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.

Complete Fibreglass Pool Kits

reviews

Rohan and the team at Complete Fibreglass Pool Kits were amazing from start to finish. We wanted a pool and got quotes from traditional pool builders but the costs were way too high so we looked around. After speaking with Rohan several times as he was very accommodating we decided to do the owner builder option and do it ourselves. The information and support along the way was great and no question was too big or small for them. In the end we saved at least $10K on the install and got a bigger pool than quoted by the builders. There is some work involved but its well worth it in the end. Great range of high quality pools and equipment on offer and excellent help along the way. We are so happy with our end result.

reviews

Highly recommend Ocean Breeze Pools!! From start to finish, went above and beyond. I’m a big believer in great communication and these guys had just that. Called prior and delivered every time they said they would be onsite. Even started the pool a week early than expected. The team from Megan and the girls in the office to Paul and his guys onsite are fantastic. Very happy customers here - 5 stars, you won’t be disappointed 👌👌

Nulook Pools

reviews

John and Charissa were great to deal with, so patient having to deal with our council. While it was a long process because of that, once the pool started I couldn't believe how quickly and professionally it went in. John really knows his stuff and is happy to answer calls for even what seems like the silliest question. He has a great team working with him and they are really competitively priced. We highly recommend Nulook Pools.

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.

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.

Cityscapes Pools & Landscapes

reviews

We have had the best experience with Cityscapes Pools. From the initial meeting with Alison we felt like we had made the right decision and investment with the team. The design and contractual process was seamless and once Jules and the team started on the site, we already felt like we were in good, reliable hands. There was never an issue with questions we had or accessibility with both Alison or Jules. The contractors they used on site were professional and courteous. We had small children at home during the construction and the site was always secure and safe for us to continue to use parts of the yard. All in all we just couldn't be happier with the decision we made to put the pool in and landscape the yard. It's been a game changer for our famliy! I would highly recommend Cityscapes!

Banora Pools

reviews

Icing on the cake! We are very happy with the end result, thanks to Banora Pools! We knew it will be challenging for anyone to build our pool due to the slope of our land. The site also provided some challenges in terms of access. But with careful planning and clever design, Banora Pools was able to deliver a stunning pool that integrates seamlessly with our house and the existing landscape. Andrew and the team at Banora Pools are great to work with. Andrew listens to what you want and makes them happen. The quality of work of the subcontractors are of high standard. In the end, we got a beautiful pool that has added value to our home and ambience to our yard. Well worth the cost. Thank you Banora Pools, we will enjoy this now and for years to come!

Riparian Constructions

reviews

We used Ben and his team for our pool construction. The whole process was excellent and top quality from start to finish. The area we had was limited yet Ben came up with a great design and we went with it. Ben spent a bit of time with us even on his weekends to ensure the design was within our needs and the construction started. The entire time through the construction care was taken to ensure no damage to property and the area was kept clean inside our yard and out (even high pressure cleaned dirt on the road, how many builders do this?). The process flowed well the entire time and Ben always kept us in the loop or would answer if we had any questions or concerns. The quote originally supplied was adhered to and there were no surprises delivering the pool on budget and time. In my opinion Riparian Constructions are a Top quality pool builder and highly recommend Ben and the team from Riparian Constructions.

Adelaide Classic Pools

reviews

We had our concrete pool tiled and coping redone. Eric from ACP managed the whole process from start to finish. His management of the job was superb. Eric was on-site everyday and oversaw the workers doing the job to ensure the highest of quality. He is quick to respond to any concerns and has great attention to detail. The quote for the job was very competitive and the end result exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough. I will not call upon anyone else for any future work on our pool besides Adelaide Classic Pools. They are simply the best.

We require your address to provide you with accurate and relevant information for your pool project.
