When is the best time to build a new pool in Queensland?

As experienced Queensland pool builders know, the dry season is the best time of year to build a swimming pool. This is because the dry season in QLD (which runs from May to October) has less rainfall, less humidity and milder temperatures than other times of the year.

This means that the pool construction process can be carried out with fewer interruptions from bad weather and the pool can be filled with water faster. However, the warmer summer months are usually the time of year when demand for pool builders in Queensland is at its highest which can lead to longer waiting times and higher costs.

reviews

Icing on the cake! We are very happy with the end result, thanks to Banora Pools! We knew it will be challenging for anyone to build our pool due to the slope of our land. The site also provided some challenges in terms of access. But with careful planning and clever design, Banora Pools was able to deliver a stunning pool that integrates seamlessly with our house and the existing landscape. Andrew and the team at Banora Pools are great to work with. Andrew listens to what you want and makes them happen. The quality of work of the subcontractors are of high standard. In the end, we got a beautiful pool that has added value to our home and ambience to our yard. Well worth the cost. Thank you Banora Pools, we will enjoy this now and for years to come!

Wahoo Pool & Landscapes

reviews

We are most grateful to John and Cathy, the owners and directors of Wahoo Pool and Landscape Construction – who have overseen the design, planning, construction and completion of our beautiful pool. In one word – exceptional! We were so impressed with how such a major project could be done in a very calm, systematic and professional way. Everybody involved obviously enjoys the work they do, and their expertise was first class. We thank the entire Wahoo team and all the associated trades who contributed to our project. First impressions certainly count. At the very beginning, we met with Grace (landscape architect) who went above and beyond, working out the best design and location for our pool and pavilion (taking into account the sun, the breezes and our Frangipani tree!). This positive experience was consistent with everyone we engaged with – including Travis (the pool whisperer), Adam (logistics), Jeanette (coordination), Jayson (tiling), Mark (carpentry), Shaun (plumbing) and Brendan (electrical). For our family, we know that our new outdoor pool and living area will give us many years of enjoyment with friends and family. Thank you Wahoo for making this dream a reality.

Norfolk did an amazing job on our pool. All the tradies that work with Norfolk were professional and their attention to detail was exceptional. The ability to be able to ring our Norfolk consultant at any stage of the construction and ask questions was fantastic. I highly recommend the team at Norfolk and the tradies they recommend to complete other works that is required. Thanks Norfolk, Craig and the boys from Outline fencing, Mark the Sparky and Duncan from INsnrg. Clem & Trudy Gribble Nundah Qld

Although we had to wait a whole year for our pool build the staff at century pools were very professional at their job and knew exactly what they were doing. I did find I was chasing them at different stages of my build but communication was excellent and I guess it is just the fact that they are so busy. Our pool was functional as promised by Xmas and fully completed end of January. They also laid an extra big slab for my new shed to house my filtration at no extra charge.

What an amazing Team! Bellevista Pools were the first we contacted and didn't even bother looking at others. Paula and Richard are a credit to the Pool Building industry. Despite many weather setbacks and changes in our design, Richard was very accommodating and responsive with great advice. Paula was an absolute whirlwind in the office, full of energy and very conscious of working within our budget. We highly recommend Bellevista Pools.

We were so pleased we selected Solution Pools to build our pool. Aaron was great to deal with. He not only has great knowledge of pool construction but is genuinely a nice person which gave us confidence throughout the entire design and build process. Even after handover, he was contacting us to see how everything was going and providing assistance with the testing and chemicals required. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and would not hesitate in recommending Solution Pools to anyone.
