Pricing guide
Pricing for a new pool is shaped by the construction method and the site itself. Standard packages generally include a basic shell, standard filtration kit and core plumbing, while premium finishes, large-scale landscaping, council permits and specialist remediation are usually extra. Access for excavation or craning and difficult ground (rock or high groundwater) will typically increase the overall scope.
Pool construction method
Concrete on-site shells are generally more labour- and material-intensive than factory fibreglass shells, while above-ground kits usually involve less civil work.
Ground conditions and dewatering
Rock, high groundwater or unstable soils are typically treated as extras and can require additional excavation, rock removal or dewatering work.
Site access and lifting needs
Fibreglass shells often need crane access and constrained sites may require specialist lifting solutions or extra manual handling time.
Interior finish and tiling
Basic interior finishes are included in standard packages, whereas premium tiling, stone or bespoke finishes typically add to the scope.
Landscaping and external works
Major surrounds, landscaping, special features and council permit fees are usually excluded from the core package and can significantly expand the job.
