Value Engineering

Building beautiful pools and spas is not our biggest challenge. The challenge is to incorporate all of your dreams and desires into your backyard environment and within your budget. We will review all the various components of your project including decking, hardscape, landscaping, and all other phases in order to help you determine what will best meet your needs.

Dream Pools Consultation and Design Process

First Meeting and Consultation

A Dream Pools and Spas team member will schedule a meeting with you at your home to discuss your backyard dreams and ideas.

Every team member has at least 15 years of experience and an in depth knowledge of swimming pool and spa construction and local codes and requirements for your area.

Backyard walk through: This is where we will discuss your layout ideas and yard conditions such as slopes, utility and equipment locations and other factors affecting placement of the pool.
Your team member will ask you several questions about the style and look you are trying to achieve; and they will listen to you. Your team member will review all of the components of your project and show you a portfolio of photos to help guide you through the pre-design process.

*Note: We tend to be very thorough in this first meeting. Please plan up to 1.5 hours for the initial meeting.

Second Meeting and Design Review

In 1-2 weeks, or sooner, a design review meeting will be scheduled at your home to review the design and cost analysis. This is where we are confident you will start to notice a difference between the builders that you are consulting.

Total Design Concept: Every Dream Pools and Spas swimming pool design is hand drawn (no templates) and will include a complete backyard design concept. Including the swimming pool and spa, all decking, amenities such as fireplaces, BBQ’s, planting areas and it will comply with local codes. Every design is unique and created for you.

Revisions: Any design changes and modifications desired will be noted and implemented into the plan before final review.

Cost Analysis: Includes all of the construction costs relating to the design. All phases of the swimming pool construction, timing of the project, materials, equipment, and warranties are provided in a cost breakdown and analysis for your review.

We will provide you with a list of references and we can arrange to visit a new swimming pool or two at your request. Once the design and contracts are completed, the necessary permits will be obtained and an excavation day will be scheduled. Get ready, because here we go!!

What Our Clients Are Saying

Hear From Our Satisfied Clients: Real Stories of Transformative Outdoor Living

We have built 4 swimming pools in San Diego by some very reputable firms. But I can tell you this, I wouldn't have anyone but Richard and Dream Pools and Spas ever build another pool for us. The quality of work and attention to detail performed by all of the craftsman exceeded our expectations. Dream Pools and Spas delivers what they promise. They finished the project on time, promptly returned phone calls, and made modifications whenever requested. The follow up service and professional communication is superb. We are truly proud of our swimming pool and spa and our investment.

I must compliment the professionalism and quality displayed by all those who work for Dream Pools and Spas. I am retired and recently purchased a new home in Vista that my wife and I hope to be our last home. We knew exactly what we wanted and I provided a very extensive list to each prospective pool builder. The final result is spectacular! Dream Pools and Spas was competitively priced, and they completed the project on time and to my satisfaction. We truly feel that we made the best choice with Dream Pools and Spas and we enjoy our swimming pool and spa every day. Also, they always return my phone calls.
