Pool Construction in the Puerto Cancún Canal Villas: villa pools, infinity edges and rooftop plunge pools
Canal villa pools sit close to the water table and the seawall; we design the structure and waterproofing for that and often build the pool deck down to the dock. We build and renovate pools for Puerto Cancún villas and penthouses: reinforced concrete shells, infinity edges, rooftop plunge pools, efficient equipment, lighting and decks, with the community's approval.
What we do
Villa pools
Concrete shells, steps, benches and sun shelves.
Infinity edges
Vanishing edges facing the golf course or canals.
Rooftop plunge pools
Structural review, waterproofing and equipment on the roof.
Equipment
Variable-speed pumps, salt chlorination, heat pumps and automation.
Renovation
Resurfacing, new tile, leaks repaired and equipment replaced.
Decks
Non-slip stone or porcelain decks that stay cool.
Pool Construction in the Puerto Cancún Canal Villas
Canal villa pools sit close to the water table and the seawall; we design the structure and waterproofing for that and often build the pool deck down to the dock.
Ultra-luxury villas built in the last decade and lots still waiting for construction. Typical projects are new villas from scratch, docks, pools and complete repositioning of the first villas built here.
The setting: Navigable canals, private docks
Water on one side means seawall and dock detailing, deep foundations on fill, waterproofing below the water table and marine-grade metalwork everywhere outdoors.
Groundwater and soil
The water table in Cancún is shallow and the ground is sand over limestone, so shells are designed against uplift and drained correctly during construction.
Equipment that survives salt
Pumps, heaters and fittings are placed in ventilated rooms and specified for coastal air; salt chlorination is set up correctly to avoid corrosion.
Rules in this sector
The association's architectural review, the municipal licence with DRO and the master plan's marine guidelines for docks and seawalls; crews and trucks are scheduled with security. New pools and changes to the exterior need the community's approval and a municipal licence; rooftop pools also need the tower administration and structural calculations.
Managed for owners who live abroad
You get one English-speaking project manager and one WhatsApp group, a weekly photo and video report, a live budget and payments by milestone after each stage is checked; most owners only fly in for handover.
