What Design-Build Actually Means.
Design-build is a delivery method where a single company is responsible for both the design and construction of your project — start to finish. It sounds simple, but it’s fundamentally different from the way most outdoor construction works, where an architect or designer creates plans and then hands them off to a separate contractor who may or may not have been involved in the design conversation at all.
At Palmetto Pools, design and construction are the same conversation. Our project managers and field crews have worked together for years. When your designer specs a particular coping detail or water feature placement, the build team knows exactly what it requires and how to deliver it — because they’re the ones who’ll actually be doing it. That continuity is what eliminates the gaps where most outdoor projects fall apart.
What's Included
- 3D concept design & site-specific layout
- Material and finish selection consultation
We Manage
- All permitting, inspections & approvals
- Every trade from excavation to finish
The Palmetto Difference
One Company. Every Phase. Zero Handoffs.
Most pool projects involve four or five different contractors. We handle everything in-house — which means your project stays on schedule, on budget, and exactly as designed.
Custom Design
3D renderings, site-specific layout, and material selections — all before a shovel hits the ground.
Permit Management
We file, track, and manage every permit. You don't deal with the city — we do.
On-Site Supervision
A Palmetto project manager is on-site at every phase — not checking in once a week.
Turnkey Delivery
We hand you the keys when the project is truly finished — water balanced, equipment running, and every detail dialed in.
Traditional Approach
- ✕ Multiple contractors, zero coordination
- ✕ You manage the schedule and the conflicts
- ✕ Design and build done by different people
- ✕ Scope creep with no accountability
- ✕ Finger-pointing when problems arise
The Palmetto Design-Build Way
- ✓ One team, one contract, one point of contact
- ✓ We run the schedule — you just watch it happen
- ✓ Designer and builder are the same company
- ✓ Fixed scope, clear milestones, no surprises
