Preliminary Survey & Feasibility
1–2 daysFree Online Pre-Consultation

The Çilek Havuz technical team begins your project by listening to you in an online meeting. The current state of the site, intended use, your expectations and the applicable technical conditions are evaluated together.

At this stage we clarify the pool's location, approximate dimensions, indoor or outdoor preference, plant-room position, drainage needs and budget frame. Critical topics such as ground bearing capacity, groundwater level, zoning status and distances to neighbouring structures are covered within the preliminary feasibility study.

The goal is to determine the right system, the right cost range and a workable roadmap before the project begins.

  • Site dimensions and intended use
  • Indoor / outdoor pool preference
  • Ground bearing capacity
  • Drainage and groundwater conditions
  • Plant-room location
  • Zoning and permit requirements
  • Pool type and usage capacity
  • Preliminary budget and build scenario

Why it matters

In pool projects that start without a proper feasibility study, mistakes in ground conditions, drainage, plant-room or capacity can lead to serious costs later on. At Çilek Havuz we review the technical picture with you at the very first stage and set the project on solid ground.

Pool Design & Engineering
2–4 daysTechnical Planning and Project Kick-off

At Çilek Havuz every project begins with sound analysis and engineering planning. Site dimensions, intended use, architectural expectations, ground conditions and technical infrastructure needs are evaluated together.

At this stage the pool's form, system, depth, plant-room position, filtration needs and construction method are clarified. The goal is a pool project that is buildable on site, long-lasting and predictable in budget.

  • Site dimensions and project goal
  • Pool type and intended use
  • Ground and site conditions
  • Plant-room layout
  • Filtration system requirements
  • Architectural and technical fit
  • Preliminary budget assessment
  • Construction roadmap

Why it matters

In pools that start without proper engineering, errors in dimensions, system, capacity or infrastructure can lead to serious costs later on.

Pool Models & System Selection
1–2 daysChoosing the Right Pool Model

Every pool model offers different advantages depending on intended use and site conditions. For a villa, hotel, residential complex or commercial use, choosing the right model is a critical decision for both aesthetics and operating performance.

At this stage skimmer, overflow, infinity, prefabricated or custom-design pool options are evaluated. The Çilek Havuz technical team pins down the most suitable model for your project in technical and budget terms.

  • Villa pool options
  • Hotel and commercial pools
  • Skimmer system analysis
  • Overflow system analysis
  • Infinity pool selection
  • Prefabricated pool alternative
  • Usage capacity calculation
  • Model selection to fit the budget

The right model makes the difference

The pool model determines not just the look, but maintenance cost, energy consumption, comfort of use and long-term operating performance.

Skimmer & Overflow Pool Systems
1–2 daysSystem Comparison and Technical Choice

Skimmer and overflow pool systems work on different principles for water circulation and surface cleaning. The right system should be chosen according to the pool's intended use, budget, architectural expectations and technical infrastructure.

Skimmer systems offer more economical and compact solutions, while overflow systems provide a more premium look and stronger surface circulation. Çilek Havuz evaluates both systems technically against the needs of the project.

  • Advantages of skimmer systems
  • Advantages of overflow systems
  • Balance tank requirements
  • Surface circulation analysis
  • Plant-room requirements
  • Cost comparison
  • Ease-of-maintenance assessment
  • System selection for the project

System choice is critical

A wrongly chosen pool system can cause long-term problems in cost, maintenance, water balance and comfort of use.

Pool Structural Construction
Varies by projectExcavation, Rebar and Reinforced Concrete

A long-lasting pool starts with the structural work done right. Excavation, ground preparation, steel reinforcement, formwork and the reinforced-concrete stage must be planned to engineering detail.

At this stage the load-bearing capacity of the pool shell, water pressure, ground conditions and waterproofing details are evaluated together. Çilek Havuz manages the structural phase in line with the technical design and site conditions.

  • Excavation and level preparation
  • Ground improvement needs
  • Steel reinforcement work
  • Formwork and concrete casting
  • Wall-to-floor joints
  • Waterproofing preparation
  • Pipe penetration details
  • Concrete quality control

The foundation must be solid

A mistake in the pool's structural work can lead to cracking, water leaks, settlement and finishing problems.

Pool Electromechanical Installation
Varies by projectFiltration, Circulation and Technical Systems

A healthy pool depends on properly planned electromechanical installations. Pumps, filters, piping, lighting, control panels, dosing and automation systems directly determine the pool's performance.

At this stage the pool volume, usage intensity, circulation time and equipment capacities are calculated technically. The goal is a pool system that runs clean, balanced, safe and efficient.

  • Pump capacity selection
  • Filter system sizing
  • Piping routes
  • Electrical panel layout
  • Lighting infrastructure
  • Chemical dosing system
  • Automation options
  • Energy-efficiency check

Performance is decided here

A wrongly sized pump, filter or pipe diameter directly affects water quality, energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Pool Finishing & Cladding
Varies by projectWaterproofing, Cladding and Aesthetic Completion

Once the structural work is complete, the pool's waterproofing, cladding and surrounding details are applied. This stage determines both the pool's aesthetics and its long-term quality of use.

Ceramic, mosaic, porcelain, natural stone, decking and grouting details are selected to match the project concept. Çilek Havuz runs this stage to technical standards, from material selection to application detail.

  • Waterproofing application
  • Cladding material selection
  • Ceramic and mosaic details
  • Grouting quality control
  • Coping stone planning
  • Deck and surround cladding
  • Step cladding details
  • Aesthetic finish check

Detail reveals quality

Cladding and waterproofing mistakes can cause water leaks, grout failure, surface deformation and aesthetic loss.

Pool Testing & Commissioning
1–3 daysSystem Checks and Handover Preparation

Once the pool is complete, all mechanical, electrical and water systems are tested. Filtration, circulation, lighting, leak checks, chemical balance and equipment performance are assessed one by one.

Commissioning ensures the pool enters service safely and healthily. The Çilek Havuz technical team checks the system and provides the briefing you need for daily use.

  • Water filling check
  • Leak testing
  • Pump operation check
  • Filter system test
  • Lighting check
  • Chemical balance adjustment
  • Automation check
  • User briefing

Checks are essential before handover

Pools used without commissioning can develop problems in water quality, equipment performance and safety.

Pool Maintenance & Long Service Life
PeriodicMaintenance, Checks and Performance Tracking

Regular maintenance is essential for a pool to run trouble-free for many years. Water balance, filter cleaning, pump checks, chemical measurements and surface care must be carried out at set intervals.

During maintenance Çilek Havuz checks not just cleanliness but also system performance, equipment health and water quality — so the pool keeps running both safely and economically.

  • Water chemistry check
  • Filter cleaning
  • Pump performance check
  • Surface and floor cleaning
  • Grout and cladding check
  • Lighting check
  • Equipment maintenance tracking
  • Seasonal maintenance plan

Maintenance protects your investment

In pools without regular maintenance, water quality degrades, equipment life shortens and repair costs rise.

Pool Dimensions & Usage Capacity
1 daySizing, Depth and Capacity Planning

Pool dimensions should be set not only by the size of the site but by intended use and bather capacity. Sizing and depth criteria differ for villa pools, residential complexes, hotel pools and commercial pools.

At this stage the pool's length, width, depth, step area, shallow zone, seating area and user density are evaluated together. The goal is a pool planned for comfort, safety and the right capacity.

  • Pool length and width
  • Depth planning
  • Bather capacity
  • Shallow area needs
  • Step placement
  • Seating area plan
  • Assessment for children's use
  • Filtration capacity calculation

Sizing must be right

Incorrect sizing directly affects comfort of use, filtration performance and operating costs.

Pool Cost & Budget Planning
1–2 daysPreliminary Costing and Budget Control

Pool cost varies with many items: dimensions, system type, reinforced-concrete structure, cladding, mechanical installations, lighting and landscaping. That is why sound budget planning is one of the most important stages of the project.

Çilek Havuz clarifies the requirements before the project starts and builds a workable cost frame — so design, technical system and budget move on the same line.

  • Cost by pool dimensions
  • Skimmer / overflow price difference
  • Reinforced-concrete structure cost
  • Cladding and material selection
  • Mechanical installation budget
  • Lighting and automation
  • Landscaping items
  • Preliminary budget planning

The budget must be clear from the start

In projects that begin without proper cost analysis, extra work discovered later can seriously inflate the total investment budget.

The Health Benefits of Swimming
Lasting benefitHealthy Living and Comfortable Use

Swimming is one of the healthiest activities, working the body in a balanced way. It contributes to muscle development, breathing capacity, joint health and posture for adults and children alike.

Regular swimming increases physical activity while supporting mental relaxation and stress control. A well-designed pool is therefore not just an architectural asset but a special space that raises quality of life.

  • Supports muscle development
  • Increases breathing capacity
  • Puts low load on joints
  • Contributes to healthy posture
  • Supports heart rhythm
  • Reduces stress levels
  • Aids children's development
  • Raises quality of life

A pool is a living space

A well-designed pool creates long-term value for sport, rest, family time and healthy living.

A turnkey pool is generally completed in 6–12 weeks, depending on its size and the chosen system. After the survey and design stage, the Çilek Havuz Technical Team runs excavation, reinforced concrete, waterproofing, finishing and mechanical installation on a single schedule and keeps to the handover date it promises.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

Pool cost varies with size and depth, system type (skimmer or overflow), the reinforced-concrete structure, the finishing material (ceramic, mosaic, natural stone), mechanical equipment and landscaping. Before the project starts, the Çilek Havuz Technical Team clarifies every line item and gives you a workable cost framework — so no cost appears as a surprise later.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

A skimmer system is the more economical and compact solution; an overflow (deck-level) system gives a premium look and stronger surface circulation, but is only built in reinforced concrete with a balance tank. The Çilek Havuz Technical Team recommends the right system for your intended use, your budget and your architectural expectations.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

Built with sound engineering and waterproofing, a reinforced-concrete pool is used safely for decades. Çilek Havuz gives a written warranty for structural workmanship and the equipment it installs, and provides maintenance and technical support after handover to keep the pool long-lived.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

Yes. We are the only company to have built Türkiye's deepest training (diving) pool — 10 metres deep with a 3,600 m³ water volume, for the Ministry of National Defence SAS Training Centre. We manage pressure, waterproofing and safety engineering at that scale end to end; we build pools to any special depth you need in villas and large projects alike.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

Planning and permit requirements vary with the pool's location, its size and the status of the plot. During the preliminary survey the Çilek Havuz Technical Team assesses the planning situation with you and guides you through any required consent process.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

For villa gardens, areas from around 20 m² upwards are generally suitable; the final size is planned around your intended use and the number of people. During the survey the Çilek Havuz Technical Team measures the slope, the ground's load capacity and the plant-room requirement to work out the most efficient layout.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

In a properly built pool, maintenance is simple: water balance, filter cleaning and equipment checks are carried out periodically. Çilek Havuz reduces the maintenance load to a minimum with automation and dosing systems, and offers a periodic maintenance service on request.

Çilek Havuz Technical Team

Since 1993, Çilek Havuz has delivered turnkey pools for villa, hotel, residential-complex and commercial projects across Türkiye, and also exports to 14 countries with international project experience. A free site survey can be scheduled for your province.
