Quick Answer
Good pool builders in Dubai get the engineering right, not just the tiles — a structural shell, correct waterproofing, and properly sized filtration/circulation are what keep a pool leak-free and clear for years. They also secure Dubai Municipality pool approval. First Unicorn designs and builds villa pools end-to-end, including infinity edges and heating, with maintenance (AMC) available after.

Swimming Pool Builders in Dubai — FAQ
How much does it cost to build a pool in Dubai?
A private villa pool typically starts around AED 80,000-120,000 and scales with size, depth, finishes and features like infinity edges and heating. First Unicorn gives a fixed price from a real BOQ.
How do you stop pools from leaking?
A properly engineered structural shell plus correct waterproofing (and pressure testing before finishes) — the step budget builders skip. It's the single biggest factor in a pool lasting.
Do you need approval to build a pool?
Yes — Dubai Municipality approval and, where applicable, community NOC. We handle both in-house.
Do you build infinity pools and add heating?
Yes — infinity edges, vanishing edges, heating/chilling, LED lighting and water features are all part of the design-and-build scope.
