Introduction
Building a custom swimming pool in Kenya is an exciting way to enhance your home’s outdoor space and add value to your property. At Ibex, we specialize in guiding clients through the entire pool construction process—from initial design to the final touches. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how Ibex creates custom pools in Kenya, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for homeowners.
1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
- Consultation: Our process starts with a thorough consultation where we discuss your vision, budget, and preferences for pool size, shape, and design. We’ll review options for additional features like lighting, water slides, or sun decks, all tailored to your needs.
- On-Site Assessment: Our experts conduct a site visit to assess the landscape, soil type, and space. This evaluation helps us plan for excavation, layout, and logistics, laying a strong foundation for the construction phase.
2. Custom Pool Design and Planning
- Bespoke Design: Based on your ideas, Ibex’s design team crafts a personalized pool layout that complements your property’s aesthetic. Using advanced 3D modeling, we create renderings of the pool so you can visualize how it integrates with your outdoor space.

- Feature Selection: Choose from features like water fountains, ambient lighting, and decking to customize your pool’s look and functionality. We also help you select durable, beautiful finishes like tiles and coping for a polished final result.
3. Budgeting and Permits
- Detailed Budget Estimate: Once you approve the design, we provide a comprehensive cost estimate covering materials, labor, and optional features, giving you a clear picture of the project’s financial requirements.
- Permit Assistance: Ibex helps you secure necessary building permits and ensures the project complies with Kenyan regulations. Our team handles the paperwork, so you can relax while we manage the logistics.
4. Site Excavation and Preparation
- Excavation: We begin construction by excavating the site, creating a precise foundation according to the pool design. Our team works efficiently and carefully to ensure this crucial step is completed accurately.
- Reinforcement: We add steel reinforcement to strengthen the pool structure, enhancing its durability, especially in areas with variable soil conditions. This step ensures your pool will last and perform reliably for years.
5. Plumbing, Electrical, and Structural Work
- High-Quality Plumbing: Ibex installs an efficient plumbing and filtration system for optimal water flow and cleanliness. This setup minimizes maintenance while keeping water fresh.
- Electrical Installation: Certified electricians install wiring for lights, pumps, and other features, ensuring everything is safe and meets Kenyan safety standards.
- Pool Structure: We pour and shape the concrete according to the design, allowing it to cure for maximum durability. This solid structure forms the backbone of your custom pool.
6. Finishing and Detailing
- Tile and Coping Installation: With the structure in place, we add tiles and coping for an attractive and resilient finish. Choose from a range of high-quality materials to achieve the look you want.
- Decking and Landscaping: We complete the area with custom decking, adding a comfortable, slip-resistant surface around the pool. For a cohesive look, we also offer landscaping services to blend the pool seamlessly into your garden or outdoor area.
7. System Testing and Final Inspection
- Functionality Testing: Our team thoroughly tests the pool’s filtration, plumbing, and electrical systems to ensure everything works perfectly. We verify water quality, check for leaks, and test all components to meet our high-quality standards.
- Water Balancing: We balance the water to achieve safe, optimal pH levels, so the pool is ready for immediate use and provides a safe environment for swimming.

8. Handover and Maintenance Guidance
- Final Handover: After completion, we guide you through each feature, explaining how to operate and maintain your new pool. Our team answers any questions and provides essential maintenance tips for long-term enjoyment.
- Aftercare Support: Ibex offers continued maintenance options and aftercare to keep your pool in top shape. From regular cleanings to equipment checks, our support ensures your pool remains a beautiful, functional asset.
