I have neighbors who used Fiesta. It took them 3 months from start to finish (digging to water going in). I used Premier of Pools of Central Florida - 10.3 weeks from dig to water.

If you got one done in 6 weeks, that's impressive - and probably the only pool they ever did in that time frame. Having said that, Fiesta is what I would call a tier 2 pool builder (PB). They build simple pools, and do it well. If you want automation or complex additions, they don't have the staff or expertise for that. They no-bid my pool due to some of the build requirements (to be fair, 4 out of 6 companies no-bid my pool - I had an existing birdcage over 1,300 sq ft with a partial covering that I wanted to retain).

The only time I've seen a build that fast is when done up north. In Michigan, they began digging my pool on Saturday, and water was going in the next Sunday, but that was a huge vinyl pool (42,000 gallons). My Georgia pool took them 5 agonizing months, and my Florida pool took a little over 10 weeks. Meanwhile I had several neighbors who had different PB's. Their pools were started before mine, and were still on-going when I had water going in.

Just make sure you carefully check reviews. There are several good PB's I would always get quotes from, and huge list of those I wouldn't.
