Want to get a swimming pool built in your backyard? Everyone wishes for a swimming pool where they can relax and have fun with their family and friends. But a pool cannot be built overnight. Here’s a tentative timeline for you to calculate how much time it would take you to get your backyard swimming pool constructed.
Finalizing the Design
The first step towards getting your backyard swimming pool constructed is to plan and freeze the design. For this, you can reach out to a swimming pool construction expert such as Torontopool, specialists of indoor swimming pools in Toronto. Select your plan and let the designer show you its 3D versions to help you understand what your pool will look like better. This process will tentatively take one to four weeks.
Applying for Permissions
Most cities and townships require you to get permission from the authorities to build an in-ground swimming pool. The document helps you undertake the construction without resistance and reassure your neighbors and city officials that the work is being carried out safely and legally.
The time needed for obtaining a permit for swimming pools in Toronto varies from place to place. However, the average time needed to get it varies from two to six weeks.
Excavation
Once you have obtained permission for your backyard swimming pool, it’s time for the work to begin. Your pool builder will initiate excavation. Usually, the excavation process roughly takes a week. However, if your pool is near utility lines or other obstructions, the process may take longer. You will have to speak to your pool builder and understand how much time your pool digging may take, given the location of your choice.
Laying Down Steel, Installing Plumbing and Electrical Wiring
The next thing that your pool builder will undertake is laying the steel and installing the plumbing and electrical features in your backyard swimming pool. The pool builder will need about two weeks to complete laying down the essentials for your pool.
Installing the Pool
Your pool builder will now install your backyard swimming pool. If you are using a vinyl or fiberglass pool, the process will be faster. However, if you are getting a gunite pool constructed, the process will take at least a week. The reason for this is that the builder will have to line up the crew and complete the plastering of your pool. This process should take about one to three weeks, roughly.

Installing Deck and Other Custom Features
Once your pool is installed, you might want to add other features such as decks or undertake landscaping around the pool. Your pool builder will take about one or two weeks to complete adding the additional features to your backyard swimming pool.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Once the construction and addition of features are complete, the next step is preparing the pool for swimmers. Filling the backyard swimming pool should take about a couple of days. Installation of the pool pump, pool filter, pool heater, and addition of chemicals can be done in a couple of days.
The pool construction process may take about 2-3 months, considering the delay in permits, weather conditions, etc. However, your waiting period for your dream pool will fly in the blink of an eye.
