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

As experienced Melbourne pool builders will tell you, the summer months from October to March offer drier weather, making this the ideal time to build a new swimming pool.

The lower rainfall during these months means there are fewer disruptions to the pool building process, which can help to keep costs down and ensure the project runs more smoothly. Unfortunately, summer is also the time when demand for pool builders is highest, which can impact prices and timelines.

To ensure you get the best price and the pool of your dreams, start shopping around for quotes from experienced pool builders months in advance. Get quotes from the best Melbourne pool builders with Poolz today.

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.

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.

The team from Momentum pools did a fantastic job with our pool and spa. we are extremely happy with the outcome of the project. Momentum pools certainly lived up to the recommendations we received from other customers of theirs. They stuck to their quote and even did additional work not included in the original scope of work without charge. We were kept in the loop throughout the project and any questions were promptly answered. It really was a pleasure to deal with Momentum Pools.

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

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!
