Pool Design in Panama City Since 1958
Cox Pools has been designing and building pools in Panama City and Bay County since 1958. Most pool designers hand off to a builder and lose control of the outcome. We do not. The same company that draws the plan builds the shell, applies the interior finish, sets the paver deck, and stays accountable for everything after the water goes in.
Our Panama City Beach showroom has two complete pools on site — tile, coping, finishes, and water — so you can see and touch the real materials before you commit to any design decision. Most people make more progress in one showroom visit than in a month of looking at photos online.
What Our Design Team Builds
From the first sketch to the final paver, one design and build team with one point of accountability throughout.
Pools designed around your Panama City lot — setbacks, grades, sightlines, and how you actually live in the backyard. The designer who draws the plan is also accountable for what gets built.
Schedule a design consultation
Resort, HOA, and municipal pool design and construction in Panama City and Bay County. From zero-entry family pools to full aquatic complexes — designed and built to commercial code.
Schedule a design consultation
Redesigning and resurfacing existing pools. Our designer scopes the full renovation — plaster, tile, coping, deck, and equipment — and our crews execute the plan.
Schedule a design consultation
Outdoor kitchens, covered lanais, fire features, and paver decking designed as part of the same plan as the pool — not added on as an afterthought.
Schedule a design consultationPumps, heaters, automation, and leak detection. The same company that designed your pool handles warranty service — no handoffs, no runaround.
Schedule a design consultationWhy Design With Cox
Our Panama City Beach design center has two finished pools on site. See the tile in real light, touch the coping, walk the travertine. Most design decisions click here instead of from a two-inch sample chip.
The person who drew the plan is the same company that builds it. No handoff from designer to builder. No gap between what was designed and what gets installed.
You see a full line-item breakdown alongside your design — not a rough estimate followed by change orders. If your budget and wish list don't align, we tell you before the contract.
Call 850.235.0095 after the pool is finished and you still reach us — not a manufacturer, not a subcontractor, not a call center.
The Design Process
Most design surprises happen when the designer and the builder are different people. Our process keeps them the same.
Visit our Panama City Beach showroom with two full pools on site. Walk the tile, touch the finishes, see the water in real light. This is where pool design actually starts — not in front of a screen.
We survey your actual Bay County lot — grades, setbacks, sightlines, sun path — and draw a design plan around it. Paired with a line-item proposal before anything is signed.
We handle the structural engineering and the full Bay County permit package. The design is built to code before the first shovel goes in.
Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, deck, plaster, startup. The same company that designed the pool builds it — our crews on the trades that matter most.
Balanced water, equipment walkthrough, and a warranty department that stays a single call away for as long as you own the pool.
Our Designs, Built
No renders, no borrowed images. Every project here was designed and constructed by Cox Pools crews and photographed on location across the Emerald Coast.

Also servingFinancing
Most of our clients finance part of the project. We work with third-party lending partners who understand pool construction — including draw schedules that release funds as the build progresses.
Ask About Financing
Resurfacing, retiling, paver decking, and equipment upgrades can all be financed the same way new pool design and construction can.
Prequalification is quick. Knowing your approved budget before your design consultation keeps the plan grounded from the start.
Your designer walks through financing terms alongside the line-item proposal so you compare the same numbers the lender is.

Design and construction cost depends on size, depth, interior finish, paver decking, and features. We give you a line-item proposal after the design consultation — not a rough number over the phone — and we tell you early if your budget and wish list don't align.
Yes. We produce a full design plan drawn to your actual lot before you sign anything. You also get a line-item proposal alongside it, so you see the design and the cost together before committing.
Design typically wraps in a few weeks after the initial consultation and site survey. Construction runs a few months from signed contract to first swim. Permitting and weather are the two biggest variables.
Yes. We handle structural engineering, the full Bay County permit package, and HOA or architectural review submittals. The design is built to code before the first shovel goes in.
Yes. Outdoor kitchens, covered lanais, fire features, and paver decking are designed as part of the same plan as the pool — not added on separately after the fact. Gas, electrical, and plumbing are roughed in during pool construction when planned together.
Yes. Third-party lending partners offer programs for both new construction and remodels. Knowing your approved budget before the design consultation makes the design process much more productive.
