Since 1992, Ramaker & Associates (RAMAKER) has been a leader in the Aquatics Industry.  As a full service company, our team is proficient in all phases of the design process. With creative ideas and decades of experience, we skillfully collaborate with you to achieve a design that reflects your vision and exceeds your expectations.

These eight phases will guide you from your initial dream to the grand opening of your successful waterpark or aquatic facility.

PHASE ONE

the dream

01

So, you want to build a waterpark or aquatic facility. You think it’s a great idea but how do you go about pursuing this dream without people thinking you’re all wet? You can learn from the experts in the industry.

PHASE TWO

feasibility study

02

The feasibility study provides an economic and business analysis as well as a guideline for design. Our designers will focus on the target market outlined in the study and design your facility to match accordingly. It is a very crucial starting point to building your park.

PHASE THREE

master planning

03

The master plan provides a layout of the facility size and features. It also reveals how the pool area integrates with the overall scheme of the development, whether it is a resort, hotel, YMCA or community pool. It is imperative to bring in the entire team at this stage so that planning, budgeting, and scheduling can be addressed.

PHASE FOUR

design development

04

You’ll work closely with the design team during this stage to take the master plan a step further to define construction materials, features and theming.

PHASE FIVE

construction documents
