Overview

Fully custom concrete pools built to any shape and site.

This guide covers typical costs and what drives them, build timelines, council approval basics, and how to choose a builder — so you can plan concrete pools with confidence.

💡
Homeowner tip
Get at least three itemised quotes and ask each builder for addresses of recent local builds — a reputable builder will happily show past work.

What to look for

A current builders licence (QBCC in QLD, Fair Trading in NSW, or your state equivalent) and insurance.
SPASA membership, a written contract with a clear payment schedule, and a defects warranty.
Recent local builds you can inspect, and realistic timelines that account for council approval.

This is general guidance, not a quote. Always verify a builder's licence and insurance with your state regulator (QBCC, Fair Trading or equivalent) and get a written contract before paying a deposit.
