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.

Add a Splash Pools

reviews

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

Jason has been fantastic. We have an incredibly difficult block and have always thought putting in a pool would be too hard. It may still be that way but Jason came on site within days and has given us all sorts of options and advice, always being upfront about possible problems and cost. He is thoroughly professional and a really decent guy. Hoping we can follow through and get to build with his company.

Rainwise were sooo accomodating and responsive. I needed a pool installed in a matter of weeks (due to access constraints) and they made it work even with a small backyard. The team were great from the get go and even when there was a slight hiccup they worked to find a solution to ensure I was still happy. Overall Im soo happy with the way it has turned out! Can’t wait to jump in and start using it once the weather starts to warm up. Thank you soo much

Aqua Pool & Spa

reviews

Mark, Angela and Glen are fabulous! From the first phone conversation they were helpful and professional. Angela arranged for Glen to come to our home the same day that I rang, Mark phoned me with a quote the next morning, the chlorinator was the problem. I accepted the quote and Glen was here the same day to install the new Australian made chlorinator! Amazing service! Imagine having stock, not having to wait weeks! And being able to install it the day that I accepted the quote! Before I found Aqua I contacted another pool service company I waited two weeks and phoned them three times to get a quote 😩. Needless to say I didn’t go with them! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aqua Pool & Spa Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

You can explore different options, compare quotes, and make informed decisions about building your dream pool without incurring any charges from Poolz. We're here to simplify the process and ensure you have access to the information you need to make the best choice for your pool 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?

No! Rest assured, we prioritise your privacy and the security of your personal information. Your personal details, such as your name, address, and contact information, will only be visible to the three matched pool builders who will be providing you with quotes, as well as the in-house Poolz support team.

We have implemented strict data protection measures to ensure that your information is handled securely and confidentially. At Poolz, we respect your privacy and take all necessary precautions to safeguard your personal details throughout the quote process. Your information is shared only with those directly involved in assisting you with your pool project.
