Designing for Brevard County: Local Expertise Matters
Building in Brevard County presents specific environmental considerations. From the salt-rich air of Cocoa Beach to the specific permitting requirements of the Space Coast’s various municipalities, you need a builder who understands the local terrain.
Coastal-Ready Engineering
The salt air can be brutal on inferior materials. At Southern Pool Designs, we use marine-grade components and high-quality finishes designed to withstand the Florida elements. We ensure your pool remains as pristine as the day it was filled, regardless of how close you are to the Atlantic.

Our Proven 3-Step Process
We understand that building a luxury pool is a significant investment. That’s why we’ve refined a process that prioritizes transparency and communication.
Step 1: The Welcome Call and Free Consultation
We start by listening. We discuss your vision, your budget, and your timeline to ensure we are the right fit for your project.
Step 2: On-Site Design and 3D Rendering
Our team uses advanced laser scanning technology to map your property. We then create a high-definition 3D rendering, allowing you to walk through your new backyard before a single shovel hits the ground.
Step 3: Precision Construction
While other builders might “set it and forget it,” we provide dedicated project managers who send regular photo updates and milestones. You are never left wondering about the status of your build.

Frequently Asked Questions for Brevard County Homeowners
How long does the construction process take?
While every custom project is unique, a luxury gunite pool typically takes between 4 to 6 months from permitting to the final walkthrough. We prioritize quality over speed to ensure your pool lasts a lifetime.
Do you handle the permitting for Brevard County?
Yes. We manage the entire administrative process, including permits for Melbourne, Palm Bay, and the various coastal municipalities, as well as coordinating with your HOA.
Is a salt-water pool better for the Florida climate?
Salt-water systems are very popular in Brevard County because they are gentler on the skin and eyes. However, we offer various sanitation options, including UV and ozone systems, to suit your preferences.
Can you build a pool if my property is on the Indian River or Banana River?
Absolutely. Waterfront properties are our specialty. However, building along the Intracoastal Waterway requires strict adherence to environmental setbacks and drainage regulations. We coordinate directly with local Brevard County municipalities and environmental agencies to ensure your infinity-edge pool or custom deck meets all shoreline protection codes while maximizing your stunning water views.
What are the pool safety and hurricane requirements in Brevard County?
Florida law (the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act) requires all new pools to have at least one approved safety feature, such as a removable child safety fence, an ASTM-certified safety cover, or exit alarms on all doors leading to the pool.
In Brevard County, we also design with “Hurricane-Ready” engineering. Because we are in a high-wind zone, any screen enclosures we build must meet strict Florida Building Code wind-load requirements (often up to 150–160 mph). We also advise our coastal clients to never drain their pools before a storm; keeping the water at its normal level provides the necessary weight to counteract the high groundwater pressure (hydrostatic pressure) found in our sandy, coastal soil, preventing the pool shell from “popping” out of the ground.
