We specialize in concrete swimming pool construction on the Sunshine Coast. We believe concrete is superior to other materials, offering greater flexibility, durability, and design freedom, allowing you to maximize every bit of space and create the perfect pool.
We organize a free on-site consultation to discuss your ideas and custom concrete swimming pool design, fencing, and any hardscape requirements as well as a budget for your project. We will note the access and location of services (storm water/sewer pipes).
Once you are satisfied with the quote, the details will be drawn up into a QBCC contract. This document indicates all the aspects of the pool construction process and clearly outlines all the financial aspects of the agreement. We then take care of the engineering and council building approvals through our private certifier. This process normally takes up to 4 weeks.
Once the approvals have been received, we will start the construction of your swimming pool. We meet on site and mark out your swimming pool ensuring you are happy with the positioning and dimensions. Once signed off, the excavation begins! The pool is dug to your chosen depth and size and gravel is laid at the bottom for drainage.
Our steel fixers will install a steel frame as per the engineers’ design which ensures structural integrity of the pool. The pipes are installed for water circulation (skimmer, return lines and mains drain) and electrical conduits for pool lighting, pumps and other equipment.
The steel-reinforced cage is then sprayed with 32MPA concrete to form the shell. The application is expertly done to ensure proper thickness, strength and finish. During this step, your chosen contours, benches and features are shaped.
Once your concrete shell has been given time to cure, your chosen coping is installed around the pools’ edge. A representative from our recommended supplier (The Pool Tile Company) will have met with you for colour selections. You may have also chosen a waterline tile which is installed around the pool perimeter for aesthetics and ease of maintenance.
We will install your external pool plumbing, lighting and filtration on a prepared concrete slab, ready for when your pool if filled with water.
At this time any decking, concreting or tiling can be completed. Due to strict Council regulations and safety laws, it is necessary to have the pool fencing in place prior to the application of your pool interior finish. Our certifier will inspect and approve the fencing and send through the necessary paperwork.
The final stages of the pool construction process have arrived. Our pebblecrete contractors will spray and trowel pebblecrete (mixture of cement and 1-2mm pebbles) to the floor and walls of your swimming pool to achieve the final design style. Once completed a light acid wash is carried out to expose the pebbles and then it’s time to fill!
Once the pool if full, we will do a complete handover, explaining in detail the correct procedure to care and maintain your pool water and equipment. You can now start enjoying the many benefits of having a swimming pool at home.
