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.

Malibu Pools & Spas (NSW)

reviews

Shane and Catherine at Malibu have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Building a pool is both costly and timely, but our experience was enjoyable as their customer service and support throughout the build gave us piece of mind. Shane’s expertise and contacts within the industry made getting things done on schedule a breeze. Catherine’s friendly and patient customer service went above and beyond our expectations. They always answered our calls and worked with us on making sure we were happy with the end product. We are so happy with our pool and the quality of the finishes and would highly recommend Malibu if you are considering a custom concrete pool.

Darwin Fibreglass Pools & Spas

4.8

reviews

Gary, Dave and the team at Darwin fibreglass pools and spas provided us exceptional service from our order, through to delivery and after purchase support. We purchased the lagoon pool and within three months it was installed and ready to be used. Gary initially paid us a visit to talk about our requirements and was very helpful. During install the team worked hard to ensure nothing was missed and we were swimming in no time. The after sales support was fantastic with great communication. The reason we chose a fibreglass pool was for the long life and ease of cleaning. They do not become as dirty as concrete pools which require scrubbing. By far we are so very happy with the service and we look forward to working with the team once again for a spa replacement in the coming years and even the possibility of more swimming pools on our property. Thank you team and look forward to seeing you on our next pool water sample.

Adelaide Classic Pools

reviews

We had our concrete pool tiled and coping redone. Eric from ACP managed the whole process from start to finish. His management of the job was superb. Eric was on-site everyday and oversaw the workers doing the job to ensure the highest of quality. He is quick to respond to any concerns and has great attention to detail. The quote for the job was very competitive and the end result exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough. I will not call upon anyone else for any future work on our pool besides Adelaide Classic Pools. They are simply the best.

reviews

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
