Building an Accessible Pool Outbuilding

Building an Accessible Pool Outbuilding for an Elderly Couple | RDLG Joinery & Renovations Ltd

At RDLG Joinery & Renovations Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality construction projects that meet our clients’ unique needs. One of our recent projects was particularly fulfilling – building an insulated outbuilding for a swimming pool for an elderly couple. This project required us to focus on accessibility and comfort, ensuring the clients could fully enjoy their new space. Here’s a detailed account of the project, highlighting the steps we took to ensure a successful outcome.

Initial Planning and Design

The project began with a thorough consultation to understand the couple’s requirements. They wanted an insulated outbuilding for their swimming pool and an accessible ramp for the lady who uses a walker. Additionally, a retaining wall was needed to enhance the landscape, and the garden required restoration. To ensure the design met all their needs, we consulted an architect and provided all the plans for the couple to review before starting the work.

Constructing the Outbuilding

The construction of the insulated outbuilding was our primary task. We used high-quality materials to ensure durability and energy efficiency. The outbuilding featured a sliding door for easy access and ventilation. Throughout the construction, we maintained open communication with the clients, making adjustments as needed to accommodate their preferences.

Building the Accessible Ramp

Accessibility was a critical aspect of this project. We built a sturdy ramp to allow the lady to access the pool area easily. The ramp was designed with gentle slopes and handrails to ensure safety and convenience.

Constructing the Retaining Wall

To complement the outbuilding, we constructed a retaining wall using wooden sleepers. This wall not only added to the aesthetic appeal of the garden but also provided necessary support to the landscape. The use of wooden sleepers gave a natural and rustic look, blending seamlessly with the garden.

Garden Restoration

Restoring the garden to its original condition was another important task. We took great care to ensure that the garden looked perfect upon completion. This involved replanting, landscaping, and ensuring the garden’s overall appearance was pristine.

Collaboration with Subcontractors

For specialized tasks, we collaborated with a subcontractor who installed a hoist for the lady. This hoist allowed her to get into the pool safely and comfortably. Working closely with the subcontractor ensured that the installation was done seamlessly and met all safety standards.

Customer Collaboration and Satisfaction

During the project, the clients changed their minds a few times about certain aspects. We worked diligently with them to find suitable solutions, adjusting our plans and designs as needed. This flexibility and dedication to customer satisfaction were key to the project’s success. In the end, the couple was very happy with the results, which made all our efforts worthwhile.

Conclusion

This project was a testament to our commitment to quality, accessibility, and customer satisfaction. At RDLG Joinery & Renovations Ltd, we understand the importance of creating spaces that are not only functional but also enhance the lives of those who use them. We are proud of the work we did for this elderly couple and look forward to more such rewarding projects in the future.
