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.

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.

Riverina Pools Adelaide

reviews

Our experience with Riverina pools began with a reference from our builder as a reputable company to work with so we decided to give Riverina a go. From the onset of our relationship with Riverina we realised the high level of customer service and personalised approach to dealing with customers. Mark, Sian and the team were extremely helpful and professional right throughout the process. We especially appreciated their patience and understanding especially when making decisions around colours and the look of the pool and coping. Their prices were competitive and they also provided some upgrades depending on which promotions were running at the time. But most importantly Riverina were there from beginning to end providing support and advice with a high level of professionalism. They are a company who are keen to ensure all aspects of the pool are compliant with regulations and are very familiar with working with various councils in Adelaide. This too gave us peace of mind regarding compliance. Riverina's customer service was also great with follow-up post the handover to ensure everything was working ok. We would highly recommend Riverina pools as a reliable pool retailer, a company who are easy to deal with and provide the best possible pool for your budget. Many thanks to the Riverina team!

We came across Brian's business about 5 years ago when we were looking to build a cabana and a pool. I can say that we were very fortunate to find Brian and engage him with our project. And what a fine work he did!! During the whole journey Brian has been committed, he communicated with us about everything and always going the extra mile ensuring the work is done to the finest of quality. One thing is sure, Brian is passionate about what he does and this shows in the final product he delivered. He is a perfectionist and has an amazing work integrity and care. I can not speak highly enough of his work ethics! We are very happy with the work and would highly recommend Brian and his team to anyone.

Harrison's Landscaping

We highly recommend Harrison's Landscaping. We have recently completed our massive back-yard and pool reno with Harrison's, and are exceptionally pleased with the result. Having never before taken on a project of this size, we were naturally very nervous about trusting all of this work to one company, when most other options were a separate pool reno and landscaper. In the end, our experience, the result, and the professional service right from the first day of engagement, was second-to-none, and all of our fears went out the window. Initial consultations with the Sam's showed they were attentive, imaginative, and realistic, not to mention incredibly talented. Once work started, Ben G managed our project (excellent) and the team of Ben F, Scotty and new recruit Dylan were polite, easy to talk to, and nothing was ever too hard for them - not even after the thousand or so buckets of dirt hand-carried to the skip. The end result is unbelievable, the old yard unrecognisable. We went in nervous, and came out knowing we made the right choice.

Complete Fibreglass Pool Kits

reviews

Rohan and the team at Complete Fibreglass Pool Kits were amazing from start to finish. We wanted a pool and got quotes from traditional pool builders but the costs were way too high so we looked around. After speaking with Rohan several times as he was very accommodating we decided to do the owner builder option and do it ourselves. The information and support along the way was great and no question was too big or small for them. In the end we saved at least $10K on the install and got a bigger pool than quoted by the builders. There is some work involved but its well worth it in the end. Great range of high quality pools and equipment on offer and excellent help along the way. We are so happy with our end result.

Great experience dealing with Pleasure Pools from the initial consultation to the completed pool. The team at Pleasure Pools upgraded our leaking and dated Vinyl in-ground pool to a modern sleek, fully automated pool with the benefit of a Naked pool System and robot cleaner. The construction team arrived on time every day and we had water in the new pool by day 4. Great communication throughout and Naked Pools Specialist even came around to provide instruction in testing and operation. The coping took slightly longer than expected but this was due to the team completing construction ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a new pool or refurbishing an existing pool.

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.

In order to get accurate quotes, you will need to invite the pool pro's to your house to inspect your site and discuss your pool in more detail. Once this has happened, you will get get accurate quotes you can rely on. The time this takes depends on how long it takes for the site visit to be organised.

If you have any concerns or need further assistance, our customer support team is here to help.

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.

Simply, it is impossible to connect you with pool builders to get quotes if we don't know who you are and cannot contact you!
