From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pag... If you are going to build a concrete swimming pool the first thing you need to do is not underestimate the scope or technical intensity of the project. Swimming pools are more complicated than most people assume them to be and a concrete swimming pool represents the most challenging of the pool types to build. Of the different concrete pool styles of construction there are gunite pools, shotcrete pools, cast in place pools (CIP), block wall and ICF blocks. Each of these will require a different building process, waterproofing and finishing detail.

There are many well known problems that you can encounter when building a concrete swimming pool and if you are building your own for the first time you will not necessarily know right from wrong. In some areas it is not required to have engineered plans for concrete pool construction, where in other areas engineering and site inspections / soil samples are required. If you are building your own pool you should still bring on an engineering firm to help you with design, specifications, site plans, inspections etc. as this is a level of protection that is typically well worth the price. There is a world of difference between a high quality pool that you built cheaply, and a cheaply built pool.
