Own your own drawings
Plans in your name mean you can bid the job to more than one builder and keep the design if a contractor relationship goes sideways.

Pool Permit Plans & CAD Drawings, sheet by sheet
A plan set gets rejected for boring reasons: a missing dimension, an elevation that doesn't tie to the site plan, a barrier detail nobody drew. PermitPool sets are drawn by someone who has stood on the other end of them — 25 years building pools before ever drafting one — so the sheet a reviewer opens answers the question before they ask it.

Inside The Set
Every sheet a reviewer asks for, and a crew builds from
Scope drives the page count, but a complete residential pool set generally carries all of the following.
- Cover sheet and index — project data, scope summary, code references and a sheet list, so nothing gets lost in intake
- Survey and home overlay — your pool placed on the real property boundary with setbacks, easements and utilities shown
- Site and build plan — the dimensioned working drawing: shape, depths, benches, sun shelf, steps and deck layout
- Elevations and sections — raised walls, spa spillways, grade changes and retaining conditions drawn to scale
- Water-feature details — sheer descents, scuppers, deck jets and grottos with their plumbing and structural callouts
- Fire-feature and hardscape sheets — fire pits, seating walls, coping profiles and paving patterns
- Outdoor kitchen sheets — counters, appliance placement, utility stubs and materials
- Equipment layout and notes — pad location, plumbing runs, electrical and bonding, with construction notes
Why Sets Get Bounced
Most rejections are drafting problems, not design problems
A pool gets kicked back because the setback wasn't dimensioned off the actual property line, because the barrier and gate hardware detail was missing, because the equipment pad landed in an easement, or because the elevation and the site plan disagree by four inches.
None of that is about whether the pool is a good pool. It's about whether the drawing answers the question. Twenty-five years of watching sets come back means those answers are already on the page when it goes in.
From Plans to Built
Watch a PermitPool set become a finished pool
The proof that a set is buildable isn't the drawing — it's the pool.
The film follows the same Dallas-area project shown in the plan sheets on this page: layout and excavation off the site plan, steel and plumbing set to the build drawing, gunite shot to the dimensioned shell, then coping, tile, decking and the water and fire features detailed on their own sheets. The finished pool matches the drawings sheet for sheet — which is the entire point of paying for a real plan set instead of a sketch.
Who Orders A Set
Homeowners, builders, and the reviewer in between
Draft overflow, handled
Contractors who'd rather build than draft send the layout and get back a submittal-ready set, without carrying a drafter on payroll.
The pool sheet in a bigger set
On a whole-backyard or new-build project, the pool package drops into your existing construction documents without a coordination fight.
