License and permits for pool house & cabana build
A pool house is a building, so it is built by a licensed general contractor who coordinates licensed plumbing, electrical and mechanical trades. Structural work and utility runs are regulated. Your pro holds the license the work requires.
A building permit is commonly required, with separate permits and inspections for electrical and plumbing. Rules on setbacks, height, distance from the pool and use of the building differ by area, so ask your pro what applies to your address.
Check the pro's profile for their license, ask for copies of the permits and keep the final inspection records. Each licensed trade should be named on the permit.

Before you book pool house & cabana build
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
List what you want inside
Write down every feature: changing room, bathroom, shower, kitchenette, storage, seating. Features with water add the most planning, so decide which are essential.
Photograph the site
Take photos of the pool area, nearby fences, slopes, trees and utility boxes. A pro can plan the location and the trench routes more quickly.
Find your permit and survey documents
The pool permit and your property survey show setbacks, easements and utility locations. Have them ready when you book and share what you have.
Check HOA and neighbor rules
Associations may review plans, height and color. Get approvals in writing before work starts, and share them with your pro.
Plan the budget around utilities
Trenching, a sub-panel and plumbing runs often cost more than the building shell. Ask your pro to show those as separate line items so you can adjust.
Ask who coordinates the trades
A licensed general contractor typically coordinates plumbing, electrical and inspections. Ask who handles permits, scheduling and cleanup before you book.
