2

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.
3

Quotes from trusted builders

We send your plan to vetted builders who quote the exact same design - making comparisons clear and fair.
4

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.

Perth Pool Co

A massive thank you to Neil and his team for coming in and fixing our pool. It has been a dissapointing mess to look at since our installer emptied our cracked pool in winter causing massive damage to the floor. We were left with an empty, cracked pool. Most pool places told me they couldn't help, so Perth Pool Co must have been my 10th phone call. They immediately said they could fix it and told me everything they needed to do, and sent me a detailed quote. Neil was knowledgeable, and took a lot of time and pride in his work. Absolutely would recommend to anyone needing repairs or resurfacing work done.

Harrison's Landscaping

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 had a great experience from sale to installation. Miranda in sales hooked us up with referrals for extra trades and everyone worked seamlessly together. Very responsive - I had loads of questions throughout. When we hit water during dig, Laurence the site supervisor was on hand and we quickly laid out all solutions and ended up slightly raising the level of our pool area with no delay to schedule. It also turned out to look so much better all round. Installation team, led by Carlo was great and handover tech Ray was fantastic - he should star in a handover video. We count ourselves lucky. Good price, great service, terrific pool. Very happy, just waiting for fence to go in.

To buy and install a pool was both a daunting decision and a major investment which is why it was so reassuring to have Alicia looking after the whole process. The amazing team at Bostock Pools were an absolute delight to deal with. At every stage from their quotes, site inspection , pool delivery / install their professionalism & experience was on show. Any unforeseen issues / problems that inevitably arise were handled professionally and promptly. We now have ,not only a beautiful pool but also a new relaxed lifestyle around our finished pool.

We have built our pool with Rod Hardy Plunge Pool. We are very happy with the final outcome and the whole process. Rod was very supportive, providing suggestions and making the complex project very clear and easy to follow. Rod and his team are very professional and definitely know all about pools and construction. I am impressed with excellent quality and great attention to details. In addition, all work had been carried carefully and such major construction had a minimal impact on already established garden. Highly recommend Rod Hardy Plunge Pool. Well done !!!

We looked around for a pool company to undertake the design and installation of a fibreglass pool for our backyard in sawtell. We come across Active Pools and Spas in Coffs Harbour, and we are so glad we did. Don't look elsewhere, Andy & Keisha are a fantastic family run business. They are highly organised with exceptional communication with the clients, nothing was a bother to them. They organised everything for the project with the delivery of the pool, the dig, installation and pavers all ready for us to enjoy in time for summer. There team of trades are again fantastic and so professional we tell everyone, who is talking about installing a pool, dont look elsewhere, go straight to Active pools and spas. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tony & Lisa Kerfoot

We couldn’t be happier with our pool renovation. Anthony and his team helped us bring an old, non-compliant pool back to life in what was a very challenging project. Each challenge was met with creative and thoughtful solutions and the end result has been fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Pools!
