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.
