00:00A swimming pool is not just a basin of turquoise water.
00:03This is a structuring, technical, administrative and landscape-related decision.
00:07Forget just one parameter and your budget, like your comfort, can explode.
00:13Understanding the nature of the soil.
00:14The ground is the invisible foundation of any swimming pool.
00:18Without a concrete diagnosis, the risks are numerous.
00:20Basin cracks, hydrostatic pressures, subsidence, structural cost overruns.
00:25On sensitive terrain, terraced fields, embankments, clay soil,
00:29Soil analysis is not a luxury, it's life insurance for your project.
00:33For example, on a sloping construction site, the craftsman wanted to dig in an unstable area.
00:38The soil study revealed a pocket of uncompacted fill.
00:41We moved the pool only 2 meters,
00:44saving over 18,000 euros on structural repairs by avoiding major risks of cracking.
00:532. Choose the right location.
00:56The location determines 70% of the project's success.
01:00Solar orientation, view, wind management, site accessibility,
01:05location of the technical room, relationship with the house, shaded area, external circulation.
01:10Nothing should be left to chance.
01:12A poorly located swimming pool is used 3 times less.
01:15A well-positioned swimming pool becomes a natural extension of the home.
01:20a lively, pleasant, and busy space.
01:243. Determine the dimensions.
01:26Size is not just an aesthetic issue, it is a regulatory and functional one.
01:32For areas under 10 square meters, the procedures are simplified.
01:34Beyond that, it's a different story.
01:36Declaration, ABF, distance to boundary lines, etc.
01:40But above all, think about use before size.
01:45For swimming, length 8 to 12 meters.
01:48For relaxation, submerged beach and shallow depth.
01:51A well-sized swimming pool suits a lifestyle, not a Pinterest photo.
01:564. Check the administrative rules.
02:00Each municipality sets its own rules.
02:02Colour, coping, shelter height, distance, integration, landscaping, protected area.
02:08Within the ABF perimeter, a bad choice can block the case for months.
02:13We systematically work on urban planning validation before the final design.
02:18This is what prevents projects from being rejected, modified urgently, or not compliant.
02:255. Choose the type of swimming pool.
02:28This choice is strategic.
02:29For example, a concrete swimming pool offers freedom of shape and greater durability, but comes at a cost and a delay.
02:37A polyester hull, faster, more economical, but standard size.
02:43Reinforced membrane, optimal sealing, greater durability, but requires execution.
02:48Rigorous execution.
02:50Off-ground, low budget, low property value.
02:55Today, reinforced liners are aesthetic, safe and come in high-end textures and prints.
03:01This is a choice I prefer for sensitive projects.
03:076. Plan for the technical room.
03:10The technical room is the heart of the system.
03:13Filtration, treatment, hydraulics, electricity.
03:16Too small, poorly ventilated or poorly located, boredom guaranteed.
03:21Noise, condensation, impossible access to equipment.
03:24A successful swimming pool is a swimming pool that is easy to maintain.
03:28A poorly designed swimming pool is a swimming pool that you get tired of.
03:327. Manage water filtration and treatment.
03:36Water quality depends on 4 parameters.
03:39Hydraulics, filtration, treatment, circulation.
03:43Salt, chlorine, UV, automatic regulator.
03:46There is no universal solution.
03:49There is a system adapted to a use, a climate and a basin.
03:53An undersized filtration system is the primary cause of customer dissatisfaction.
03:598. Comply with safety obligations.
04:02The law mandates protection in accordance with the NF P90 306 A 309 standards.
04:09This is not an option, it is a civil and moral responsibility.
04:13A swimming pool without safety equipment is not a swimming pool, it is a constant danger.
04:209. Design the surrounding area.
04:23Terrace, coping stones, plants, shade, light,
04:26It is the surrounding development that transforms a waterhole into a living space.
04:31We designed projects where the swimming pool, the masonry terrace, the wooden deck, and the landscaping were carefully considered.
04:37together.
04:38The result is incomparable.
04:40There is visual consistency, continuity of use, and the budget is managed step by step.
04:4610. Implementation method and support.
04:49Building a swimming pool requires the involvement of several different trades.
04:52Earthworks, structure, hydraulics, electricity, planting, surfacing.
04:56Without guidance, the project becomes a series of isolated decisions.
05:01With guidance from an architect or landscape architect, it becomes a coherent project.
05:07We systematically have sensitive points validated by a design office when the configuration requires it.
05:13This is what guarantees, beyond aesthetics, the safety of people and the durability of the structure.
05:22Conclusion
05:22A swimming pool is not a purchase, it is a technical, aesthetic, structural, regulatory and landscaping project.
05:30Those who succeed all have one thing in common.
05:32They anticipate before they dig.
05:34Those who fail do the opposite.
