I certainly can. First obtain the necessary permits. Check to make sure no underground utilities are in the pool area. Form the pool at whatever grade you would like to use. Remember you don't want rainwater running into the pool, nor do you want deck drainage to flood the house. Using a large backhoe, and several dump trucks, dig the hole, shaped roughly the same size as the pool. Install the plumbing. Install the steel reinforcing bars. Spray the pool with gunite, trimming it carefully to insure uniform thickness of wall and floor. Install the tile- being sure to level the pool. Run the electrical and hook it up. Form and prepare the decks. Pour the decks. Clean the pool out and plaster it. Fill immediately. Start it up and your done. Estimated cost of equipment to get the job done: $3,000,000. Plus materials, of course. As an alternative, you might just call a pool builder and pay to have him do all this. Your choice.

First you'd get a backhoe and dig a hole 5x7 mtrs. Next, insert the appropriate drainage system in a frame (say wood or metal mesh. Next you'd pour a cement lining about .4 mtrs thick then add your liner of the desired material (copper, plastic, etc). Then add deck and desired accessories.

You will need a number of hairy arsed builders with bad fitting jeans and a lot of shovels. They will need to lay down a water-proof membrane to stop the water going anywhere, however, you will need to fit in a drainage system (you may have to empty the pool for one reason or another) then you can put down tiles and/or mosaic patterns. Then you fill the pool!!
The last and most crutial part is...to invite me over when it's ready!!

dig a hole about 6 inches wider and deeper than your estimated pool size, line with concrete, then when the concrete is 3/4ths dry jump in and add tiles. spray with waterproof sealant and wait 48 hours to dry completely. then add water. since my design doesnt have a filtering system, youll have to visit a pool supply store to get an above ground one.

It is a big job and you could get into all sorts of problems.Consult a proffesional .The only work you could do is to excavate the hole and do the groundworks around the finished Pool....Good Luck

dig a very big hole (depends on how deep you want it) and pour in concrete cement to harden the hole...and a layer of waterproof cement to prevent leakage and then tile it with proper tiling....you must have vents for the water pump and water filter installed... it's a very complicated thing and it's best you hire professionals to do it for you....
