Designed in 3D around your yard.

Plan on 3 to 6 months from signed contract to your first swim, with roughly 8 to 16 weeks of active construction once we break ground. The wildcard is almost always permits and HOA approval, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the city and your community. We publish the schedule up front and start the permit and HOA work early so the paperwork is not what holds you up.

Your builder does, and Apex coordinates it. Construction is performed by a licensed, bonded and insured Arizona contractor, who pulls every permit under their ROC license and schedules the city inspections at each stage: the pre-gunite inspection before the shell is shot, and the final inspection at the end. Apex manages the whole process so you never have to call the city or stand in line at a permit counter. You will receive your builder's ROC license number on your written contract and can verify it anytime at the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (roc.az.gov).

Caliche is a hard, cemented layer of desert soil, a calcium carbonate that has bonded the dirt into something close to concrete. It is a documented Sonoran Desert soil, common across the Valley and especially the East Valley, and when an excavator hits a thick seam it can slow dig day from a couple of days to the better part of a week. We assess the likelihood at the design visit and price it honestly up front, so a hard dig does not become a surprise change order later.
