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

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.

Craig at Narellan Sunshine Coast answered my hundreds of questions & patiently guided me through the process. Liam was on site almost always to make sure construction was completed according to plan. Mark was very knowledgeable & also very patient whilst teaching me about all the equipment at handover so that I’m able to maintain the pool by myself. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Everyone was so professional & patient from day one to completion.

Alpha Pools

reviews

We were understandably nervous about installing our first concrete, fully tiled pool and spa. We were after a resort style pool. After speaking with John at Alpha Pools, we were soon put at ease. We showed John our basic design and he did the rest. The whole team at Alpha Pools are very professional, always friendly, and they sure know about modern pools. John, Phil, Connie, Marina, Andrew and Dion (their perfectionist tiler) made our experience pleasant and even fun. We wanted the pool of our dreams and its exactly what we got, on time and on budget with zero hidden costs. Huge thanks to everyone at Alpha Pools.

Harrison's Landscaping

reviews

Harrison's are an exceptional company to work with. They designed, landscaped and built our new backyard which included a pool build. They listened to the brief and came up with a beautiful design - we couldn't be happier. Harrison's are very professional, made the whole DA process super easy and Sam, Ben and the construction team were fantastic to deal with. The whole team were. They met all deadlines and kept to the agreed budget. We have since rehired them to complete an additional BBQ area that we did not include in the original build. Both projects have worked beautifully together and the backyard is now a wonderful space to spend time in. Highly recommend.

Jason has been fantastic. We have an incredibly difficult block and have always thought putting in a pool would be too hard. It may still be that way but Jason came on site within days and has given us all sorts of options and advice, always being upfront about possible problems and cost. He is thoroughly professional and a really decent guy. Hoping we can follow through and get to build with his company.

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.
