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.

Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living

reviews

After hearing many horror stories about pool companies and how bad a reputation the industry had, we were very wary of finding a company to deliver exactly what we wanted without blowing our budget. Then we met Jason and the team at Luxury Pools and Outdoor living who met all our expectations and more. The project was a seamless operation from the start and all completed well within the time frame, even with COVID and the construction industry temporarily shut down. All the trades contracted under Luxury Pools are all extremely talented at their craft and all round nice guys. Matt the Foreman was so easy to deal with and made the project run smoothly from start to finish, nothing was too hard to modify or too much trouble. I can highly recommend the team at Luxury Pools. They promised us a luxury pool and that’s what they delivered.

Active Pools & Spas

reviews

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're so happy with our plunge pool. It is honestly one of the best purchases we have ever made. We got so lucky with Mike from WA Plunge Pools. From start to finish he made everything so easy and stress free. Mike really knows his stuff and he was happy to answer ALL our questions no matter how silly we thought they were and really made the whole process enjoyable from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a plunge pool. We could not be happier!! Sharon & Wayne Eastough, Ellenbrook

Jill & Rob from the sales team were amazing from start to finish. Our pool was constructed during flood & covid, which created some frustrations. However the end product was more than we could have hoped for. Well done to the team at profile pools. Troy and his onsite team were amazing too.

Paradise Pools

reviews

From the moment we contacted Paradise Pools they were nothing but excellent. They were always on time, always contactable and always friendly. They clearly explained everything that was going to happen, how and why. There were no hidden fees or charges. The build and install went perfectly. Their site supervisor Isaac was nothing short of AMAZING. The install ran like a dream and he was always there making sure we were happy and the others working knew what to do. I would 10/10 build a pool with them again.

Concept Pools

reviews

We rang to make a first time contact appointment, Graham was there that very day, at the exact time he said. We sat down around our flood damaged fibreglass pool and discussed the options of a concrete pool. Graham understood our problems and was very helpful in explaining how to solve our dilemma. Within 15 minutes he measured it up, and gave us a quote to remove the old pool and install a new one. He said think about it, and give me a call. We decided then and there to go ahead. He gave us a time frame, which was done to the day. We highly recommend Concept Pools, from first contact, to completion they were exceptional. Thank you Graham, Chris and team….you made the whole process so easy. We love our new pool

Brilliant Pools

reviews

Bob from Brilliant took us through the design & planning of our new concrete pool. Bill organised the building process. The end product speaks for itself - a high quality job at a reasonable price - that accommodated a few design changes as we went. Bob & Bill are experienced, available to answer questions and don't give you the runaround. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering a concrete pool or repairing one

Evoke Pools

reviews

We are very happy with our pool. Sally has always responded very quickly to our enquiries and provided us with a lot of information. Dean installed our pool much sooner than we thought would be possible, so we are very happy. There was a problem with ground water which Dean and his team dealt with very swiftly. Great family business, would definitely recommend Evoke Pools.

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.

In order to get accurate quotes, you will need to invite the pool pro's to your house to inspect your site and discuss your pool in more detail. 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.

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.

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!
