Why homeowners switch to us

Tired of pool contractors who ghost mid-project?

Most pool companies in Dubai subcontract everything. That means delays, finger-pointing, and surprise costs. We do it differently.

The usual experience

×Subcontracted labour with no accountability
×Vague quotes that balloon after excavation
×No community approvals — work stops mid-build
×3-month delays are "normal"
×No warranty — good luck with leaks

Common questions

Swimming pool FAQ

A plunge pool (3x2m) starts from AED 55,000. A standard 8x4m pool costs AED 80,000–120,000. Lap pools (12x3m) range AED 100,000–150,000. Full custom or infinity pools start from AED 150,000 and can exceed AED 400,000 depending on features. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free site visit.
Most residential swimming pools take 4–8 weeks from excavation to commissioning. Larger custom or infinity pools with complex landscaping may take 8–12 weeks. We lock the timeline in the contract with milestone payments tied to progress.
Yes. We manage all community NOC applications for Emaar, Nakheel, Meraas, DAMAC, and Dubai Properties. Municipality permits and engineering approvals are included in our quote at no extra cost.
Fibreglass pools are faster to install (2–3 weeks), lower maintenance, and ideal for standard shapes. Concrete pools allow fully custom shapes, depths, and finishes but take 6–10 weeks to build. We construct both types and recommend the best option based on your site conditions, design preferences, and budget.
We assess crane access during the free site visit. Most Dubai villas have adequate access. For tight spaces, we use alternative methods including sectional fibreglass shells or hand-excavation for concrete pools. Access constraints are factored into your quote upfront — no surprises.
Pools need weekly chemical balancing, filter cleaning, and skimmer maintenance. We offer annual maintenance packages from AED 500/month covering all chemicals, equipment checks, and cleaning. All new builds include a 3-month complimentary maintenance period and full handover training so you can manage it yourself if preferred.
Yes. We install integrated jacuzzis, heat pumps, solar heating, waterfalls, fountain jets, underwater LED lighting, and infinity edges. These are priced as individual add-ons in your quote so you can choose exactly what fits your budget and add features later if needed.
All pools include anti-slip coping, compliant depth markings, and proper drainage. We also install pool fencing, retractable safety covers, pool alarms, and child-safe barriers on request. All builds comply with Dubai Municipality safety standards and community guidelines.
