BUILDING THE NEXT STANDARD IN AQUATIC CONSTRUCTION
oasis story
Oasis has 30 years of construction experience, including 20 years in the aquatic industry. Throughout his career, Ed Shifflett, CEO, saw firsthand how pool construction remained stuck in outdated methods while technology advanced everywhere else. Traditional concrete and steel systems create unnecessary weight, complexity, equipment demands, and risk, especially in elevated applications. Convinced there had to be a better way, he spent a year engineering and refining a new patent-pending foam system in his garage. He then spent the next eight years proving it through builds. Today, Oasis has delivered commercial pools, spas, water features, and wellness environments. Industry veterans recognize the patent-pending system as “the future of the industry.”
why oasis
Oasis replaces outdated methods with smarter innovation, while honoring timeless standards of craftsmanship, integrity, and excellence. Our work is built for those who demand more: stronger structures, cleaner processes, and results that stand the test of time. Traditional aquatic construction relies on heavy materials, painfully slow construction, and cost overruns. Oasis was built to change that.
We build quality and professional outcomes—project after project. We don’t chase shortcuts.
How We Work
Our standards are simple:
-
Professionalism in every interaction
