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.

JJ's Pools & Spas

reviews

Simply outstanding. We have had a number of pools built over the years and had experiences ranging for satisfactory to excellent. Jason and Josie at JJ's Pools and Spas goes one better. Their advice was spot on, the process of construction was seamless and the final product is outstanding. These guys have an attention to detail that is second to none. We have never had a pool of this quality of construction and build. Nothing was too much trouble and at every turn, they have responded to our queries and requests with courtesy and efficiency. It is with no equivocation that we write this referral knowing that these guys are at the top of their game. They have given us a wonderful pool and a strong feeling that we will enjoy it for many years to come. Phil and Chris Warry

Jeff and I were extremely happy with John Forrest and Marvel Pools from start to finish - he helped us with the design and we worked out between us what would suit us and our lifestyle the best. At each stage of the project we were extremely impressed with all tradies that came on-site, they were professional, friendly and worked well to ensure each aspect was finished to a high standard and John was here to oversee it all. Many of our friends and family from all over the world have watched my documented "pool journey" and been impressed and wowed by the finished product....as are we? We highly recommend this company and feel sure you will be as happy as we are if you engage them to undertake your own pool journey. Thanks so much, John and Marvel Pools :-)--

We could not be happier with our Laguna Pool. Mel, Shaun and the Laguna team have provided great service and communication throughout our project and we are so happy with the finish. Laguna provide amazing concrete pools with Infloor cleaning, solar, heaters and the most amazing finishes. We couldn’t have asked for a better team of trades to work with. Thanks Laguna for the best summer fun! We can’t wait to use it!!

I had a brilliant experience with Classic Pools installing an in-ground modular in Brisbane. My block has difficult (steep and narrow) access and the pool site itself is very sloped. Nothing can be craned and custom concrete construction was going to be very challenging and expensive. I had never considered modular as an option until I saw examples of how they can be finished with decking like at the Classic display.

Norfolk Pools

reviews

Norfolk did an amazing job on our pool. All the tradies that work with Norfolk were professional and their attention to detail was exceptional. The ability to be able to ring our Norfolk consultant at any stage of the construction and ask questions was fantastic. I highly recommend the team at Norfolk and the tradies they recommend to complete other works that is required. Thanks Norfolk, Craig and the boys from Outline fencing, Mark the Sparky and Duncan from INsnrg. Clem & Trudy Gribble Nundah Qld

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.

A huge thankyou to everyone at Peressin Pools. This family business is one of the most professional outfits I have ever dealt with. From the first contact through to handover, Peressin have been professional, friendly, on time, super responsive, honest and reliable. They have built us an exceptional quality pool surrounded by a gorgeous paved area. They go the extra mile with their attentiveness and attention to detail. Before embarking on building a pool, we thoroughly researched SA pool builders and couldn't go past Peressin. Their excellent reputation is well deserved.

We understand the importance of timely responses, and we strive to provide you with quotes as quickly as possible. Generally, you can expect to be matched with the best local pool professionals within 1-3 business days after completing the GET QUOTES form on our site.

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.

Are the quotes free?

Absolutely! Obtaining quotes through Poolz is completely free for homeowners. Finding a great local pool builder is hard, so our goal is to make your life easier by connecting you with reputable pool builders who can provide competitive and accurate quotes for your project.

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.

Why does Poolz need my name, email and mobile number?

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! Whilst our real-time price estimate gives you a very good guide as to the price of your pool, until you deal directly with a pool builder, you won't be able to get a more accurate quote.
