The Project Build Blog is dedicated to sharing what we’re working on, our capabilities, and the relationships we build with our clients. Sometimes a job is short and simple, but other times we spend weeks, even months on site with a customer, paying much attention to detail and ensuring the end result is exactly what they wanted.
Followers of our blog will be familiar with AquaCal, as we’ve shared progress on our work along the way. AquaCal, located in St. Petersburg, is a leader in the pool and spa industry that produces a large variety of pool components. Like A.O. Construction, AquaCal is committed to quality, so we’re making sure to provide them with a top-notch workspace so they can continue to thrive.
It’s finally time to give you the final reveal of our work on the AquaCal project. From dirt to Grand Opening our crew has been working on this site for exactly 9 months and 2 weeks.
We have tons of photos to share this time around.
