Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Robert Drucker, CEOWith an unrivaled breadth of services encompassing pool installation and outdoor furnishings, kitchens, irrigation, lighting systems, spas, fencing, cabanas and recreational courts, All Island Group has solidified its position in the industry. Its approach is holistic, with every project managed in-house by a seasoned and professional team of experts. From rooftop marvels in Manhattan to tranquil backyard retreats, its portfolio is a testament to its versatility and commitment to excellence.
“We’ve been able to design, create and construct pretty much anything our clients could think of,” says Robert Drucker, CEO.
Innovative Projects: The Hydraulic Pool
All Island has made a name for itself through the completion of a variety of stunning and challenging pool construction projects. Notable is a hydraulic-powered, adjustable system—a marvel of engineering and design with the ability to quickly transform from a patio to a pool. This award-winning project is emblematic of its forward-thinking approach, utilizing water hydraulics and stainless steel to create a floor system that raises and lowers, adapting to limited space with elegance and functionality.
The original purpose was to address the client’s limited backyard space. When the pool is not in use, it becomes a usable patio space. When the client wants to use the pool, the single push of a button lowers the floor to any level, depending on whether children or adults are using the pool.
“That is a design we were incredibly proud of, and it has been duplicated many times since,” says Drucker.
Beyond the traditional swimming pools found in many homes and buildings, All Island extends its reach to distribute Biodesign pools, which simulate the serenity of natural beaches. As an exclusive distributor in the majority of the United States for biodesignusa.com, one division is responsible for custom builds in the New York tri-state area while another is tasked with distributing and training pool construction professionals around the country.
“This is evidenced by the fact that 99 percent of the work we do is by recommendation,” says Drucker.
Along with its commitment to creating pool spaces that are visually compelling, All Island champions eco-conscious practices. Every construction project incorporates cutting-edge, energy-efficient technology. This includes the use of advanced pumps that significantly reduce electricity consumption and the innovative application of solar panels for heating pools and powering adjacent cabanas and guest houses, making these spaces energy-independent.
Setting the Benchmark in Operations
All Island Group’s commitment to meeting the varying aspirations of its clients ensures that each project is as efficient as it is exquisite. It leverages a diverse team of in-house specialists to cover every project phase, from design, engineering and surveying to the final touches of varying pool features. This all-encompassing approach is made possible by an impressive fleet of trucks and materials, ensuring that tasks such as excavation, tiling, concrete work, electrical installations and plumbing are easily executed without the need for outsourcing. The in-house business model enables the team to maintain tight control over project timelines and budgets.
Each client is paired with a direct contact on the team, maintaining open communication throughout the design and construction process. This client-first approach, combined with extensive experience and longevity in business, breeds a level of trust and security that most competitors cannot match.

Often, All Island Group is tasked with creating visually appealing and energy-efficient poolscapes in diverse construction environments. It can require navigating the logistical challenges of urban settings, such as coordinating road closures for transporting materials to skyscraper rooftops or employing manual excavation techniques to preserve the integrity of historic properties. Its approach is marked by an acute sensitivity to a project’s environmental impact and the demands of each location. The team’s comprehensive understanding of varying building codes and environmental regulations ensures that each pool enhances the property in a way that honors the surrounding landscape and the planet.

This craftsmanship creates pools that are about more than swimming. The artistic experience was highlighted by a project that emulated the exploration of the lost city of Atlantis, recreated at the bottom of a pool through detailed, hand-carved tiles that told the story.
