Swimming pool construction

is not only a complicated and laborious task, but can be dangerous for an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer. If you are interested in hiring a contractor or engineer to design and build your swimming pool, here are some tips to assist you in the process:

* Find a contractor that has the adequate credentials, licenses, experience and insurance coverage.
* The best way to find a reputable company is to ask friends or family members to give you a referral. If you don’t have any luck through word of mouth, contact local trade and contracting associations to find out who their members are. In the U.S., the National Spa and Pool Institute and Master Pools Guild will help you identify qualified contractors.
