How do I become a freelancer in pool designing? what do I have to do?

Answer 1

Well good for you!

Usually the design work is done as part of the sales presentation for a lot of pool companies and is not for the feint of heart.  Some companies have the salesman supply the yard measurement, elevations all with house and give it to a designer who draws it up and usually gives up a completely finished back yard with landscaping and anything else the homeowner wants.

The drawing must be to scale and the tools of the trade are circle templates, french curves, architectural ruler and tape, etc.  Most important is a sense of imagination and an eye to cost and detail.

You would likely have to have takeoff capability so scale measuring tools like a rolling wheel and a planimeter or palimiter would be of great use.

There are some really great computer aided design programs for pools and backyards you should investigate though I recommend you first learn to master the pencil drawings first.

A great attribute to have would be the ability to draw in front of the customer a deck view of the pool design.  That always gets their attention.

Good Luck!

You're welcome!!
