Shane and the team at Rainwise were fantastic to deal with for the purchase and installation of our pool, the whole process was seamless and stress free. We had to reschedule our installation date on mutiple occassions due to delays with the house build, however this never posed a problem. Their trades were great, friendly, and always arriving on time. It was evident that they took pride in their work, ensuring a quality outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rainwise to anyone if you're in the market for a pool!

We are so happy with our beautiful concrete pool from Seaspray Pools. All staff have been easy to deal with and were very supportive during a stressful start to the build which was completely out of their control. The final result is exactly what we envisaged and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks Seaspray!

Choosing Striking Pools to construct our pool was the best decision we made. From the first meeting to handover, Chris and Liam have been fantastic to deal with. Our pool was not easy, but they took on the challenge and delivered a stunning pool with a huge wow factor! The attention to detail, communication and service was outstanding. We used Landart for the landscaping which meant that all works were coordinated and seamless. Huge thanks to Jack and his team, rail, hail or shine, they were on site. Highly recommended Striking Pools to deliver your dream pool. Thanks guys.

I could not be happier with our pool and spa. It has been installed for just over a year now and everything works perfectly, including the amazing in-floor cleaning and Connect 10 system which I wouldn't trade for the world. The team was awesome to deal with before and after the install and I highly recommend them. If we move homes in the future I'd certainly use the team again to install a new pool and spa. Keep up the great work.

Five stars for Blue Pools and Jean! Highly recommend! I absolutely LOVE the pool that Jean designed and that Blue Pools built for us. I spoke with multiple other pool companies before going with Blue Pools and can confirm that the professionalism, communication and overall cost of a pool with Blue Pools is far better then anything else out there! I am so thankful to Jean for his advise and recommendations on so many aspects of our pool, he really is the pool expert! His ideas for the shape of our pool (he took into consideration the slight angle of our block of land), the colour of the tiles, the filter system (he recommended a freshwater pool system due to our families allergies) were so considered and they have resulted in us having the most incredible pool and we could not be happier. I feel like Jean was invested in us having the best possible pool for our space and needs. Other pool companies we spoke with didn't have this level of care. Jean's communication was also so much better than any other company I spoke with and he was super patient with me and all the million questions I had along the way! If you're looking to get a pool, get it with Blue Pools!

The team from Momentum pools did a fantastic job with our pool and spa. we are extremely happy with the outcome of the project. Momentum pools certainly lived up to the recommendations we received from other customers of theirs. They stuck to their quote and even did additional work not included in the original scope of work without charge. We were kept in the loop throughout the project and any questions were promptly answered. It really was a pleasure to deal with Momentum Pools.

Why do you need so much information to match me?
Curved Arrow Icon

No two pools are the same, so we need to know a little about you and the location you plan to build in order to help you.

The pool build location

We ask for your address for the following reasons:

  • we want to match you with the best local pool builders
  • your property, pool positioning and soil conditions have a big impact on pricing and vary on every pool
  • pricing varies in different areas.

When you provide your address, we are able to assist you far more effectively and provide you with more accurate information.

Your personal details

Whilst Poolz gives you an instant price estimate, in order to get an accurate quote from a local builder, they need to get in touch with you to arrange a site inspection. Every pool build location is different and there isn’t a single pool builder who will provide an accurate quote without seeing your property.

With your permission, we share the information you’ve provided with the matched pool professionals to help kick-start your project quickly.

The pool details

Pools come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, and the pricing can vary significantly. By understanding your pool preferences and specific requirements, we can match you with builders who specialise in building the type of pool you desire. This ensures that you receive accurate quotes from builders who can bring your vision to life.

All the information we ask from you is necessary and helps to ensure we provide you with the best possible outcome. We don’t ask anything a pool builder won’t ask if you went directly to them. Rest assured that the information you provide is securely handled and used solely for the purpose of delivering the best pool-building experience for you.

Will my personal details be visible to everyone?
