Swimming pool construction<\/strong> is not just excavation and concreting the shell \u2014 it is a procedure that includes preparation of documentation, excavation, reinforced concrete structure, waterproofing, cladding, machine room with filtration, and water and electricity connections. For a family pool with a floor area of up to 100 m\u00b2 buried in the ground, a building permit is not required, but the main design and application for the start of construction are. Construction typically takes 6 to 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

This guide is written from the perspective of a team with 16 years of experience in the field, covering the territory from Makarska to Zadar through 800 to 1,000 completed projects. We go through what investors are interested in before the first contract: what paperwork is mandatory according to the regulations in force from January 1, 2026.<\/strong>, what type of pool makes sense for your lot, how long it takes to build, how much it costs \u2014 and how much it costs each year after<\/em> construction. Special emphasis is placed on what is different in Dalmatia, because this is where budgets and deadlines are most often missed.<\/p>\n

\n\"Scheme:
Three cases from the Regulations on Simple and Other Buildings and Works. Almost every family pool falls into one of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do I need a building permit for a swimming pool?<\/h2>\n

For the majority of family pools in Croatia building permit not required<\/strong>The Regulation on Simple and Other Buildings and Works distinguishes between two regimes: a shallow garden pool can be built without documentation, while an in-ground pool up to 100 m\u00b2 can be built without a permit, but in accordance with the main project<\/strong> and with mandatory notification of the start of construction. These two legal bases are often confused.<\/p>\n

Garden pool up to 1 m deep \u2014 without a permit and without a master plan<\/h3>\n

According to article 3, point 4 of the Ordinance<\/a>, without a building permit and without a main project, works can be carried out on the development of a building plot of an existing building, including the construction of "garden pool or pond up to 1 m deep from the surrounding ground level"<\/em>. Limitation depths up to 1 m<\/strong> refers exclusively to this category \u2014 shallow decorative pools and smaller water areas as part of garden landscaping.<\/p>\n

A pool of up to 100 m\u00b2 buried in the ground \u2014 without a permit, but with the main project<\/h3>\n

This is where almost every family pool comes in. Article 4, point 1. c) of the Regulations<\/strong> stipulates that without a building permit, and in accordance with the main project<\/em>, an auxiliary building may be built on the building plot of an existing building, for the needs of that building, and "a swimming pool with a floor area of up to 100 m\u00b2 buried in the ground"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The three conditions are cumulative<\/strong> \u2014 all three must be met simultaneously:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Floor area up to 100 m\u00b2.<\/strong> The floor plan is measured, not the circumference.<\/li>\n
  2. The pool must be buried in the ground.<\/strong> Above-ground and prefabricated versions are not included in this point.<\/li>\n
  3. It must be located on the building plot of an existing building and serve the needs of that building.<\/strong> If there is no existing building on the plot, this foundation is not valid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There is also a related provision, Article 4, point 20.<\/strong>, which treats in the same way "a swimming pool with a floor area of up to 100 m\u00b2 buried in the ground within a building plot or within the scope of the intervention in the camp area"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Practically: all the dimensions that are most often built are comfortably below the threshold. A 6 \u00d7 3 m pool has 18 m\u00b2 of floor space, a 7 \u00d7 3.5 m has 24.5 m\u00b2, the most popular 8 \u00d7 4 m has 32 m\u00b2, a 10 \u00d7 5 m has 50 m\u00b2, and even a large 12 \u00d7 6 m has 72 m\u00b2 \u2014 still under 100 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Key:<\/strong> "without a building permit" does not mean "without a project". For a swimming pool up to 100 m\u00b2 in-ground, a main project is mandatory because the Ordinance explicitly requires construction in accordance with the main project<\/em>The main design is prepared by a certified designer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Registration of the start of construction is mandatory<\/h3>\n

    Article 6, paragraph 3 of the Regulations<\/strong> prescribes: "The investor is obliged to report the start of construction of buildings referred to in Article 4 of this Ordinance."<\/em> Since a pool of up to 100 m\u00b2 buried in the ground falls under Article 4, Registration of the start of construction is mandatory for him.<\/strong>. This is a step that investors often skip because they have only heard the first part of the story \u2014 "a swimming pool does not require a permit."<\/p>\n

    On the other hand, confirmations from public authorities in the main project and expert supervision are required according to Article 6, paragraphs 1 and 4.<\/strong> only for buildings for which a use permit is issued \u2014 those intended for the performance of activities or those recorded in the cadastre.<\/p>\n

    The spatial plan overrides the Ordinance.<\/h3>\n

    This is the provision that thwarts the most projects, and is the one that is talked about the least. Article 1, paragraph 2 of the Regulations<\/strong> says that the buildings from the Regulations "they may not design, build or carry out work if this is prohibited by the spatial plan or otherwise contrary to the spatial plan"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    The Ordinance, therefore, exempts you from the building permit, but not from the spatial plan. The distance from the boundary, the permitted development of the plot and the design conditions are determined by the valid spatial plan of your municipality or city, not the Ordinance. The first call is not to the contractor, but to the administrative department for spatial planning of the competent local government unit.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Beware of outdated sources:<\/strong> of January 1, 2026<\/strong> new is in effect Construction Act (Official Gazette 155\/25)<\/a> and new Spatial Planning Act (Official Gazette 155\/25)<\/a>. The old Construction Act (Official Gazette 153\/13 and subsequent amendments) is no longer in force. Much of the pool text you'll find online still cites the old law \u2014 check the date before relying on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    The new Construction Act stipulates that the contractor must meet the conditions for carrying out construction activities and appoint construction site engineer and\/or construction manager<\/strong> who manages the construction and construction diary (Articles 21-23). Professional supervision is a general rule for buildings for which a building permit is issued (Art. 26, paragraph 1).<\/p>\n

    Another good news for private investors: Ordinance on sanitary, technical and hygienic conditions of swimming pools (Official Gazette 59\/2020)<\/a> in Article 2 it explicitly states that does not apply to swimming pools owned by citizens that are not intended for public use<\/strong>. Your family pool does not have the same obligations as public swimming pools. The limit values from this regulation (pH 6.5\u20137.8, free chlorine 0.2\u20131.0 mg\/l, turbidity up to 1.0 NTU, redox above 750 mV) are still a useful technical guide for water quality in private pools. Swimming pool water in public swimming pools is monitored by sanitary inspection of the State Inspectorate<\/a>Check the conditions for discharging pool water with the competent utility company (in Split, ViK Split).<\/p>\n

    What type of pool to choose?<\/h2>\n

    In Croatia, three technologies are realistically being chosen: concrete<\/strong> (reinforced concrete shell cast on site), polyester<\/strong> (finished shell that is delivered and lowered into the prepared excavation) and prefabricated<\/strong> (overhead structures made of metal, wood or panels). The difference is not only in the price but in how limited you are by the shape, depth and position of the pool.<\/p>\n

    Concrete pool<\/strong> There is no limit to the shape or depth. It is made to measure for the plot, it can have steps, a beach, a countercurrent, an overflow edge, integrated seats. We build exclusively concrete pools using classic concrete construction and this is the choice we recommend when the pool is part of the permanent decoration of the house. Disadvantage: it takes the longest and is the most expensive to start with.<\/p>\n

    Polyester pool<\/strong> is faster because the shell is ready. You are limited by the catalog of shapes, and \u2014 which is often crucial in Dalmatia \u2014 the shell has to physically reach the plot and be lowered by crane. On a narrow street in the old part of Trogir or on a plot with access through someone else's land, this can be impossible. Let's be honest: if you have a straight approach, a simple rectangular shape and want a pool quickly, polyester is a legitimate choice and concrete is not automatically "better".<\/p>\n

    Prefabricated pool<\/strong> is the cheapest entrance. It is not buried in the ground, so it does not fall into the category from Article 4. pt. 1. c) of the Ordinance and is treated differently. The solution is for temporary use and for budgets where an inground pool is not an option.<\/p>\n

    We have elaborated a detailed comparison of performances, advantages and disadvantages in separate texts: read built-in vs prefabricated pool \u2014 what to choose and why<\/a> and comparison of concrete, polyester and overflow pools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Skimmer or overflow pool?<\/h2>\n

    The difference is in the water level and the way the water goes to the filtration. With skimmer<\/strong> The pool level is a few centimeters below the edge, and the water enters through skimmers in the wall. At overflow<\/strong> The water is flush with the edge and overflows over the entire circumference (or one side) into the overflow channel, then into the compensation tank.<\/p>\n

    An overflow basin has better hydraulics because the surface layer of water \u2014 the one with the most impurities \u2014 is removed along the entire length of the edge, not just at two or three points. In return, it requires a compensation tank, a larger engine room, and more precisely designed elevations, which is why it is more expensive.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Our recommendation from the field:<\/strong> if the plot is on a hill and has an open view of the sea \u2014 go to overflow or infinity design<\/strong>. The effect of joining the water surface with the sea works only when the edge of the pool is in the water plane and when the pool is placed at a height from which the sea can be seen. If the plot is in an urban area, surrounded by neighboring buildings and walls, there is nothing to do with that effect \u2014 then it is skimmer<\/strong> A pool is a more rational choice, or one that overflows on all sides if you want a peaceful surface without a view as an argument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Infinity design is a subset of overflow: only the side facing the view overflows. We have built such pools in Trogir and Okrug Donji \u2014 where the elevation of the plot is good, the result justifies the difference in price. Where it is not, it does not.<\/p>\n

    \n\"Gantt
    The phases overlap \u2014 installations begin while the reinforced concrete shell is still maturing. That's why it takes 6 to 12 weeks in total, not the sum of all the phases.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    What are the stages of pool construction and how long do they last?<\/h2>\n

    The construction of a concrete pool here typically takes time 6 to 12 weeks<\/strong>, depending on size and complexity. The lower limit applies to a simple skimmer pool in earthen soil with good access; the upper limit applies to an overflow pool with a rock excavation, demanding lining and additional equipment. The range does not include the development of the main design and preparation of documentation before the start of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Phase<\/th>\nOrientation weeks<\/th>\nWhat exactly is being done?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    Preparation (before start)<\/td>\n\u2014 <\/td>\nChecking the spatial plan, main project, notification of the start of construction, contract and deadline<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    1. Excavation and site preparation<\/td>\n1.\u20132.<\/td>\nMarking, excavation, removal of material, buffer layer. In stone, this phase lasts the longest and deviates the most from the plan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    3. Installations and penetrations<\/td>\n4.\u20136.<\/td>\nPipework, skimmers or overflow channel, nozzles, underwater lighting, grounding, cable routing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    4. Engine room<\/td>\n5.\u20137.<\/td>\nFilter, pump, valves, automation, disinfection, heat pump if necessary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    5. Waterproofing and substrate preparation<\/td>\n6.\u20138.<\/td>\nLeveling, waterproofing system, watertightness check<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    6. Coating<\/td>\n7\u201310.<\/td>\nPVC film, ceramic or glass mosaic. The mosaic lasts the longest because it is handmade<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    7. Charging, commissioning, handover<\/td>\n9.\u201312.<\/td>\nWater filling, chemistry balancing, filtration trial run, user training, documentation and warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The phases overlap, so the sum of the individual spans is not the total duration. The order is firm: until the concrete has set, the lining does not go; until the lining is finished, the filling does not work.<\/p>\n

    When to book an appointment to have your pool ready for summer<\/h3>\n

    According to DHMZ climatological norms for the Split-Marjan station<\/a>, the average monthly air temperature in May is 19.2 \u00b0C, in June 23.4 \u00b0C, in July 26.2 \u00b0C. If you want the pool to be operational at the beginning of the season, construction must be completed by the end of May. With a duration of 6 to 12 weeks, this means start of work no later than March<\/strong> \u2014 and since the main project and the notification of the start of construction precede the works, the conversation with the contractor really belongs in autumn or early winter of the previous year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Quick win:<\/strong> Whoever sends the request in September gets to choose the date. Whoever sends it in April gets to wait. The construction season on the coast is short and dates are filled in advance \u2014 and the winter months are the best for excavation anyway because the terrain is not drained and the construction site does not interfere with the use of the yard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    How much does it cost to build a swimming pool?<\/h2>\n

    Concrete skimmer<\/strong> a swimming pool measuring 8 \u00d7 4 m is usually around 35.000 \u20ac<\/strong>. Overflow<\/strong> the same size version is about 30 % is more expensive<\/strong>. A realistic minimum budget with which to enter a concrete pool project is 50.000 \u20ac<\/strong>, because the pool itself also includes landscaping, a terrace, a fence, lighting and connections \u2014 and that is not in our scope. These are all indicative ranges, not a binding offer.<\/p>\n

    \n

    What Flusso doesn't do:<\/strong> me we do not do turnkey work<\/strong>. We carry out pool shell, pool technology and lining \u2014 not landscaping around the pool (paving, terraces, fences, garden lighting, horticulture). This is the work of other contractors and you have to account for their cost separately. When comparing quotes, first check where with each contractor stops<\/em> Scope of work \u2014 this is the most common cause of the difference between two offers that look comparable on paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Why the price per m\u00b2 is misleading<\/h3>\n

    The excavation, engine room, pipework and connections have a large fixed part that does not grow proportionally with the pool area. An 18 m\u00b2 pool needs the same water connection and engine room as a 32 m\u00b2 one. That is why the price per square meter decreases as the pool grows, and that is why with us The calculation is per project, not per m\u00b2.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Second reason: equipment is dimensioned by cubic meters of water<\/strong>, not by floor plan. A pool measuring 8 \u00d7 4 \u00d7 1.5 m has 48 m\u00b3, or 48,000 liters; the same floor plan with a smaller depth requires a second filter and a second pump. Two pools with identical floor plan areas can therefore have significantly different technical costs.<\/p>\n

    What is being built differently in Dalmatia?<\/h2>\n

    Four things change the design of a swimming pool on the Dalmatian coast compared to the continent: the soil is often rocky<\/strong>, The access to the construction site is narrow.<\/strong>, the air carries salt<\/strong> and storm is a construction and operational factor<\/strong>Each of them has a direct impact on the price, deadline, or choice of materials \u2014 and none of them are visible in the photo of the finished pool.<\/p>\n

    Excavation in stone<\/h3>\n

    Excavation in earthen soil is a predictable job. Excavation in hard rock is not: it requires different machinery, takes longer and produces material that must be removed. In offers, this item is most often stated as \u201caccording to the actual condition on the ground\u201d and is the most common reason why the final bill deviates from the estimate. Ask the contractor how excavation in rock is calculated ago<\/em> signatures, not after the first day of digging.<\/p>\n

    Access to the construction site<\/h3>\n

    The finished polyester shell must reach the plot and be lowered by crane. In old cores, on steep approaches and on plots accessed via someone else's land, this can be impossible. A concrete pool is more tolerant because the material is delivered in parts, but even then the access determines which machinery can reach the excavation. Checking access is the first thing we do when going out into the field.<\/p>\n

    Salt, climate and season<\/h3>\n

    Proximity to the sea means salt in the air and greater load on metal parts, lighting and cladding. This is an argument for quality components and for a coating that withstands UV and chemistry \u2014 in practice, we prefer glass mosaic, which has a longer life than foil, although it is more expensive and requires manual installation.<\/p>\n

    The climate, on the other hand, is the biggest asset. According to DHMZ data for Split-Marjan, there are 271.4 hours of sunshine in May, 309.0 in June, 353.3 in July, 328.0 in August and 247.1 in September. The average air temperature in September is 21.6 \u00b0C \u2014 higher than in May. September, which many write off, remains a full month of swimming with heating.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Information:<\/strong> In Split, from May to September, according to the climatological norms of the Croatian Meteorological Service, 1,508.8 hours of sunshine accumulate (271.4 + 309.0 + 353.3 + 328.0 + 247.1). According to these norms, May and September carry 271.4 and 247.1 hours of sunshine, respectively \u2014 these are the months that the solar blanket and heat pump bring back into the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Storm and buoyancy<\/h3>\n

    The storm means that blankets, awnings and everything by the pool must be anchored and that light solutions do not survive. It also means more deposition of leaves and dust in the water, so more frequent cleaning and a higher filtration load than in the leeward direction.<\/p>\n

    Buoyancy is a structural issue: an empty pool in the ground with a high water table is exposed to hydrostatic pressure from below. That is why the pool is not emptied for no reason, and drainage and winterization are agreed upon during the project phase.<\/p>\n

    Market context: according to CBS data on issued building permits in 2025.<\/a>, in Split-Dalmatia County, the value of the works is estimated at \u20ac640,082 thousand, of which \u20ac395,447 thousand for residential buildings, with 2,481 apartments. Nationally, 11,733 permits worth \u20ac7.86 billion were issued, for 21,809 apartments (+6.9 % vs. 2024). Translated into contractor deadlines: demand on the coast is growing and this is reflected in the construction schedule.<\/p>\n

    The volume of water per dimension of the pool \u2014 and a threshold of 100 m\u00b3 that determines the method of disinfection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Which technique to predict?<\/h2>\n

    Pool equipment is dimensioned per cubic meter of water<\/strong>, not by floor plan. The volume determines the size of the filter and pump, and thus the price of the machine room. A pool measuring 8 \u00d7 4 \u00d7 1.5 m has 48 m\u00b3 of water \u2014 that is the number used to calculate the equipment, not the 32 m\u00b2 floor plan.<\/p>\n

    Filtration and pump<\/h3>\n

    Here we provide an overview; a full explanation \u2014 in what order the equipment is placed, how it is dimensioned, and where the limits are \u2014 can be found in the guide on swimming pool technology and equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The filter and pump are the only equipment that runs every day, all season long. An undersized pump means that the water is not passing through the filter enough times a day and that the chemistry is failing to maintain quality \u2014 a mistake that is not visible in the first year, but in the third. Oversized means unnecessary electricity consumption. That's why we size by volume, with brands we have experience with: Speck<\/strong> for pumps, Astralpool<\/strong> and Zodiac<\/strong> for the rest of the system. These components make up swimming pool engine room<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Disinfection: salt electrolysis or automatic for liquid chlorine<\/h3>\n

    The practice we apply is related to volume: up to approximately 100 m\u00b3 of water we go to salt electrolysis<\/strong>, above 100 m\u00b3 on automatic control for liquid chlorine and pH<\/strong>. Electrolysis is more user-friendly and there is no handling of canisters, but for large volumes, automatic liquid chlorine provides more stable regulation. For orientation: the 8 \u00d7 4 \u00d7 1.5 m (48 m\u00b3) and 10 \u00d7 5 \u00d7 1.5 m (75 m\u00b3) pools are in the electrolysis zone, while the 12 \u00d7 6 \u00d7 1.5 m with 108 m\u00b3 exceeds the threshold.<\/p>\n

    Heating and blankets<\/h3>\n

    Astralpool heat pump for 8 \u00d7 4 swimming pool approximate cost about \u20ac3,000<\/strong>, and for 10 \u00d7 4 around \u20ac4,000<\/strong>. With the mentioned climate, this is the equipment that brings you back to May and September. This is equipment from the category pool heating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Blankets simultaneously conserve heat and keep dirt out. Solar blanket<\/strong> is around 1.000 \u20ac<\/strong>, winter<\/strong> about 1.500 \u20ac<\/strong>, and roll cover<\/strong> depending on the model \u20ac8,000\u201320,000<\/strong>In Dalmatian conditions, with bora and drift, a cover is not a luxury but an item that directly reduces the cost of chemicals and hours of filtration work.<\/p>\n

    Pro tip:<\/strong> all penetrations, cable routes and connection points for the heat pump, countercurrent and lighting should be foreseen ago<\/em> concreting. The subsequent installation of the equipment in the finished shell means savings, new waterproofing and repair of the lining. Decide on the entire technical package at the project stage, even if you buy some items later \u2014 pipes and cables can wait in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This cannot be fixed; it is solved exclusively at the design stage, by measuring the elevation and checking the views from the places where people are actually standing.<\/p>\n
