International Watershape and Aquatic Consulting

Aqua Design, International Watershape Consulting, Swimming Pool Construction, Owner's Representation and Expert Witness

With a 23-plus year background of actually designing and building swimming pools and managing their operations, we deliver thoughtful designs with an emphasis on reducing reoccurring maintenance, operational and labor expenses.  

Our practical experience actually operating swimming pools, aquatic facilities and resort watershapes, provides us with an invaluable insight into the typical inherent design flaws and oversights.  Simply put, we know what works and where the hidden maintenance and operational costs lie.

Focusing on the ROI, drives our design decisions.... the REAL definition of VALUE ENGINEERING.

A few extra dollars spent upfront can bring a significant savings in maintenance, operating expenses, service calls, labor, downtime and ease any future expansion plans... not to mention reduce end user complaints.


A simple example was an entire equipment room whose gear was mounted directly onto the concrete floor.  After 10 years of rinsing and flooding of the equipment room, valuable equipment needed to be replaced.  Simple concrete blocks could have elevated the equipment off of the floor, greatly extending their lifespan.


Penny wise, experience poor, and pound foolish.
