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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Highly recommend Dean Thomas Pools, we couldn't be happier with our pool! Dean works on site with his team, ensuring a high standard of work. Dean takes pride in his work and follows through with everything on time. Communication is amazing, we were always made aware of what to expect. We were hoping for a pool for Christmas and Dean, Al and team made it happen! I'm sure we'll have many happy years of swimming. If you're thinking of getting a pool, you really should choose Dean Thomas Pools, as soon as you meet the team you will know you've made the right decision.

If you need to replace the vinyl on your in-ground pool this is the company to go with. Highly professional, excellent customer service, brilliant job and all done by a bunch of blokes who are really good at what they do and obviously enjoy doing it perfectly. Cannot recommend them any higher
