We're going to bring technical know how, we'll bring years of expertise, we're going to bring
personnel who have the capabilities of building a pool, to meet the requirements for that
home builder, or designer, or that backyard, or that environment.
There's methodology in our method or our ability to do things. There's our ISO formula that
we carry into the backyard - consistent quality, a consistent method of building - issues that
arise, a methodology in handling those issues. And then there's also the respect that comes
with that. Builders and architects know when we come in to do what we're going to do, we
fulfill it.
There's the capability to modify. There's capability to enhance. There's capability
to break outside of the normal box because our methods of doing a build or design, working
on an existing design, is based on pushing the envelope. People, technology drives that
way, pools can equally as well. A backyard is not strictly flat, fenced, and a swimming
pool that's in the middle of it, that envelope has been pushed way past that.
DESIGN - Jay Middleton, Gib-San Pools Design Manager
To take those ideas, those wishes, those needs, and make sure that they're positioned in the
appropriate location as it relates to sun, wind, relationships in between the pool and
the cabana, so that's really the importance of working with a professional because you're
allowed to tap in to their resources, their expertise and the artist within their mind.
And the collaboration really is a relationship that you're building long term and that's
the very first step and it's so critical. We've got projects that are national, international,
that we can tap into, that we're bringing back to your home, your residence, for your
family to enjoy.
An extreme situation is where we had to develop a pool on the 67th floor of a tower which
is the highest building at the time in Abu-Dhabi, and work with engineers from the standpoint
of the pool swaying because it becomes like a metronome at the top so how to create forces
to balance that off. The design itself was a perimeter overflow - the tile selection,
the lighting in there - how that would all come together and then work with the building
itself, the glass surround, and function for the users. So that I would say that's one
of the most extreme projects that I've been involved on.
Many years ago Gib-San evolved into a company that became 360 degrees in the pool business.
We look after the construction of your pool, the ongoing maintenance of the pool, the opening
and closing of the pool, the retail needs of the pool, the retail needs of the accessories
for the pool. We look after everything. So when you come to Gib-San, you're just coming
to Gib-San - you don't have to go anywhere else.
Gib-San takes a seasonal business to a year-round company. Our service is not just for the summer.
Our service is really all year round. We are here 24 hours a day. We have staff here on
the weekends, in the summertime and in the wintertime. For you. To service your needs.
You don't have to call the manufacturer of your pool equipment, you don't have to call
the people who made your pool liner, or that batched the concrete for your pool. You call
us. We are the ones that look after you and your pool.
Several years ago, when we had different clients who have different pools and different needs,
we brought it all together into a custom designed contract for your pool. Some people like to
open early or close late, we have to be able to tailor to all of these needs. A lot of
people don't like to have to deal with things in the spring and in the fall, and it just
becomes more things to remember. Why not bundle it all up into one package. You press the
start button and away you go. There's nothing else you have to worry about from there.
We pride ourselves on respecting your property. The key word there is respect. We treat your
property just like we would treat our own. We want to come in, we want to do our job,
and we want to leave ensuring that you never even know that we were there. Once our people
have left we ensure that site is secure, safe and that there's nothing for you to worry
about.
The uniqueness about Gib-San is our ability to deliver to you all of the design, build,
and after market serviceability all within one company, within one organization, within
one framework. That particular, I will use the word "Packaging" or "Bundling", of all
necessities to bring the ultimate backyard together is something very unique that Gib-san
can provide and we do, day in and day out. It's our training, our experience, our knowledge
and our education ongoing, that allows us to be cutting edge and to bring to you the
best products, services and creation. The creative creation part that we bring to the
table allows your backyard to be new and fresh for not just one year, but for many years
to come. That is an important part of dealing with Gib-San.
The importance of ISO to you the consumer is that preventative and corrective action
take place behind the scenes, to ensure that the quality of products and services that
we are delivering you are maintained, the health and safety of the folks delivering
those products and services are maintained, and very importantly but not last, is the
issue of the environmental footprint, that we also maintain and look after that environmental
footprint from a position of preventative and corrective action. Those are very important.
It helps us reduce costs, reduce the amount of errors and if there are errors that happen,
which do from time to time, that we put preventative and corrective measures in place to avoid
chronic mistakes. You don't want your backyard to be a learning ground - you want it to be
a place where experienced personnel have a systematic approach to problem solving - and
each and every backyard there are problems that come up, but that's the nature of construction.
It's intrusive and can be very complicated, but experienced personnel help you, bring
you through to the other side, the finished beautiful backyard.
For over 40 years Gib-San has been winning awards nationally, and internationally. It
is very important to see the value that is put upon winning awards, and see some of these
gorgeous backyard retreats and oasis to see how gorgeous they are, and to see them on
a plaque and winning an award is very satisfying from a perspective of a company owner. But
more importantly, I think it tells you the client, the depth of experience that this
particular company has and it also shows you the third party validation, that is to say
the outside critics looking at a company and validating that their work is outstanding.
That is a little feather in the cap, not the most important by far, but certainly an important
element in choosing the right pool builder.
