When the temperature cranks up come Spring and Summer, there’s only one type of business in more demand than ice creameries...and that’s pool builders! If you’ve left it until the Summer months to reach out for pool building services—when the thermometer’s topping the 30’s and 40’s—it could be too late. When you’re looking to have a spa or pool installed at your home, it pays to plan ahead and get in early.

Aside from designing and installing pools, pool builders can help with a whole range of related services including renovations, repairs, decorative and protective treatments, lighting and a whole lot more. You may even find that leak detection, plumbing and additional excavation services are available—depending on the capabilities of the provider.

A typical pool build will need to go through council before commencing. Once the paperwork is signed-off, the build’s ready to commence!

Your pool builder will begin by excavating the area. It’s important to ensure they have the right equipment to access the site—this becomes more of a factor when your home is located in metro areas where access can be limited. Then comes the steel-fixing, where reo is tied together and placed in the excavated site to form the support for the next stage—concrete pouring and curing. All external plumbing will then be organised along with coping and any decorative elements.

Your pool builder will also be able to install your pool fencing, which is a necessity under Queensland Law. They’ll be familiar with the building code, so they can walk you through your options—homeowners typically prefer something minimalistic, that integrates with their building.

After landscaping and fence inspection, you’ll be ready to enjoy the fruits of your labour sipping margheritas whilst floating on your flamingo, doughnut or inflatable pirate ship! To make sure your enjoying Summer in comfort; find a local Hervey Bay pool builder today!
