Need pool build before house build?

9 years ago

We are about to build a new house with a pool. However the property is extremely rocky. So, I'm not sure if we need to have pool dug first or go on with house build first. I think there is plenty of room to get equipment in and out. However, we are building on a mountain bluff. Any advice would be appreciated.

Your best bet is to first contact a soil engineer to get a better understanding of the property you plan to build on. If blasting or hammering is needed for either structure, it should be performed at the same time. This will prevent possible damage to either structure.

A structural engineer is necessary for the pool as well as the house. Someone with experience working in terrain of this nature and also and home and pool construction is recommended. It's not a job for someone to "wing it".

There are many considerations to be met working on a hillside-rock or nor rock.

Mystic pools is exactly right. You should talk to your pool contractor now during planning or pre-construction to make sure you are taking the right steps.
