We know swimming pool construction isn’t business as usual. Working one-on-one with families like yours for over 20 years, Clear Tech Pools knows that swimming pool building is a big investment, big responsibility, big coordination, and big vision. Having served St Pete, FL, and the surrounding counties for over 30 years, our crew is committed to providing reliable commercial pools that add value to your property and last for years to come.
Our in-house crew handles all aspects of the build, enabling us to uphold exacting standards, cut down on delays, and make the kinds of mistakes that often result when hiring subcontractors. The following breakdown outlines our methodical approach to each commercial pool construction.
Step 1: Collaborative Design And Planning
Approved engineering drawings are the starting point. There, our project manager visits with your team to further perfect the design to fit the layout, functional requirements, and codes relevant to commercial applications. Whether it’s in a hotel, community center, or health club, we tailor the design to fit real-world use with aesthetics in mind. This phase is important because it prevents delays and unpredictable costs as we advance to construction.
Step 2: Site Preparation – Stripping And Grading
Proper site prep is the backbone of any successful pool project. We strip the topsoil and safely stockpile it on-site for later reuse. Our grading team works to provide every inch exactly how it was intended, to allow the natural flow of drainage, and to ensure that the foundation maintenance is held to the highest priority. Since we never farm out this work, we can ensure that nothing is rushed or missed. Accuracy here saves thousands down the line.
Step 3: Excavation And Filter Pad Setup
Digging is completed with our equipment fleet and licensed, experienced operators. The pool is carved from the earth to the precise size and shape of your desired pool, and we do this by hand to ensure proper application of gunite later. We also install a custom filter pad at this stage, which is essential for the long-term performance of your commercial pool’s filtration system.
Step 4: Stone Base Installation With Hydrostatic Safety
One of the most important protective measures we install is the stone base equipped with hydrostatic relief valves. In Florida, where water tables can fluctuate dramatically, these valves allow water to enter the pool if necessary, avoiding upward pressure that can crack or lift a pool shell. This safeguard is a hallmark of Clear Tech Pools’ commitment to lasting quality in the construction of swimming pools.
Step 5: Advanced Plumbing And Conduit Layout
Our plumbing systems are engineered for durability, reliability, and efficiency. Using commercial-grade PVC and fittings, we complete the full installation immediately after excavation. All lines are pressure tested with air, and we verify integrity at several stages of the project. At this point, we also run all necessary electrical conduits to avoid future disruption to the site. Our seamless integration process avoids the delays common with phased utility work.
Step 6: Reinforcement With High-Strength Steel
Structural integrity is non-negotiable. We encase the pool structure with 1/2-inch, 8-gauge steel rebar in a tight grid formation, with additional reinforcement around steps, benches, and other load-bearing areas. Each bond beam features multiple rebar runs and 12-inch thickness, which far exceeds code minimums. This level of detail significantly extends the lifespan of your investment.

Step 11: Pool Plastering And Fill-Up
The plaster finish is applied by hand and selected to match the project’s color palette and aesthetic. This critical surface layer provides waterproofing, comfort, and visual appeal. Our team begins filling the pool immediately after plastering and monitors water chemistry closely to ensure safe usage conditions from day one.
Step 12: Full-Service Landscaping (Optional)
With our associated landscaping crew, we provide full finishing to complement your outdoor surroundings. From hardscapes and lighting, trees and shrubs, to irrigation and more, this service offers clients a one-stop resource for all outdoor designs. It’s yet another reason property owners choose Clear Tech Pools for the construction of swimming pools in commercial environments.
Step 13: Final Review, Handover, And Client Satisfaction
Our work isn’t complete until you are fully satisfied. We conduct a final walkthrough, address any outstanding items, and ensure all systems are functioning as expected. Clear Tech Pools is built on referrals and client satisfaction—your review matters, and we encourage you to share your experience with others in the St. Pete, FL area.
