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.

Malibu Pools just finished a pool for my wife and I in Cannon Hill. I am extremely happy with the pool, its exactly what we wanted. Gary and his team did a fantastic job. The project took 6 weeks from start to finish and the outcome is fantastic. Communication was maintained throughout the project and we were kept well informed at each step. If you are thinking about building a pool - talk to Malibu. If you want to see our pool or have any questions about our experience with Gary and Malibu please get Malibu to put you in touch with us. Thank you Malibu!!!

Harrison's Landscaping

reviews

Harrison's are an exceptional company to work with. They designed, landscaped and built our new backyard which included a pool build. They listened to the brief and came up with a beautiful design - we couldn't be happier. Harrison's are very professional, made the whole DA process super easy and Sam, Ben and the construction team were fantastic to deal with. The whole team were. They met all deadlines and kept to the agreed budget. We have since rehired them to complete an additional BBQ area that we did not include in the original build. Both projects have worked beautifully together and the backyard is now a wonderful space to spend time in. Highly recommend.

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

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

If you are looking for an honest, professional, efficient and friendly team to install your pool, look no further. From the outset, the service was impeccable. We were shown some prior installations to assist us in deciding colour, shape etc. No hidden costs during the build process. We were constantly updated during the installation process, making this a very pleasurable experience. Thank you Adrian and the entire Nepean Pool team for making this experience an easy and hassle free one. If we knew that installing a pool could be this painless, we would have done it years ago.

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!
