Because every town sets its own rules, and Palm Beach and Broward County together have thirty six municipalities. Epic's page says a pool permit in Parkland isn't a pool permit in Gulf Stream, which is why pool construction looks different from one address to the next.

Epic builds in both counties and says it prices the differences before you sign, not after. Here are the local factors the page calls out, from who reviews your plans to how a rig gets into your yard.

Who actually reviews your plans?

Some towns review building plans in house, and others hand them to an outside firm. The outside route adds a step and extra time, which the page says most contractors only discover after they submit. Epic says it researched all thirty six municipalities and tells you which one you're in at the survey.

Then comes the paperwork itself. Epic prepares the engineering and permit drawings, submits them to the municipality, and assembles the package for any HOA or club review. The homeowner isn't the one chasing a plan reviewer.

What do HOAs and clubs change?

Country clubs and gated communities in both counties run their own architectural review on top of the city's. The page says that approval sits on the critical path, so Epic builds it into the schedule rather than treating it as a surprise.

The timeline shows why that matters. Design, engineering, HOA or club approval and municipal permitting take 4 to 12 weeks, and the approval window varies most, by town. Epic tells you which window applies at the site visit.

What changes near the coast?

Salt air, wind exposure and tight lot access change what equipment, finish and hardware will last. The page says the right specification on the coast isn't the right one inland, and Epic quotes them differently. That's the kind of detail a generic online price can't capture.

Epic's service list includes coastal towns such as Palm Beach, Gulf Stream, Highland Beach and Jupiter Island. For pool construction in places like those, ask what equipment and finish Epic would specify, and why. The answer says a lot about how well the company knows the local conditions.

Why does yard access change the price?

Whether a rig can reach your yard, and what has to come out and go back, moves the number more than most design choices. A narrow gate or a tight side yard can matter more than the shape you pick.

That's why the first visit measures four things: the lot, the access, the setbacks and the equipment run. Epic says those four move the price, and that's why the 72 hour number holds. A phone quote can't see a gate.

What does the schedule look like once approvals clear?

Construction runs 8 to 12 weeks once approvals clear. Epic builds gunite pools engineered for the water table, soil and wind code of the place you build in, and the same company permits, digs, finishes and inspects. One reviewer on the page described a Boca Raton pool finished in 6 weeks from dig to completion, which is one customer's account.

So a full timeline is two parts: approvals, which swing by town, and the build, which holds a steadier range. Plan around the first part, because that's where two neighbours in different towns can end up with very different start dates.

What else can the same team build?

Spas, sun shelves, water features, deck and coping are part of the new pool scope. Epic also lists pergolas, outdoor kitchens, cocktail pools and spas, pool heaters and pool fences, and a 3D pool and backyard design service.

Recent projects show the range: a geometric Parkland pool with a raised spa, a Wellington lap pool with a travertine deck, and a freeform Jupiter pool with a round spa and pergola. Three towns, three sets of rules.

Who is accountable after the build?

Epic holds the licence, CPC1460900, and carries the engineering, permit, shell, finish and warranty under one contract. There's no general contractor between you and the crew. If a tile lifts in year two, the page says, there's no one else for Epic to blame.

Credentials listed include BBB A+ accreditation, full insurance, an Elite Builder badge from Pebble Technology International, and Sun Sentinel South Florida Favorites wins for 2026. The page also counts 125 five star reviews out of 126.

What do customers say about the process?

Two reviewers on the page talk about the process itself. A second home owner in Boca Raton praised the communication and project management, and a Jupiter owner called working with the designer seamless. These are customer opinions, not guarantees.

Reviews are spread across Google, Thumbtack and Angi, and one Jupiter reviewer says they've already recommended Epic to several neighbours. Since local rules vary so much, reviews from your own town are the most useful ones to read.

How does Epic show you the pool before you build?

Epic's 3D design shows your pool before anything is dug, and the page says it's free and yours to keep whether or not you build with them. There's also a standalone 3D pool and backyard design service in the menu for people who want to plan the whole yard.

The form asks for a budget band: $60,000 to $100,000, $100,000 to $180,000, $180,000 to $250,000, or $250,000 and up, plus an option for people who need guidance. It also says no deposit and no obligation. Pick the honest band, since the itemised price will sort out the rest.

What if you only want to refresh an older pool?

Many owners start with a search for pool remodeling near me, and Epic answers it under remodeling and resurfacing, covering new plaster and finish, tile and coping, equipment, structural repair or a full redesign. The page says a project like that starts around $20,000, and an aging pool gets more expensive every season it waits.

If you've been scrolling pool remodeling near me results and still feel unsure, the form's service choice lets you pick new pool construction, remodeling, resurfacing or not sure yet. For finish options, the PebbleTec page is a good first stop.

So what should you take from this?

Rules, reviewers, coastal conditions and yard access all shift from town to town, so a price from a different address won't tell you much. Epic's answer is to survey first and quote after, with a 3D design and itemised price in 72 hours. Whether it's pool construction or pool remodeling near me, ask which town's rules apply.
