A professional pool subcontractor who operates like a professional subcontractor. AIA billing, construction scheduling, trade coordination, and experienced craftsmanship on your luxury home builds.
If you are a general contractor building luxury homes in Fairfield County, you already know the problem with most pool subcontractors: they do not operate like professional subs. They do not submit proper billing. They do not coordinate with your schedule. They do not produce submittals or shop drawings. They show up when they feel like it, blame other trades for delays, and communicate through voicemails that go unreturned. You end up managing the pool sub like a babysitter instead of a trade partner.
Gedney Pools is different. We run our subcontracting business the way you run your general contracting business - with professionalism, documentation, scheduling, and communication. We submit AIA payment applications. We attend your construction meetings. We coordinate directly with your electrician, plumber, mason, and landscape contractor. We produce shop drawings and submittals formatted for architect review. And we show up when we say we will, do what we say we will do, and keep you informed throughout.
This is not aspirational - it is how we operate right now on active luxury projects. We currently work with top general contractors in Fairfield County on pool scopes ranging from $150,000 to $300,000+ as part of larger residential construction projects.
Comprehensive Proposals. Our subcontract proposals are detailed, clear, and complete. Every line item is specified - from excavation through final plaster, equipment, tile selections, coping material, and any water features or spa work. No allowances that balloon later. No change orders for items that should have been in the original scope. You and your client know exactly what the pool scope costs before the subcontract is signed.
Shop Drawings and Submittals. We produce professional shop drawings showing pool construction details, equipment specifications with cut sheets, material submittals for tile, coping, and interior finish, and coordination drawings showing interface points with site utilities, drainage, and adjacent hardscape. Our submittals are formatted for architect review and are typically approved with minimal revision because we detail them thoroughly the first time.
AIA Billing. We submit monthly pay applications using AIA G702/G703 format with a detailed schedule of values broken down by construction phase. Every billing includes current percent complete, stored materials documentation, and the required conditional and unconditional lien waivers. Our billing integrates cleanly with your project accounting and your owner's construction loan disbursement process.
Construction Schedule Coordination. We work within your master construction schedule. We provide our detailed pool construction timeline at project kickoff, identify all coordination points with other trades (electrical rough-in timing, plumbing interface, grading coordination, landscape sequencing), and update you on progress against schedule at every construction meeting. We understand that the pool is one component of a larger project, and we operate within that framework.
Trade Coordination. The pool touches multiple other trades: electrical (lighting circuits, pump power, bonding, GFCI), plumbing (gas line for heater, water supply for autofill, pool plumbing interface with site drainage), masonry (coping, decking, raised walls), and landscape (grading, planting, irrigation). We coordinate directly with your electrical and plumbing subs, your mason, and your landscape contractor to ensure seamless integration and zero rework.
Clean Job Sites. We keep our work area organized, protect adjacent finished work, and clean up daily. Your client is living through a construction project - the pool area should not look worse than the rest of the site.
We handle the complete pool scope within a residential construction project:
We can also provide pool decking and surround hardscape if preferred, or we coordinate with your preferred mason. We are flexible on scope boundaries and will define them clearly in the subcontract.
General contractors who build $3M-$15M+ homes in Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, and Westport need a pool sub who can operate at that level. Here is what sets us apart:
We are actively subcontracting on luxury residential projects in Fairfield County, working with established general contractors on pools that include vanishing edge designs, integrated spas, custom water features, and premium finishes.
