The Pool DesignerThe world-wide building industry is dominated by International Architects - many of them are British or American - and the world-wide civil engineering industry is dominated by British and American consultantsSo it is very strange that the world-wide pool industry is dominated by Pool Installation contractors who provide "Design and Build" Services.Will does not believe that the average contractor knows how to get the Concept Design right! - they are good at the detailed engineering - and that is what they should concentrate on.But if the basic concept is wrong the project will never be really successful - not matter how good the detailed engineering is!Will believes that if a Pool Contractor is responsible for the Concept Design of a pool project it will have real flaws that will cause real problems throughout its useful life......... and more importantly its useful life can easily be as much as half of what it would have been if the pool concept design had been done properly in the first place.Will gets calls every week from people that have problems with their swimming poolsThe main reason for this is that most of the people that run the pool installation firms have all learnt on the job - this is great for the detailed engineering that they do so well - but they have never been exposed to the sort of thinking that should go into the concept design of any construction project.Many British people reading this will have watched Cowboy Builders who clear up the mess left in their wake.It is very very noticeable that the people affected have all been penny wise and pound foolish:-By not engaging an Architect to get the job right!!You never ever see wealthy people that have engaged an architect on Cowboy Builders - Architects may add 10% to the cost of a job - but they also add 100% certainty that the job will not be bodged!And exactly the same thing applies to swimming pools – only more so!!!
