When is the best time to build a new pool in Australian Capital Territory?

As experienced ACT pool builders know, the dry season in the area is January to April making this the best time to build a swimming pool. During this time, there is less rainfall and a warmer climate, ideal for getting a pool installed. This also means that the ground is less wet and muddy, which is ideal for pool construction.

As demand for pool builders is highest in the summer months, it is advised to get quotes from pool builders sooner rather than later, as this could not only reduce costs but also ensure a shorter build timeframe. Get quotes from the best ACT pool builders with Poolz today.

NU LOOK pools installed my pool 4 years ago. At the time I was very impressed with their work. My opinion has not changed since then. I have rung them several times over the last 4 years and they are always happy to answer questions and offer advice and solutions. If you are thinking of getting a pool, these are the people you want doing the job.

John and Charissa were great to deal with, so patient having to deal with our council. While it was a long process because of that, once the pool started I couldn't believe how quickly and professionally it went in. John really knows his stuff and is happy to answer calls for even what seems like the silliest question. He has a great team working with him and they are really competitively priced. We highly recommend Nulook Pools.

Can’t rate Brad and the team highly enough. We had major issues with our pool and were badly let down by another Canberra supplier. Their support has been excellent, and they are very competitive on price.

Choosing Nulook pools was the best and easiest decision we made. The whole process was smooth and easy. I know this isn’t always the case with pool installs but John and Charissa made sure everything ran smoothly, everything was on time and they were so patient with us (still are when we call with silly questions!). Just honest and great people with a fantastic team working with them. I will recommend them to anyone. Thank you again to John and Charissa, forever grateful!
