A design your clients can understand. Details your team can build from.

For pool builders and architects, we provide design support when a project calls for a bespoke solution. We work through the proposal with you and your clients, coordinate the design with the wider project team and help progress the relevant approvals.

For homeowners, that means a clearer picture of what’s proposed and how the pool connects with the rest of your home and garden.

Structural engineering, pool construction and certification remain with the appointed specialists. External consultant, contractor and statutory fees are additional where required.

A few useful answers

Can you help with a sloping or difficult site?

Yes. Resolving levels, tight spaces and existing constraints is a key part of our work. We consider the house, access, pool, retaining, planting and outdoor living together, then use plans and 3D views where appropriate to explain the design.

Can you coordinate approvals?

Our Signature Design & Approvals service includes approval documentation and coordination with relevant consultants. The pathway depends on the site and proposal. External planning, engineering and certification services and statutory fees are quoted separately where required.

Do you build the garden as well?

MUD provides independent landscape design and documentation. Your appointed contractors carry out the construction. We can help you obtain comparable quotes and connect with suitable landscapers, pool builders and other specialists. Project coordination and construction support are available separately.
