Where the private pools are in New Cairo
A large part of New Cairo is apartments inside compounds, and the people living in them swim in the compound pool. Private pools sit in the villas, twin houses and townhouses, inside the compounds and in the older villa districts either side of Ninety Street. The plots are big by Cairo standards, so most of our work here is new construction: overflow edges with a balance tank, a spa built into the same scheme, water features on the terrace.
We are in Nasr City, a short drive from New Cairo. Fifth Settlement, Mivida, Hyde Park and the rest of New Cairo are inside the area our teams cover. For a first figure before the visit, our online pool configurator works it out from our own rate book.
Villa pools in Mivida, Hyde Park and the other compounds
Compound villas usually come with a garden laid out for a pool and a developer's rulebook beside it. Emaar Misr, Hyde Park Developments and Mivida all appear on our list of developer partners, so their rules on drawings, access and deliveries are familiar to our engineers. On these plots an overflow edge is usually possible, with the balance tank under the deck and the plant room placed at design stage, out of sight of the terrace.
Standalone villa pools in Narges, Banafseg and Choueifat
The villa districts outside the gated compounds hold private plots, each built to its owner's own plan. Some of these pools went in fifteen years ago or more. Here we do both kinds of job: new pools on plots that never had one, and renovation of the shell, the waterproofing, the tiling and the plant room on pools that are wearing out together.
Townhouse and twin house gardens
A townhouse garden in a New Cairo compound is narrow, with one side gate and neighbours on two sides. We measure the route in for the excavation on the first visit and size the pool, the plant room and the noise of the pumps to the space. A plunge pool or a skimmer pool with a small spa often fits where a full overflow edge would crowd the garden.
Shared compound pools and clubhouses
The biggest pools in New Cairo belong to the compounds themselves, in clubhouses and shared gardens that hundreds of residents use. Whoever manages one of those answers to the residents for every day it is closed. We trace a fault to its cause and fix it once, log the readings on every visit for inspections, and book any closure for the quietest weeks. Compound managements and clubs can contract us directly, on commercial terms.
A ground survey on every New Cairo plot before the drawing
Ground conditions and the water table change from one compound to the next. The survey records what is under your plot, and the structural engineer sets the shell, the steel and the drainage from it. The hydraulic engineer then sizes the pumps and the filtration for the pool you chose. Each villa gets a drawing made for its own ground, and you see that drawing before you sign anything.
Compound permits and working hours are our job
Every compound out here sets its own terms for contractors. Security clearance for the site team, delivery slots, where the concrete pump stands, which gate the spoil leaves through and the hour the noise stops. We file the paperwork with the compound management, keep the site team inside the permitted hours and answer the management office ourselves. You stay out of that correspondence.

New Cairo pools another contractor built
Plenty of villa and compound pools in New Cairo came from other builders, and we take them on in whatever condition they are in. The first visit covers the water, the shell, the tiling, the pipework and the plant room, and you receive a written verdict on each one: sound, needs work now, or can wait. From there we quote the repair, the renovation or a weekly maintenance contract, whichever that pool actually needs.
How the price of a New Cairo pool is set
A skimmer pool in a townhouse garden and an overflow pool with a spa on a large villa plot are different jobs, and the survey finds what each plot adds: the depth of the dig, the water table, the access for a mixer truck and the compound's own restrictions. So we price after the site visit. The visit costs nothing, the quotation costs nothing, and it arrives in writing, broken into lines, with the dates attached.
Owners who should call another company
If the pool has to be finished in six weeks for an event, we will tell you on the first call that our programme is ninety days. If you want tiles laid over a crack without anyone opening it up, we will turn the job down, because we put our warranty only on work we have checked. And if the lowest figure in the compound decides it for you, a cheaper contractor will win that, usually by thinning the steel or the waterproofing.

Frequently asked questions in New Cairo
Do you build and look after pools in Mivida and Hyde Park? Yes. Both are inside the area our teams cover, and Emaar Misr, Hyde Park Developments and Mivida are on our developer partner list.
Do you cover villas near the AUC campus, Point 90 Mall and Cairo Festival City? Yes. North and South Ninety, the streets around the AUC, Point 90 and Cairo Festival City Mall on the Ring Road are all inside our New Cairo working area.
Can my plot take an overflow edge? Most villa plots in New Cairo have room for one, and the survey confirms it. We check where the balance tank goes, what the deck can carry and where the plant room sits. See our overflow and infinity pool builds for how the edge works.
Who deals with the compound management? We do. Drawings, access letters, security clearance for the site team, delivery slots and working hours, for every compound we work in.
Does the ground change from one compound to another? Yes, and the water table with it. That is why every plot gets surveyed and the shell gets designed for the ground under it.
Can you add a sauna or a steam room next to the pool? Yes, where the villa has the space for it. We plan it with the pool, on the same electrics and drainage, through our sauna and steam room installation team.
Where is your office? In Nasr City, at 15 El-Lewaa Mahmoud Samy Basha, a short drive from New Cairo. Our site teams come out to your plot for every survey and every visit.
How long does a new villa pool take? Ninety days for a standard residential pool, set in the quotation. Rooftop, indoor and larger custom schemes get their own programme, given in writing before you sign.
Will you work on a pool another contractor built? Yes. The first visit is a full survey of the water, the shell, the tiling, the pipework and the plant room, and the findings come to you in writing.
What warranty do you give? On pools we build: 25 years on the structure, 10 on the waterproofing, 5 on the electromechanical works, in writing; on a repair to another company's pool, the term is agreed per job and written on the quote.
