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.

reviews

Shane and the team at Rainwise were fantastic to deal with for the purchase and installation of our pool, the whole process was seamless and stress free. We had to reschedule our installation date on mutiple occassions due to delays with the house build, however this never posed a problem. Their trades were great, friendly, and always arriving on time. It was evident that they took pride in their work, ensuring a quality outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rainwise to anyone if you're in the market for a pool!

reviews

We were so pleased we selected Solution Pools to build our pool. Aaron was great to deal with. He not only has great knowledge of pool construction but is genuinely a nice person which gave us confidence throughout the entire design and build process. Even after handover, he was contacting us to see how everything was going and providing assistance with the testing and chemicals required. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and would not hesitate in recommending Solution Pools to anyone.

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.

Conquest Pools Mornington Peninsula

reviews

Nigel, Craig and the team at Conquest were fantastic. Nigel came out and helped us with the design concept, his background in landscape design was invaluable. the rest of the team were really professional, so nice to deal with and extremely hard working. We also engaged the landscaping arm of Nigel's team (Graeme and Dion) to build out retaining walls, paving, fencing and batten screen. Fantastic attention to detail, again, super hard working and the end result was everything we could have hoped for. We can't recommend Conquest Pools Mornington Peninsula enough

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.

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.
