Shell construction
Shotcrete / gunite shell
Concrete pneumatically applied over a tied steel cage in the excavated hole. Any shape, any depth, any edge — this is how essentially every custom pool in San Diego County gets built.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.

Families, not products. The exact colour gets chosen off a physical sample against your house.
What is true of this material
- Built
- Steel cage, then concrete shot into place, then cured
- Shape
- Unlimited — including vanishing edges and raised walls
- Then
- It still needs tile, coping and an interior finish before it holds water
Ask whoever bids this
“Who inspects the steel before the concrete goes on, and can I see that sign-off?”
