“The A.P. Construction team was truly professional and worked very hard to bring the project in on time and as close to budget as possible. The quality of the subcontractors they brought to the job was excellent and the project results exceeded the expectations of the membership. On top of that, they are great guys and they created a very positive work environment for all. I would not hesitate to recommend A.P. Construction to anyone for any construction project of any size.”

Project Description:

  • Complete removal and replacement of the existing pool and pool house with a new multi-functional 7,000 square foot structure which includes lockers, reception/administration area, dining area, kitchen/servery, camp building, and tennis pro shop.  The roof connects the separate buildings and allows for access control and integration of the various functions.
  • 5,000 square foot pool includes six lanes and a diving well. A separate children’s pool is located adjacent to the main pool.  Extensive concrete decks and open lawns surround the pools.
  • Snack bar includes a 1,200 square foot full service kitchen and serving window adjacent to an additional 1,200 square feet of covered outdoor dining overlooking the pool deck.
  • Other structures include a tennis viewing platform and a pump house for the pool equipment. Site work included extensive terraces, walls, decking, and a new parking lot.  The tennis courts were re-constructed under a separate contract at the same time requiring careful logistical planning.
  • Construction management services included: constructability review, budgeting, value engineering, subcontractor bid and award, safety and logistical planning, pre-purchase program, scheduling of all construction activities and commissioning oversight.
