Frequently Asked Questions
How does Selah's design process work for custom projects?
Selah's design process begins with understanding how your family intends to live in the outdoor living space, allowing those insights to guide every spatial decision. Rather than imposing predetermined solutions, we evolve the design through genuine dialogue between your lifestyle priorities and our architectural expertise. The Benegal project in Colleyville exemplifies this collaborative methodology, where patient consultation shaped every relationship between built form and open space. This approach ensures your outdoor investment reflects both sophisticated craftsmanship and authentic family connection, with each detail earning its place.
What makes Selah different from other pool builders?
Most builders lead with construction. We lead with design. Selah delivers complete outdoor environments — pools, spas, kitchens, pergolas, fire features, landscaping — under one team and one vision, so nothing feels like an afterthought.
We're Pinnacle Award winners featured in Luxury Pools magazine, and we use LiDAR engineering for precision that conventional methods can't match.
How do you ensure the outdoor space works with my home?
Every Selah project begins with understanding your home's existing architecture and how the outdoor environment should complement it. For the Marriott residence, we selected materials that honor the home's character while establishing a distinct outdoor identity. Strategic positioning takes advantage of natural features while creating the privacy and flow your family needs. Our design team's expertise in spatial relationships ensures seamless integration between indoor and outdoor areas, creating zones for different activities while maintaining the architectural harmony that makes the investment feel like a natural extension of your home.
What kind of ongoing support do you provide after build?
Selah's commitment extends well beyond construction completion. We provide detailed guidance on maintaining your investment and ensuring optimal performance for years to come. Our team remains available for questions or adjustments as you settle into your new outdoor living space, just as we do for the Marriott family. The infrastructure we build is designed for long-term reliability in North Texas conditions, and we provide expertise to help you maximize enjoyment. This ongoing relationship reflects our belief that complete outdoor environments deserve professional support throughout their lifespan.
How long does a custom outdoor project typically take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity, but our collaborative design process ensures thorough planning before construction begins. The Marriott project demonstrates how proper consultation and design development creates a foundation for efficient execution. We prioritize getting the vision right rather than rushing to break ground. Our design-build methodology allows seamless coordination between planning and construction phases. Throughout the build, daily oversight maintains both quality standards and schedule adherence, keeping your project moving while ensuring every detail meets our craftsmanship standards.
