How much does it cost to build a pool?

The most popular pool designs in Australia cost between $55,000 and $65,000. This includes the build and installation of the pool shell, coping tiles, pump, filter and chlorinator on a flat block of land with good access. Additional tiling, fencing and items such as heating are extra costs.

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.

o so happy with our first concrete pool and the Alpha team. From day 1 Phil was amazing with our quoting etc took the time to give us all options and even communicated over the Christmas period. Jacob, Andrew, Steve and all of the trades were fantastic. I haven't dealt with a company like Alpha Pools for a long time where the communication is second to none. It has been a nice change in this day and age. Every step of the way even if someone was running a little late we were advised. To say we are over the moon with our overall result is an understatement. Thanks so much to ALL of the team at Alpha Pools. (Grey marble from Stone Craft and Sea Breeze from Tiles on Bradman)

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

Peter from Adelaide Classic Pools was great to work with in addition the team who re-tiled the pool did an impeccable job. The pool looks amazing and the work was completed in a very timely manner in a matter of days. The cost was also good value compared to three other quotes we received. All in all it was a great result from start to finish and I could not recommend them enough for a pool refurb. James N

Although we had to wait a whole year for our pool build the staff at century pools were very professional at their job and knew exactly what they were doing. I did find I was chasing them at different stages of my build but communication was excellent and I guess it is just the fact that they are so busy. Our pool was functional as promised by Xmas and fully completed end of January. They also laid an extra big slab for my new shed to house my filtration at no extra charge.

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 :-)--

Five stars for Blue Pools and Jean! Highly recommend! I absolutely LOVE the pool that Jean designed and that Blue Pools built for us. I spoke with multiple other pool companies before going with Blue Pools and can confirm that the professionalism, communication and overall cost of a pool with Blue Pools is far better then anything else out there! I am so thankful to Jean for his advise and recommendations on so many aspects of our pool, he really is the pool expert! His ideas for the shape of our pool (he took into consideration the slight angle of our block of land), the colour of the tiles, the filter system (he recommended a freshwater pool system due to our families allergies) were so considered and they have resulted in us having the most incredible pool and we could not be happier. I feel like Jean was invested in us having the best possible pool for our space and needs. Other pool companies we spoke with didn't have this level of care. Jean's communication was also so much better than any other company I spoke with and he was super patient with me and all the million questions I had along the way! If you're looking to get a pool, get it with Blue Pools!

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.

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.

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!
