Swimming pool contractor in Makati
In the CBD the pool is rarely the hard part. Getting the materials to the eighteenth floor is.
Elevated pools, built around a live building
Almost nothing we build in Makati sits on the ground. The work here is podium decks, mid-floor amenity levels, and rooftop pools on towers that are either still under construction or already occupied.
That changes what the job actually is. The shell engineering is coordinated with the building's structural engineer rather than with a soil report, materials move by hoist on a schedule somebody else controls, and the waterproofing interface with the structural slab becomes the detail that decides whether the floor below stays dry.
- Podium and amenity deck pools
- Rooftop and penthouse pools
- Lap pools on constrained floor plates
- Renovation of occupied building amenities
What Makati ground does to a pool
Makati sites are constrained by the building, not by the ground.
Structural load coordination
An elevated pool is a substantial dead load in a specific place. The shell design gets agreed with the building's structural engineer before anything is cast, not after.
No laydown area
There is nowhere to stage materials. Deliveries arrive to a schedule, move by hoist, and have to be sequenced against every other trade using the same equipment.
Waterproofing over occupied space
There are apartments or offices under an amenity deck. The waterproofing interface with the structural slab is the single detail with the highest consequence on the whole job.
Working around residents
Renovating an amenity pool in an occupied tower means noise windows, dust control, and access routes agreed with building management before the first day.
On an elevated pool, ask who is taking responsibility for the waterproofing interface between the pool structure and the building slab. If the pool contractor and the main contractor each assume the other has it, you will find out during the water test.
Building a pool in Makati
Do you build rooftop and podium pools in Makati?
Yes, and it is most of what we do in the CBD. Our portfolio includes lap pools, kiddie pools, and jacuzzis on podium levels, mid-floor amenity decks, and penthouse roof decks.
How do you handle a site with no space for materials?
By sequencing. Deliveries are scheduled against hoist availability and the main contractor's programme, and we agree access routes and working hours with building management before mobilising.
Who is responsible for the waterproofing over occupied floors?
We are, for the pool structure and its interface, and we want that boundary written into the scope rather than assumed. It is the detail that causes the most disputes on elevated pools.
Can you renovate an amenity pool while the building is occupied?
Yes. It needs noise windows, dust containment, and a staged programme agreed with building management, and we plan those before quoting rather than discovering them on site.
Do you coordinate with our MEPF consultant?
Routinely. On developer projects we work from the consultant's drawings and issue our own shop drawings for the pool package, so the tie-in points are agreed before installation begins.
