Need a reliable team of swimming pool builders in Sam Miguel De Salinas? Get in touch with Build Works today and let us help you create the perfect swimming pool.
We offer comprehensive services, superior craftsmanship and quality materials.
You came to the Costa Blanca for the climate. A pool is how you actually live in it. Long mornings in the water, friends over without a plan, kids who won’t come inside, and a villa that finally feels like the one in the brochure. Built right, it’s the single feature that changes how the whole property feels, and one of the few that adds real value the day it’s finished.
Built wrong, it’s the most expensive thing on your property to put right. A pool is one of the only projects where the work that matters most is buried where you’ll never see it — the excavation, the steel, the waterproofing, the pipework. Cut a corner there and it won’t show on handover day. It shows up two summers later: a leak you can’t trace, a cracked shell, water that won’t stay clear no matter what you pour in. And that’s before the paperwork — a pool built without the right licence can stall your sale or, at worst, face a demolition order.
Build Works builds pools the way they’re supposed to be built , properly, in the right order, by one team that owns every stage from the first drawing to the final brush of the terrace. We design it, we get it licensed, we build it, and we stand behind it. One company to call. One fixed price. A pool that’s as sound under the surface as it looks above it.
Swimming pools are the perfect addition to any backyard, and with the help of Build Works, you can get the perfect pool for your home. Our team of professional builders has years of experience in pool construction, to design and build the swimming pool of your dreams.
We offer a range of services to make sure that your swimming pool is constructed to the highest standards, from pouring the foundation to installing necessary filtration systems.

The Real Cost of Getting a Pool Wrong
Most of the price difference between a cheap pool Sam Miguel De Salinas and a proper one is invisible on the day it’s handed over. Here’s where it surfaces later.
A pool built on poor ground preparation or weak structure often can’t just be patched. Cracks in the shell, a failed waterproofing layer, or settlement under the base usually mean excavating the whole thing and rebuilding from scratch — paying twice for the same pool, plus ripping out the terrace and landscaping that went around it.
Get the hydraulics, filtration or sizing wrong and the pool fights you for the rest of its life. Water that’s hard to keep clear burns through chemicals. An undersized or badly plumbed system runs longer and costs more in electricity. And a small leak can quietly add to your water bill for years before anyone finds it.
A pool built without the right licence isn’t just a paper problem. The Valencia region now uses satellite and Catastro checks to find unregistered pools, and an illegal one can mean fines, forced rectification, a stalled sale at the notary, or — at worst — an order to remove it entirely.
Doing it right once is almost always cheaper than doing it twice. That’s the whole reason Build Works keeps every stage in-house — so nothing is left to a subcontractor who won’t be around when the problem shows up.
Collaborating with experienced designers, builders help bring your vision to life. They assess your space, lifestyle, and preferences to create a custom pool design.
Pool builders guide you through material options such as concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl. They provide insights into the pros and cons of each material, helping you make an informed choice.
Builders manage the entire construction process, coordinating various trades and ensuring timely progress. They oversee excavation, construction, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches.
Pool builders maintain a high standard of workmanship to ensure the pool's structural integrity and longevity. They adhere to safety codes and regulations, ensuring a safe and enjoyable swimming environment.
Why Owners Trust Build Works to Build Their Pool
Six reasons people across the Costa Blanca choose us over a cheaper quote.
The parts that decide a pool's lifespan are the ones you never see. We get the excavation, steel, structure and waterproofing right the first time — so your pool stays watertight and crack-free long after the cheaper builds have started to leak.
We don't hand the dig to one firm, the tiling to another, and vanish in between. The same in-house team designs, builds, plumbs, tiles and finishes your pool — one standard, one point of contact, and no one passing the blame.
We prepare the project, handle the architect and town-hall licence, deal with community approval where it's needed, and register the finished pool properly. You never touch the bureaucracy, and you never lie awake wondering whether it's legal.
The figure we quote is the figure you pay. Staged payments, a guaranteed delivery date, and no "unexpected" extras appearing halfway down the hole. You know exactly what your pool costs before we break ground.
No two gardens on the Costa Blanca are the same, and neither are our pools. We design to your space, your view, your family and how you'll actually use it — a full family pool, a lap pool, an infinity edge, or a compact plunge pool.
A well-built, fully legal pool is one of the first things buyers and holiday renters look for in this climate. It lifts your resale price, sharpens your rental photos, and pushes occupancy through the season — it earns its cost back, not just sits there.
A pool is a long-term decision. Here’s what actually matters when you’re choosing yours — and where we’ll guide you.
This is the big one. Concrete (gunite) can be built to any shape or size and lasts the longest, which is why it suits bespoke designs and infinity edges. Fibreglass goes in faster as a pre-formed shell with a smooth, low-maintenance surface. Prefabricated panel pools are the budget-friendly route for standard shapes. We walk you through the trade-offs honestly and recommend what fits your plot and your plans — not whatever's easiest for us to build.
Bigger isn't always better. The right size depends on how you'll use the pool, how much terrace and garden you want around it, the running costs, and the rules on your specific plot, including boundary distances and, near the coast, setback limits. We design to make the most of your space and your sun, and flag anything the licence will require before you fall for a layout that won't get approved.
The finish is what you see and feel every day, and it sets the mood of the whole pool. Tiled finishes give that crisp, premium Mediterranean look and a huge range of colours; rendered and aggregate finishes feel softer and more natural. Coping, waterline tiles and interior colour all change how the water reads in the light. We show you the options — and how each one looks once the pool is full, not just on a sample board.
How your pool is filtered and treated decides how much time and money it costs you once it's built in Sam Miguel De Salinas. Saltwater chlorination is gentler on skin and eyes and easier to live with than traditional chlorine dosing. A correctly sized pump and filter keeps the water clear on less running time and lower bills. We size and specify the system around your pool — not a one-size box that's cheaper to fit.
There are no shortcuts in a pool that’s built to last. Here’s exactly what we do, in the order it has to happen — and why each stage matters.
We come to your property, read the ground, the access, the sun and the views, and talk through how you actually want to use the pool. Then we design it to your plot and give you a clear, fixed, no-obligation price. You see the plan and the number before you commit to anything.
Before a single machine turns up, we prepare the project, instruct the architect where the works require one, and submit everything to your town hall, plus community approval if you’re on an urbanisation. This is the stage that catches owners who try to go it alone. We handle all of it, so your pool is legal from the ground up.
We excavate to the right depth and shape, then build the structure properly — steel reinforcement and a shell engineered for the ground it sits in. This is where a pool is made or broken. It disappears the moment the water goes in, which is exactly why it’s the first place a cheap build cuts corners. We don’t.
We waterproof the shell, run the pipework, and fit a filtration and circulation system sized for your pool. Get this right and the water stays clear on less running time and lower bills for the life of the pool. Get it wrong and you fight the water forever — so we take the time to do it once.
We lay your chosen finish, tiling or render, set the coping and waterline detail, and install the lighting. This is the part you see every day, and we finish it to the standard the rest of the build deserves: clean lines, level coping, no rushed edges.
We finish the space around the pool, terrace, walls, artificial grass, landscaping, then fill and commission the pool, balance the water, and walk you through everything before we leave. All our waste goes with us. You’re left with a finished pool and a clean property, ready to use.
We're a Construction Company That Builds Pools | Not a Pool Outfit That Disappears
Six reasons people across the Costa Blanca choose us over a cheaper quote.
The Costa Blanca is full of people who’ll build you a pool. The hard part is finding one who’s still answering the phone two summers later when you’ve got a question, or a crack. Pool work attracts quick operators who subcontract the difficult stages, take the deposit, and move on. When something goes wrong with the structure, the waterproofing or the paperwork, they’re long gone and it’s your problem.
Build Works is a full construction and reform company that’s been working across the Costa Blanca for years — extensions, refurbishments, patios, pools, and the outdoor spaces around them. That breadth matters more than it sounds. A pool isn’t a hole and a liner; it’s groundwork, structure, drainage, plumbing and finishing — and we do all of those every week, on projects far bigger than a pool. We understand the ground your pool sits in because we build on it.
It’s also why we can stand behind the work. The team is in-house, we’re not going anywhere, and the Build Works guarantee is backed by a company you can actually find next year.
Swimming Pool Builders | Your Questions Answered
Yes — in Spain you need a licence to build a pool, whatever its size. An in-ground concrete pool counts as major works (obra mayor) and legally needs an architect’s project submitted to your town hall, and if you’re on an urbanisation you’ll usually need the community’s approval too. The exact requirements vary from one town hall to the next. You don’t need to work any of this out yourself — we prepare the project, deal with the town hall, and confirm exactly what your property needs before anything starts.
Often, yes. Plenty of older Costa Blanca pools were built without full paperwork, and the Valencia region now uses satellite and Catastro checks to find them — so it’s worth sorting before you come to sell. We can assess an existing pool, advise on whether it can be legalised and registered, and handle the process. Come to us before a problem at the notary forces your hand.
It depends on the type and size of the pool and how quickly the licence comes through, since the town hall stage isn’t fully in anyone’s control. What we can promise is a guaranteed completion date in your quote once the design and permissions are confirmed — not an open-ended “we’ll see.”
There’s no single best, only the best for your plot and your plans. Concrete (gunite) can go anywhere and lasts the longest, so it suits bespoke shapes and infinity edges. Fibreglass installs faster with a smooth, low-maintenance surface. Prefab panel pools are the budget route for standard shapes. We’ll talk you through the trade-offs honestly on a free survey and recommend the right one for you.
Honestly, anyone who quotes a firm price before seeing your plot is guessing. Cost depends on the size, type, finish and access, and on the groundwork your specific site needs. What we will give you — after a free site visit — is a fixed price you can rely on, with staged payments and no surprises later. The quote is the price you pay.
Saltwater chlorination is the popular choice now — gentler on skin and eyes, and easier to live with day to day. Either way, a properly sized filtration system does most of the work, so a well-built pool needs far less hands-on attention than people expect. We size and specify the system so your pool is easy to run, not a chore.
Yes. A compact plunge pool can transform a courtyard or a tight villa garden in , and we design around slopes, access problems and odd shapes all the time. Bring us the space you’ve got and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible on it — including anything the licence will require for your plot.
Get in touch with the Build Works team today for a free no-obligation site visit and quote. We’ll assess your space, recommend the right turf, and give you an honest transparent price. No hidden charges. No pressure. Just straight talking from a team that knows the Costa Blanca inside out.
