Paolo Benedetti - Pool Plans, Aquatic Consultant, Pool Designer, Swimming Pool Construction, Pool Engineering

We take the construction and design of each swimming pool seriously, as if it were our own. Today's watershapes are exceedingly more complex than the kidney pools of the 1960's. But most pool builders have failed to remain up-to-date on their educations in design, construction, architecture, history, art and materials. They oftentimes ignore site conditions, changes in seasonal conditions, and factors which can negatively affect a project. Building codes, industry standards, acceptable workmanship and basic construction practices are disregarded due to simple ignorance.

Because of the general shortcomings of the swimming pool industry, the burden of swimming pool designs has been assumed by architects or other design professionals. While spectacular conceptually, most of these watershapes do not rise to their true potential, primarily due to the designer's lack of knowledge about pool construction, hydraulic design and structural engineering.

Upon recognizing that design professionals required support in bringing their visions to reality, Paolo began offering complete aquatic design consulting services. Conceptual design support from Google Sketch Up or 3D Auto-CAD, hand drawn architectural renderings and detail viginettes are offered to help clients visualize their completed project. Project documents include hydraulic design, plumbing schematics, electrical schematics, equipment room layout, pump and filtration specifications, scale drawings or 3D equipment room layouts, sanitization options, architectural details & sections, pool structural engineering, lighting schematics, material samples and mock-ups, construction & installation specifications, industry workmanship standards and waterproofing.

Through our liaisons with qualified structural engineers, we will interface on behalf of the client to ensure that the engineer understands the complexities of each project. The final results are a a complete set of architectural drawings, structural engineering and project specifications - ready for permitting or bidding.

Design professionals around the world have come to rely upon Paolo Benedetti's extensive knowledge of stone, concrete and glass tile mosaics to assist them in specifying and recommending finishes for their projects. Paolo's has made international connections during his personal tours of rock quarries and processors, glass tile factories, mosaic artisans and metal foundries around the globe. Paolo's vast experience with material sciences, sealers and waterproofing has proven beneficial when selecting and evaluating the environmental performance of a potential material.

Pool builders, developers, architects, landscape designers, and insurance companies have drawn on Paolo Benedetti's vast knowledge about pool construction and design to settle construction deficiency and workmanship disputes. Paolo began offering swimming pool expert witness, pool inspections and forensic investigation services in response to this demand.

Paolo also builds aquatic creations through his construction firm: Aquatic Technology Pool and Spa (CSLB #721117, B, C53), manages construction projects, provides quality assurance and owner's representative (owner's rep) services. We can contract directly using our artisans, vendors and craftsmen or we can supervise and advise the property owner's own contractors. Either way, Paolo will ensure that your watershape is built to the highest possible level of craftsmanship.
