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.

C2c pools installed our horizon slimline 5.5 x 3m. Couldn't be happier with the result and dealing with Tim and Hailey was a pleasure. Everything ran smoothly and on time and the attention to detail on site by the team was next level. We researched all the local pool companies and went with our gut in the end and used c2c pools. So glad we did. Thankyou to all the c2c team, it feels like we are on holidays every time we step into our backyard. Highly recommend using c2c pools.

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.

I could not be happier with the result of our pool from the team at North Shore pools and Landscaping. Our build was not your run of the mill "dig a hole and put a pool in". their communication off the build and attention to detail on the build was fantastic. in this day and age it is rare to find not only a company with this level of service but trades that deliver such a high standard of product. No request was an issue for Steve and was met with a professional response. I would 100% recommend North Shore Pools to any of my friends as i already have just the other day. great job and keep up the great work..

It's always scary when you are spending the amounts of money involved in such a major item as a swimming pool. My mind was instantly put at ease by this crew's politeness and professionalism. The guys working on the pool were considerate, humorous and friendly. Even though one of my 17 year old toothless Chihuahuas was constantly trying to floor them and drag them back out of the yard they muscled on. Also very happy with the finished product and the level of concern from Boss Dave and his kind and helpful interaction with my wife. I recommend Add A Splash to everyone who needs this kind of work done. Extremely Professional Crew. 10 stars

We had our pool desinged, organised and built through Mick and Perfect Plunge Pools. We are now 2x years swimming an still happy with our pool. It was built exactly as we asked for. Michael's customer service is second to none! He is a great communicator and reliable. My wife and I have already recommended Perfect Plunge Pools to colleagues and friends, who have also been really happy. It is a shame I haven't been able to find other companies as reliable or with such good attention to detail.

Pleasure Pools

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.

o so happy with our first concrete pool and the Alpha team. From day 1 Phil was amazing with our quoting etc took the time to give us all options and even communicated over the Christmas period. Jacob, Andrew, Steve and all of the trades were fantastic. I haven't dealt with a company like Alpha Pools for a long time where the communication is second to none. It has been a nice change in this day and age. Every step of the way even if someone was running a little late we were advised. To say we are over the moon with our overall result is an understatement. Thanks so much to ALL of the team at Alpha Pools. (Grey marble from Stone Craft and Sea Breeze from Tiles on Bradman)

The team at Better Pools and Spa were fantastic in helping getting our small and complicated pool done. They provided a competitive price and a service that was above our expectations. They worked in with our builder, showing great flexibility and compromise when it came to the construction of the pool which was being done at the same time as our house. The lovely ladies in the office were always pleasant, ready to help and follow up on any questions we had. And Rick, I can not speak highly enough of this man. Top bloke and so easy to work with. Love the pool, thank you Better Pools and Spas

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.
