Swimming Pools in Alhama de Murcia

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build a swimming pool in Alhama de Murcia, you have come to the right place to turn your garden into a private oasis. Living in the Bajo Guadalentín comarca means enjoying a privileged inland climate with long, hot summers, but it also means dealing with intense heat that makes a cooling dip essential. With a population of approximately 23,578 residents, Alhama is a vibrant hub where we frequently work, from the historic town centre to the beautiful surrounding districts like El Berro, Gebas, La Costera, and Las Cañadas. We also specialise in serving the international community in major urbanisations such as Condado de Alhama, ensuring every project meets the highest standards. Regarding investment, in Alhama de Murcia a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on dimensions and finishes. My goal is to guide you through the technicalities of the local terrain to ensure your project is durable, beautiful, and perfectly integrated into the Murcian landscape.

Regulations and Permits in Alhama de Murcia

Navigating the legal framework is a crucial part of my job at TuExterior to ensure your project is fully compliant. All our installations, particularly those involving shading or structural covers, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. Locally, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (General Plan of Urban Planning) of Alhama de Murcia and the regional LOTUS (Law of Territory and Urbanism of the Region of Murcia).

In Alhama de Murcia, the type of permit required depends on the complexity of the work. For simple refurbishments or minor repairs, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) is usually sufficient, allowing work to begin once the paperwork is filed and fees are paid. However, for the construction of a new swimming pool or significant structural changes, the law requires a "Licencia Urbanística Previa" (Prior Urban Planning Licence). This involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect or engineer to the Town Hall. We handle the communication with the local planning office to ensure your pool meets setback requirements from boundaries and safety regulations, preventing any future administrative issues or fines.
