A single expert site visit

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.

reviews

I had Greenview Pools and Landscapes come in to landscape my backyard, I found them very easy to deal with from quoting to finished product. Nathan has a lot of knowledge and helped me make decisions about what worked well for my garden. The work was completed as described, the other members of the team were polite and left my backyard clean and tidy. I am really happy with the work that has been completed.

Kinetic Pools

reviews

We had our pool installed in August 2022. The whole process was fast and efficient and the quality of work was exemplary. I appreciated that the quotes included everything you actually needed to build the pool first time, rather than providing a low quote and continually adding on extras. The final build cost was as we expected, so no nasty surprises. The whole team were great to deal with and nothing was stressful, even when some plans had to be changed. Now we have the pool we had dreamt about for so many years. I would highly recommend Kinetic pools.

Ben offered excellent expertise and a great design solution to our tricky space. The best feature is the beach entry, perfect for our small kids! He was reliable and honest and our pool was completed in the time period promised. We would highly recommend Riparian Constructions and couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Bellevista Pools

reviews

A fantastic experience from start to finish. I had several pool builders come and quote. Some didn’t respond back with a quote, others got the plans wrong or promised the world that ended up not being possible. I had a split level block with 900mm access with several underground sewer pipes. Richard was the only one who was straight talking, knew what he was doing and laid out clear plans that would work for the space. His contractors were all respectful and tidy, they all worked fast and in the time Richard had allowed. I decided to change our fencing half way though and Richard was very helpful and happy to adjust during the build. The dig started mid January 2022 and we where swimming by mid March 2022. Richard and Paula are genuinely interested in making you the best pool for the money you want to spend. We had no hidden costs along the way. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Bluestar Pools for your efforts in making our tired pool look modern and new. From beginning right through to the end Michael and his team worked tirelessly to bring about this fantastic transformation. I would have no hesitation in recommending BlueStar for all your pool requirements. Michael and his team were always willing to answer any questions we had and their advice was very professional.

reviews

Rohan, Fiona and Jo have been fantastic to deal with. They are very professional, helpful and efficient. Rohan will answer all your questions and always returns calls promptly if unavailable. Fiona and Jo have kept me updated on product availability and delivery for some extra items we ordered and always keep us well informed. No problem or question is too big or small. The pool itself is amazing, we are so happy with it and have had so many comments on how good it looks and the quality. The crane hire company we used said it’s the best quality fibreglass pool they’ve seen. Definitely recommend going through Rohan and his team at Complete Fibreglass Pools if you’re looking at installing your own pool.

Harrison's Landscaping

4.8

reviews

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.

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.

Rest assured that we handle your personal information with the utmost care and privacy, adhering to strict security measures to safeguard your data. We respect your privacy and will never share your information without your consent.

Will my personal details be visible to everyone?
