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

As experienced Cheltenham pool builders know, the dry season in Cheltenham, Melbourne is the best time of year to build a swimming pool. From December to March, Cheltenham experiences less rainfall than the rest of the year. As a result, the weather is more conducive to outdoor pool building, and construction can be done with fewer delays.

Unfortunately, this period also coincides with the busiest period of the year for pool building, when demand for pool building is highest in Cheltenham. As a result, builders may be more likely to be booked up, and pool building costs can be higher.

To avoid these delays and cost increases, it is best to start the pool building process early and book it in well before summer starts. Get quotes from the best Cheltenham pool builders with Poolz today.

I highly recommend Dominic Schuiling & his team from Momentum Pools, from early stages of the design, quotation right through to construction & handover they have exceeded our requirements and expectations. From working with Lee in the early stages of excavation, Tom who puts in (going above and beyond, outside work hours) along with all the other various contractors, right through to Kelly in the office processing the paperwork and supporting my queries and questions. Momentums attention to detail and quality is second to none, all finishes and workmanship is impeccable and impressive. The project was a massive undertaking, with other elements and the team worked with us to complete within a short period of time. Extremely professional company and no task that you ask of them was too difficult or challenging. Momentum Pools have created a space and lifestyle that will create many family memories for years to come. We love our pool and thank you Momentum, Regards Joe, Kendall and Family

I could not be happier with our pool and spa. It has been installed for just over a year now and everything works perfectly, including the amazing in-floor cleaning and Connect 10 system which I wouldn't trade for the world. The team was awesome to deal with before and after the install and I highly recommend them. If we move homes in the future I'd certainly use the team again to install a new pool and spa. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Compass Pools Melbourne and their team members Amy Bronwyn Daniel Paul and Xavier. From concept to final inspection the staff were patient, helpful, knowledgeable and that resulted in a great outcome for my family because we have never had a pool before. The decision to install the inbuilt cleaning has been a very sensible decision because the pool has been minimal maintenance for my family. Highly recommend Compass Pools as as a full start to finish service provider.

Five stars for Blue Pools and Jean! Highly recommend! I absolutely LOVE the pool that Jean designed and that Blue Pools built for us. I spoke with multiple other pool companies before going with Blue Pools and can confirm that the professionalism, communication and overall cost of a pool with Blue Pools is far better then anything else out there! I am so thankful to Jean for his advise and recommendations on so many aspects of our pool, he really is the pool expert! His ideas for the shape of our pool (he took into consideration the slight angle of our block of land), the colour of the tiles, the filter system (he recommended a freshwater pool system due to our families allergies) were so considered and they have resulted in us having the most incredible pool and we could not be happier. I feel like Jean was invested in us having the best possible pool for our space and needs. Other pool companies we spoke with didn't have this level of care. Jean's communication was also so much better than any other company I spoke with and he was super patient with me and all the million questions I had along the way! If you're looking to get a pool, get it with Blue Pools!

Choosing Striking Pools to construct our pool was the best decision we made. From the first meeting to handover, Chris and Liam have been fantastic to deal with. Our pool was not easy, but they took on the challenge and delivered a stunning pool with a huge wow factor! The attention to detail, communication and service was outstanding. We used Landart for the landscaping which meant that all works were coordinated and seamless. Huge thanks to Jack and his team, rail, hail or shine, they were on site. Highly recommended Striking Pools to deliver your dream pool. Thanks guys.

Why do you need so much information to match me?
Curved Arrow Icon

No two pools are the same, so we need to know a little about you and the location you plan to build in order to help you.

The pool build location

We ask for your address for the following reasons:

  • your property, pool positioning and soil conditions have a big impact on pricing and vary on every pool
  • pricing varies in different areas.

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. Every pool build location is different and there isn’t a single pool builder who will provide an accurate quote without seeing your property.

With your permission, we share the information you’ve provided with the matched pool professionals to help kick-start your project quickly.

Pools come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, and the pricing can vary significantly. By understanding your pool preferences and specific requirements, we can match you with builders who specialise in building the type of pool you desire. 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.
