The complete plan set behind a pool that gets built right.

A pool is one of the most technical things you can build in a backyard. Daydream prepares the full design and documentation package, from layout and cross sections to plumbing, equipment, and permit plans, and coordinates licensed engineers and trades for the stamped drawings a pool requires.

Why It Matters

A pool lives or dies on its documentation.

Behind the water is a genuinely complex system: structure that has to hold tons of load, plumbing and hydraulics that have to circulate correctly, equipment that has to be sized and placed right, electrical and gas that have to be safe and to code. Get the documentation wrong and you get failed inspections, equipment that underperforms, and expensive rework buried in concrete.

Daydream prepares the pool design and documentation as a coordinated set. We handle the layout, cross sections, equipment, and plumbing design ourselves, and we coordinate licensed engineers and trades for the structural, electrical, and gas drawings that require a stamp. The result is one complete, permit-ready package where every part agrees with every other part.

The Full Plan Set

Every drawing a pool build needs.

A complete pool documentation package, prepared in-house and coordinated with licensed professionals where a stamp is required.

Pool Layout & Site Plan

The pool positioned accurately on the property, coordinated with grade, setbacks, and the surrounding outdoor living space.

Cross Sections & Details

Sectional drawings showing depth, shape, walls, steps, and construction detail through the pool.

Plumbing & Hydraulic Plans

Circulation, returns, skimmers, and hydraulic design so the pool turns over correctly and runs efficiently.

Equipment Layout Plans

Pumps, filters, heaters, and automation sized and placed for performance, access, and serviceability.

Permit Plans

The drawings and documentation assembled to satisfy your jurisdiction's pool permit requirements.

Structural, Electrical & Gas

Coordinated with licensed engineers and trades for the stamped structural, electrical, and gas drawings a pool requires.

Honest About the Work

What we prepare, and what we coordinate.

A pool package spans several disciplines. Here is exactly how each part is handled, so you know what you are getting.

01

We Prepare

Pool layout, cross sections, plumbing and hydraulic design, equipment layout, and the permit plan set, prepared in-house.

02

We Coordinate

Structural engineering, electrical, and gas drawings that require a licensed stamp are handled with our licensed engineering and trade partners.

03

We Integrate

Every discipline is coordinated into one set, so the plumbing, structure, equipment, and electrical all agree with each other.

04

We Build or Hand Off

We build the pool as your design-build team, or deliver a clean, permit-ready set for your crews to build from.

Who It Serves

For homeowners and for pool builders.

Homeowners get a pool designed and documented as part of the whole outdoor space, not a shape dropped on a lot. Pool builders and contractors get a complete, coordinated plan set to build from, with the engineering coordination handled. And because we also build pools, including carbon steel and gunite, every plan is drawn by people who know how it gets built.

Common Questions

Pool design and documentation, answered.

What is included in a pool design package?
Typically the pool layout and site plan, cross sections and details, plumbing and hydraulic design, equipment layout, and permit plans, plus coordinated structural, electrical, and gas drawings where a stamp is required. The exact set depends on your project and jurisdiction.
Do you do the engineering yourselves?
We prepare the pool layout, plumbing, hydraulic, and equipment design in-house. For drawings that require a licensed engineer's stamp, such as structural, and for licensed electrical and gas work, we coordinate the appropriate licensed professionals. You get one coordinated package.
Can you document a pool for another builder?
Yes. We provide pool design and documentation as a standalone service for builders and contractors who want a complete, coordinated permit-ready set without producing it in-house.
Do you handle the pool permit?
We prepare permit-ready plans and can manage the permit process through review. Pool permitting requirements vary by jurisdiction, and we prepare the set to meet them.
What kinds of pools do you design for?
Gunite, carbon steel, and specialty pools. Because we build pools ourselves, the documentation reflects real construction methods, not just a generic drawing.
