Questions clients ask when building a concrete swimming pool
What are the most expensive parts of building a concrete swimming pool?
Getting a pool to concrete stage is approximately 50-60% of the overall costs. This entails excavation and spoil removal, steel reinforcement and the concrete spray and shape. This process normally takes around 5-10 days to complete.
How can you reduce the cost of building a concrete swimming pool?
Obviously the larger the pool size and associated works (e.g Surround Concreting & Paving external to the Coping, type and amount of Pool Fencing, Water Features etc) the greater the costs. So give plenty of thought into how you wish to use the pool and the pool area, rather than just trying to “fill” an area in your yard. Simply by reducing the pool by a linear metre or two, can save thousands of dollars.
Should we heat our concrete pool?
Heating (normally through the use of a Heat Pump) is becoming more popular year by year. While most people wish to simply extend their swimming season (able to use a smaller sized Heat Pump), others want to be able to swim all year round (normally requires larger Heat Pump & a Pool Cover). It does however obviously add to your costs if you are building a new pool, with many people opting to use their pool for 12 months to see if they really need to heat it. With the use of a controller, it is very simple to add the heating system (just make sure your Builder leaves enough space at the Filtration Area) at a later date.

What is the best sanitation system for a concrete pool?
All pools will have a water pump, a filter (Cartridge or Media Filter) and some form of a sanitiser. You have various options when it comes to the sanitising of your pool, ranging from a standard chlorine fed pool (via hand or a Dosing System), salt water system (generating Chlorine), mineral system (using Magnesium etc to generate Chlorine) to “fresh water” pools (systems like Enviro Swim, Naked Pools etc). Each system has its own pro’s & con’s (initial price, running costs etc) and it really comes down to the individual’s choice. However mineral systems are fast becoming the preferred method for maintaining the water quality in pools. There are numerous mineral systems available, with the main difference being the blend and percentage of minerals like salt, magnesium, potassium etc.
Shayne and I would just like to thank you both in helping us achieve our dream of pool ownership.
Even with mother nature not being so friendly at the start, we can sincerely say you have delivered us an exceptional family pool which will be enjoyed for many years to come.... in fact it didn't take long before we were enjoying it after we had tested at the pool shop. (400mls of acid, a bit of a wait and we were off)
We really appreciate the tremendous work and patience put in and thanks you
We just wanted to write you a short thank you message to say how happy we are with the final result of our pool and spa. The whole family absolutely loves it and we could not be happier!
We really appreciate the way yourself and Brent went the extra mile to explain all our options and give us honest advice. This really helped us get the amazing finish we wanted for the pool and spa.
Thanks
Writing to thank you very much for the terrific service you & Brent provided through the whole process from design through to completion of our pool. All your explanations were clearly communicated, we were kept informed of each activity prior to taking place & the staff working on site were respectful & professional. This I the first time we have installed a pool & we appreciated your knowledge, experience & advice which certainly made the undertaking less stressful. We are beyond happy with the our summer resort. Will definitely recommend Ecopools to anyone we know thinking about a pool for their backyard!
Thanks to you & the team we are going to enjoy the summer more than ever!
Here is picture of my lunch break today enjoying our little resort at home.
Cheers
Honesty/integrity – our excavation costs worked out lower than expected by around $2,000 – you passed on all of this saving to us, we reduced the length of the wall dimension after contract stage reduced the price without fuss and you included silicon work which was not specified in the contract without additional cost to ourselves.
Thank you again – we couldn’t recommend you enough – our pool building experience was amazing and we enjoy the end result many times a day (and night with the incredible LED lighting)!!!
We will certainly be recommending Eco Pool Solutions to our friends and acquaintances who are considering putting in a pool and would be very happy to provide references to any of your prospective clients.

How much does it cost to build a pool?
A pool is always a great investment – not only does it add to quality bonding time, great parties, and help you achieve a healthier lifestyle, it helps add value to your property. Sounds great, right? So how much does it cost to build a pool in Brisbane?
The average cost to get a pool built in Brisbane is between $40,000 and $80,000. Obviously the cost of your swimming pool depends heavily on a number of factors. Here are some of the many common factors that contribute to your pool building costs:
01. Pool Size
The bigger the pool, the more costs it can incur.
02. Electricity and Plumbing
Pool filtration units, pipes, switch boxes come into play – how big, how far, how much and what the city council require – are all taken into cost.
03. Job site accessibility
Is the site of your pool accessible? Not only does location matter, the type of equipment needed to excavate and move the soil out also matters. The type of soil also needs to be considered as it also can determine the type of equipment to use.
04. Tiles, Interior, and Landscaping
These details such as pavers and tiles add both style and function.
Other factors include pool fencing, boundary fencing, pool site levels, and even pool extras such as slides, water features, spas etc. add up to your building costs.
