GENESIS® E381: Engineering the Renovation: When Existing Pools Need More Than a Facelift
Thursday, January 28, 2027: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
CEU Credits:1.5
Speaker(s)
Description
Renovation projects can look simple at the estimate stage but become complex once demolition exposes structural, hydraulic, drainage, or code-related problems. This session helps professionals evaluate existing pools with an engineering mindset before they price, design, or promise a scope of work. Attendees will explore how to separate cosmetic improvement from true rehabilitation and how to communicate those findings to clients.
Tracks:
Learning Objectives
1. Identify signs that an existing pool may require structural, hydraulic, drainage, or code-related evaluation.
2. Differentiate between cosmetic renovation, functional upgrade, and rehabilitation-level project scopes.
3. Develop pre-renovation documentation practices that support accurate pricing and client communication.
4. Explain how early investigation can reduce change orders, disputes, and project risk."
