Question 1

How long does it take to build a pool?

Accepted Answer

The time it takes from designing your pool to commissioning it will depend on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the design, planning approval, and the erection of pool fencing. There may also be uncontrollable factors, such as lost days due to rain or storms. From breaking ground to diving in, the minimum period is 10 weeks, which accounts for the construction process and concrete curing.

Question 2

What does the average pool cost?

Accepted Answer

As long as you have a realistic budget in mind, chances are that we can design a pool to match it.  The specific cost will come down to the pool's complexity and size, as well as site and soil conditions, your choice of finishings and equipment.  Building a pool is one of the most significant home improvements you'll ever make and our aim is to ensure that you maximise your enjoyment and return on investment.

Question 3

How much does it cost to run a pool?

Accepted Answer

The cost of running a pool is contingent on many of factors, such as its size, evaporation rates and whether heating and/or in-floor cleaning is in operation. The good news is that advances in technology have made today's pool equipment incredibly energy efficient. We would also be pleased to talk with you about efficiency features, such as rain-harvesting and pool covers.

Question 4

Is a saltwater pool better than traditional chlorine?

Accepted Answer

Traditional pool chlorination requires adding chemical chlorine tablets or powders to your pool water. Saltwater pools generate chlorine by a process called electrolysis. Saltwater chlorination is generally gentler and less acidic than chemical chlorination. This benefits swimmers, the pool, and surrounds.

Question 5

What are the advantages of a concrete pool?

Accepted Answer

Compared with fibreglass and vinyl liner pools, a concrete pool will provide you with much more design flexibility. A concrete pool can be fully customised to suit your location and provides complete freedom when it comes to size, shape, depth and integrated features, such as planters, fountains, spillways and surrounds. Concrete is durable, low maintenance and consistent with high-quality design.

Question 6

Which interior surface finish is better, aggregate or tile?

Accepted Answer

Aggregate comes in pebble or glass, while tile comes in glass or ceramic. All of these options are attractive and durable, lasting for decades with very little need for maintenance. The choice comes down to your budget and personal taste.

Question 7

Is all work and equipment warrantied?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! All equipment we supply and/or install is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, as well as a guarantee of our workmanship. You also have the added security of QBCC insurance on every project.

Question 8

I have limited room for machinery. Can I still have a concrete pool?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. We regularly work on sites where machinery access is limited, in which case we use smaller equipment, such as Bobcats, during the excavation process.
