The fastest pool builder in Atlanta.
45 days from ground-break
to first swim.
Here is exactly
how we do it.
If you are searching for the fastest pool builder in Atlanta, you are not really asking for speed alone. You want your yard back, the mess gone, and your kids in the water while the season is still here. Scott designs the pool, leads the build, and the team runs the same tight 45-day process across North Metro Atlanta.
Start with custom pools, see more real client proof, or go back to the RutherfordMade home page if you want the full story first.
Four or five months usually comes from gaps, not hard work.
Long pool builds are often slow before the first dig. The design is not final, permits are loose, and crews are called after the last trade leaves. The owner is not on-site, so small decisions wait. Then your yard sits open while everyone tries to find the next person. That is a coordination problem, not a craftsmanship problem. You feel trapped by a job you were excited to start.
RutherfordMade is built to avoid those gaps. I design it. I build it. The team does not treat your yard like a waiting room for rotating subcontractors. We plan the order before we dig, then we keep the work moving.
Consultation, 3D design, permits, excavation, construction, first swim.
The build clock starts at ground-break. The planning work comes first because that is what makes the 45-day standard possible.
Free design consultation
Before the clock starts. Scott comes to your home, walks the yard, checks slope and access, and listens to how you want to live outside. You get a straight read on what is possible and what needs to happen next.
Custom 3D design
Before the clock starts. You see the pool shape, spa, shelf, patio, kitchen, fire, and walking paths before construction begins. We revise the plan before it becomes a hole in your yard.
Permits and crew sequence
Before the clock starts. RutherfordMade handles permits and HOA paperwork where needed. The team also pre-sequences excavation, shell, plumbing, hardscape, finish, and startup crews so the next step is ready.
Excavation — Build Day 1
The 45-day clock starts here. Tree removal, grading, access, and excavation begin. Scott is on-site. You know what happened that day and what is coming next.
Construction
Build Days 2 — 35. The same specialized crews handle steel, shell, plumbing, equipment, coping, patio, stone, kitchen, fire, and finish work in order. One missed handoff can cost a week, so we do not leave it loose.
Fill and first swim
Build Days 36 — 45. Tile, finish, equipment startup, cleanup, and water setup come together. Scott walks you through the system, the team checks the details, and your family gets the first swim.
Fast works only when the owner, permits, and crews are already lined up.
The 45-day standard is not a rush job. It is a tighter way to run the job. Scott keeps the permit path clear, the crew order set, and the daily calls close to the yard. That is why RutherfordMade can serve Atlanta and North Metro Atlanta homeowners without letting projects sit half-finished.
Owner on every job
No project manager relay. Scott makes decisions on site. When the unexpected happens — and it always does — it's resolved that afternoon, not next Tuesday.
Same specialized crews
The excavation, shell, plumbing, hardscape, and finish crews know how RutherfordMade runs a job. That saves time because the handoffs are familiar.
Pre-sequenced work
Permits, crews, materials, and daily decisions are lined up before the dig. The build moves because the next step is not a surprise.
Fast means nothing if the builder vanishes after fill day.
RutherfordMade backs speed with written promises. The Clear Communication Guarantee means you know what is happening. The One-Year Worry-Free guarantee means the team stands behind the pool after the first swim. That matters because a fast build should still feel calm, clear, and cared for.
31-day record
Antwan D. in Woodstock went from tree removal to filled pool in exactly 31 days. That is the proof point. The standard target is 45 days from ground-break.
45-day standard
Scott keeps the service area tight so he can stay close to the job. That is how the team keeps North Metro Atlanta builds moving.
