How much does it cost to build a pool?

The most popular pool designs in Australia cost between $55,000 and $65,000. This includes the build and installation of the pool shell, coping tiles, pump, filter and chlorinator on a flat block of land with good access. Additional tiling, fencing and items such as heating are extra costs.

How it works

We visit once, design to your budget, and bring builders to quote - all before you commit.

A single expert site visit

A Poolz expert visits your home, assesses the site, and captures all the details - so no builder has to guess.

3D design & detailed plan

We design your pool, tailored to your goals and budget. You get a full 3D concept, scope of work, and list of inclusions.

Quotes from trusted builders

We send your plan to vetted builders who quote the exact same design - making comparisons clear and fair.

Choose your builder with confidence

We review your quotes with you, answer your questions, and help you select the right builder - no pressure, just clarity.

What are standard inclusions when building a pool?

Pool builders generally include these items with all new swimming pool projects.

Excavation

Pool builders will include an excavation allowance as part of the quoted pool price that covers the equipment, digging and soil removal required. A reasonable excavation allowance is around $5,000.

Heating provisions

Even if you do not initially want pool heating, many pool builders will include heating provisions so you can easily add heating in the future without the need for major works to your swimming pool.

Pool lights

Most pool builders will include at least one blue pool light or one LED light. If you select a higher quality pool builder, they may provide two LED multicolour lights as a standard inclusion.

Coping tiles

Coping tiles are a standard part of every pool build, however pool builders will vary in terms of the type and quality of coping tiles they provide - from concrete at the low end, to travertine and custom drop face at the top end.

Building insurance

All licensed pool builders are required to include the premium for insurance through the relevant State based building authority for all projects over a minimum value, which most pool builds typically exceed.

Pool cleaner

Pool builders will include cleaning equipment for your new pool, however this will vary from a pole and vacuum head to an automated cleaner or robotic cleaner depending on the quality and price of the builder you select.

Momentum Pools

reviews

The team from Momentum pools did a fantastic job with our pool and spa. we are extremely happy with the outcome of the project. Momentum pools certainly lived up to the recommendations we received from other customers of theirs. They stuck to their quote and even did additional work not included in the original scope of work without charge. We were kept in the loop throughout the project and any questions were promptly answered. It really was a pleasure to deal with Momentum Pools.

Nigel, Craig and the team at Conquest were fantastic. Nigel came out and helped us with the design concept, his background in landscape design was invaluable. the rest of the team were really professional, so nice to deal with and extremely hard working. We also engaged the landscaping arm of Nigel's team (Graeme and Dion) to build out retaining walls, paving, fencing and batten screen. Fantastic attention to detail, again, super hard working and the end result was everything we could have hoped for. We can't recommend Conquest Pools Mornington Peninsula enough

Classic Pools project managed the whole process so well. From supply, council approvals, ground work (our pool was partially in ground and part out) installers and temporary fence hire. From start to finish the build was done in two days. We are so happy with it... now looking forward to the deck going in.

We shopped around for about a year before deciding to go with Daniel and Outback Pools and very glad we did. Fantastic pool, great quality trades, top quality pool equipment and overall finish. Reasonably priced, they were excellent to deal with, from design to council to building. Everything went almost perfect for us. Highly recommended.

Factory Pools

reviews

As part of this project we shopped around for Pool builders, as we where on a budget we looked at price first, Factory pools came in thousands under the rest and we thought they must not be that good then so then we looked at customer reviews, Factory pools had lots of good reviews so we took the plunge. They were great from start to finish, they explained each stage so we really understood how the process would go and they put as at ease by happily answering all our questions. They do this everyday and we have done it just this one time and they gave us much needed advice. Each team of people we dealt with were fantastic, from the guys who dug the hole to the ladies in the accounts department and everyone in between. We would happily recommend them every time. Thanks everyone at Factory pools, great job and a pleasure dealing with you. Here`s a few pics from the begging to the end of our pool build.

Best decision I ever made. Signed contract earlier in the year and now waiting for tenants to get out so we can build. *sigh* Mark has gone beyond what most will, girls in the office any time I go in are always busy but more then happy to chat. Bring on 2022, that black pool can come home.

Mike has been amazing with helping us get our pool installed, from getting us to visit the yard to show us our pool options, to managing the installation with very tight access and after installation support. As a first time pool owner, Mike has made him self available for any questions we have regarding the running of the systems and if things are “normal”, no question has been left unanswered!

Some pool professionals will provide you with an indicative quote right away, whereas others will want to do a site visit before providing you with a quote. Please note, any quote you get without a site visit will be an estimate only.

Why does Poolz need my address?

We require your address to provide you with accurate and relevant information for your pool project. Your address helps us understand the specific details of your property as it relates to building a pool - things like: site access, slope, soil type, local regulations and more. In addition, we use your address as part of the selection process to match you with pool builders to get up to 3 quotes.

Rest assured that we value your privacy and handle your personal information with the utmost care and security. Your address is used solely for the purpose of facilitating the pool building process and ensuring that you receive the best possible service tailored to your location.
