Our Pool Installation Process

Your New Fibreglass Pool… EASY!

1. Discovery & Assessment

  • Reach out to us at 1300 30 60 11 or request a call back
  • Learn about our fibreglass pools and installation process
  • Get a rough cost estimate
  • Simply reach out to our friendly team, and we’ll give you a quick call back to discuss our range of fibreglass pools and the construction process. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have.

If you haven’t already taken advantage of viewing our online pricing (we are not aware of any other company that can provide this for you), we can give you perhaps a more expanded estimate of the total cost, including installation.

Note: A site visit is required before a formal, detailed quote can be provided.

Keep reading to learn about what a standard fibreglass pool construction process looks like. Just keep in mind, this can vary based on the install location and workload required for your specific pool.  

2. Initial Site Visit & Quote

  • Schedule site visit

  • Discuss important details and take measurements

  • Receive formal quote and timeframe

During this step, we’ll schedule a site visit to your home. This is the perfect time to discuss important factors with our team, like size, shape, exact install location, and site access for your pool (we obviously can help to whatever degree you need in this process).

Once you’ve made a final decision, we’ll take some measurements and provide you with a formal quote and timeframe for your new pool!

3. Pre-Construction

  • Certifications
  • Soil testing
  • Inspections

The third phase starts with signing the contract and paying the deposit. 

Congratulations, you’re about to become a pool owner! Certifications and soil testing happen next, followed by fire ant (where applicable) inspections.  

4. Construction

Construction management review of:

  • Pool’s position and height above ground
  • Construction access points
  • Equipment size needed for excavation and craning
  • Suitable place to deliver the shell before lifting

Approximately one week before pool construction starts, you’ll get a visit from the construction manager (and/or the assistant construction manager). They’ll be at your home to review several things, including the pool’s position and height relative to the surrounding area, construction access points, the size of excavation and craning equipment needed, and a suitable place to deliver the shell before lifting.

5. Pool Installation

Day 1

  • Pre-installation sign off
  • Safety audit
  • Excavation
  • Pool shell delivery and pre-plumbing
  • Temporary fencing install

It’s time to install your new pool! On the first day, you’ll complete the pre-installation sign-off. This simply confirms that all elements of the job are in line with the contract and no final changes are required. A safety audit is then conducted before excavation begins. The excavation takes about one day.

From there, your fibreglass pool shell arrives and is pre-plumbed with the pipework and lighting needed. We’ll also install temporary fencing to ensure site safety at all times.

Day 2

  • Pool shell craned into place and connected
  • Backfill added
  • Addition of water
  • Site cleanup

On the last day of your pool construction, the shell gets craned into position and connected to the filter. Then, the backfill process begins to secure the pool in place. At this time, water is added at the same rate to maintain equal pressure.

*The timing indicated can change for larger pools and more difficult sites and other unknown possibilities.  

6. Post Pool Installation

  • 24-72 hrs post-installation: vacuum pool, add chemicals, set filtration timers, clean site
  • 7-14 days post-installation: add structural concrete beam and extra concreting if applicable
  • 2-5 days post-concrete install: lay pavers
    Add water feature (if applicable)
  • 2-3 days post-paver completion: take fencing measurements
  • 14 days post-paver completion: install fencing *
  • Remove temporary fencing *
  • Add chemical doses and clean pool
  • Conduct final site clean prior to handover
    * At times before handover at other times after handover as agreed with the customer

About 24-72 hours after your new pool is installed, our team will vacuum your pool, add the required chemicals, set filtration timers and perform another site clean.

Then, within 7-14 days of installation, we’ll add the structural concrete beam around your pool, along with any other concrete that’s included in your contract. Once that’s done, within 2-5 days, we’ll lay down pavers (generally at a maximum of around 20m squared per workday).

If you’ve chosen to have a water feature, sometime during the paving lay process, we’ll construct this feature. Then, within 2-3 days of paving completion, our fencing contractor (if engaged) will come on-site to take final measurements for your permanent pool fencing. Fencing is generally complete within 2 weeks of the paving being completed.

At this time, we’ll remove the temporary fencing, complete the initial chemical dosing and clean your new pool. We’ll then clean the site a second time to ensure no debris is left and your new pool area looks immaculate.  

7. Final Handover

Within 5-7 days of the installation being finalised, a Handover Technician will arrive to do the formal handover of your brand new pool! This generally takes around 1 hour and will include:

  • A final check and adjustment of pool chemicals to make sure your pool is swim-ready
  • A run-through of how to use your new pool equipment
  • General discussion about the installation process, maintenance best practices and upkeep
  • Answering any questions you may have

From the commencement of on-site excavation to the final handover, it generally takes 14-28 days (excluding any minor delays caused by the permanent fencing installation). Keep in mind, this can be longer in peak periods or for more difficult projects.
