Concrete Pool Construction in Sanford, FL
A concrete pool is built in place: the hole is dug to the design, reinforced with steel, plumbed, and shot with concrete (gunite or shotcrete), then finished with plaster, aggregate or tile, so shape, size and depth are not limited by a factory mold.

Concrete Pool Construction in Sanford: common questions
Who issues pool permits in Sanford, FL?
The City of Sanford Building Division. The Building Division issues permits, inspections and certificates of occupancy inside city limits. Applications go through the city's online portal; paper applications and paper plans are no longer accepted.
Does every Sanford mailing address permit with the city?
Only addresses inside Sanford city limits. Unincorporated areas nearby permit through the Seminole County Building Division. Confirm which office covers your address before applying.
Why choose concrete over fiberglass?
Concrete is formed on site, so any shape, size or depth the lot allows is possible, including custom steps, benches, sun shelves and raised walls. Fiberglass shapes are fixed by the manufacturer.
Which inspections does a concrete pool go through?
It depends on the jurisdiction. The City of Orlando's residential pool checklist, for example, lists electrical pool steel grounding, building pool steel, electrical underground and pool deck and piping pressure inspections in its recommended sequence, before the final.
