What are standard inclusions when building a pool in Queensland?

Queensland pool builders generally include these items with all new swimming pool projects.

Excavation

Pool builders in Queensland 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 don’t initially want pool heating, most Queensland 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 lighting

Most Queensland pool builders will include at least one blue pool light or one LED light. If you select to go with higher quality pool builder in Queensland, you can expect two LED multicolour lights as a standard inclusion.

Coping tiles

Coping tiles are a standard part of every pool build, however pool builders in Queensland will vary in terms of the type and quality of coping tiles they provide from concrete or travertine to custom drop face.

Pool cleaner

Pool builders in Queensland will provide pool cleaning equipment to all new pool owners. Whether it’s a pole and vacuum head, an automated cleaner or a robotic cleaner will depend on the builder quality you select.

QBCC Insurance

All licensed pool builders in Queensland are required to include the premium for insurance through the Home Warranty Insurance Scheme which is compulsory for all domestic building projects valued at more than $3,300.

When is the best time to build a new pool in Queensland?

As experienced Queensland pool builders know, the dry season is the best time of year to build a swimming pool. This is because the dry season in QLD (which runs from May to October) has less rainfall, less humidity and milder temperatures than other times of the year.

This means that the pool construction process can be carried out with fewer interruptions from bad weather and the pool can be filled with water faster. However, the warmer summer months are usually the time of year when demand for pool builders in Queensland is at its highest which can lead to longer waiting times and higher costs.

Ingmar and his team at Legends Build Group did a excellent job of renovating our bathroom which required the demolition of walls, complete replacement of floor to ceiling tiles, transforming a sunken shower recess into modern level access, and more. The team took great care to seal the rest of the property off from the inevitable dust fallout, and were most courteous and amenable at all times. We are very happy indeed with our new bathroom. Thank you Legends!

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.

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!

Factory Pools

As part of this project we shopped around for Pool builders, as we where on a budget we looked at price first, Factory pools came in thousands under the rest and we thought they must not be that good then so then we looked at customer reviews, Factory pools had lots of good reviews so we took the plunge. They were great from start to finish, they explained each stage so we really understood how the process would go and they put as at ease by happily answering all our questions. They do this everyday and we have done it just this one time and they gave us much needed advice. Each team of people we dealt with were fantastic, from the guys who dug the hole to the ladies in the accounts department and everyone in between. We would happily recommend them every time. Thanks everyone at Factory pools, great job and a pleasure dealing with you. Here`s a few pics from the begging to the end of our pool build.

When you provide your address, we are able to assist you far more effectively and provide you with more accurate information.

Your personal details

Whilst Poolz gives you an instant price estimate, in order to get an accurate quote from a local builder, they need to get in touch with you to arrange a site inspection.

This ensures that you receive accurate quotes from builders who can bring your vision to life.

All the information we ask from you is necessary and helps to ensure we provide you with the best possible outcome. We don’t ask anything a pool builder won’t ask if you went directly to them. Rest assured that the information you provide is securely handled and used solely for the purpose of delivering the best pool-building experience for you.
