Prepare the ground
Before excavation, it is important to note that there is ground preparation. In the place where your pool will be located, it is necessary to remove all obstacles such as trees, fences and so on. Also, your location must be accessible to all construction machines. You need to know that a path that is at least 6 feet wide is necessary for machines to pass.
Excavation

It usually takes one day to dig a smaller pool, and two days if the pool is large. What can happen is an extended period of excavation which should not last more than a week. The preparation for the bottom and the digging of the hole itself is done by an excavator. Once the hole has been dug and the bottom prepared, it is time to install the pool you have chosen.
The process of installing the pool depends on the builder, but the optimal time for it is 1-3 weeks, according to compasspools.com.au. If you want to be sure that the whole process will not take longer than it should and that the workers will be responsible for your time and money.

Once the pool is in place you can start thinking about accessories such as water features, landscaping or lighting. This is when the process of adding water and backfill usually starts. This whole process of decorating and adding water can take anywhere from 4 days to 4 weeks. It all depends on your needs. The process of adding water and backfill continues until it reaches the level where the deck should be.
Installations
The gas and electrical connections can be installed before adding water, but also after. Everything depends on the work of the company. If most of it is done, this process can last 1-4 days, if it is not, it can take 4 weeks.
