permit is obtained, your Project Manager will schedule the pool build and material deliveries. Once scheduled, we will share a calendar with you outlining the anticipated timeframes of the build process. Once construction has begun, we work seamlessly throughout the process to reduce any delays. On the average, our builds typically take anywhere from 6-8 weeks, while some more elaborate builds take longer, depending on the scope of the project.

This is a crucial time in the swimming pool build. From the time we start digging the hole to the time the shotcrete (concrete) has been applied, takes 1-2 weeks.

While we do employ certain crews, some crews are subcontracted. Both our in-house crews and subcontracted crews undergo thorough training to meet the Oasis Standard. All but very few of our subs solely work for Oasis, and have done so for many years. Oasis also requires all of our subcontractors to carry General Liability and Works Comp Insurance, which we continually monitor.

The Oasis experience includes something unique in our industry. Your Project Manager managing your pool build is the same person that is selling you your swimming pool. We do this for a few reasons, one being is this eliminates any lack of communication between Sales and Project Management. What our Project Manager sells is what our Project Manager builds. Another reason is our Project Managers have many years of experience in the field building swimming pools. This gives them the ability to foresee additional resources that may be required, allowing us to be more transparent and accurate in our proposals.

The most common change orders are for the removal and disposal of unforeseen items beneath the ground. While digging, we have found things from tree trunks and root systems, all the way to old and unused concrete septic tanks. These items are obviously unknown to all parties, so we would have to charge the customer for the additional work to remove and dispose of the items found in the way of our process. Other change orders include the additional work requested by our customers, such as adding automation or increasing the size of the pool deck.

It has been our honor to serve our community since 2006. I would love to share our story on the About page of our website.
