Building a new concrete pool typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on factors like design complexity, site preparation, weather conditions, and permit approval.
So finally, you’ve taken the decision to build a concrete pool that promises endless enjoyment and a touch of luxury right in your backyard. But before you dive in, it's fair to wonder, how long does it take to build a concrete pool? Fear not! Estate Pools, your go-to custom concrete swimming pool builder in Sydney, is here to guide you through the exhilarating journey. So, let's unravel the timeline and steps involved in turning your dream pool into a reality!
Contact us as your custom concrete swimming pool builder, and we'll kick off the process with a discussion about your dream concrete pool. An on-site visit follows, allowing us to view the space, understand your requirements, and provide expert advice. Within 5 days, you'll have a detailed quote, ensuring we're on the same page with your vision.
Formal documentation takes part in this stage. A formal contract is established, marking the beginning of the allocated cooling-off period. Detail Design starts, and your pool specifications move through the approval process, either via Complying Development (CDC) or Council Development Application (DA).
The fun begins as construction kicks off. With the Construction Certificate in hand, your custom concrete swimming pool builder starts the excavation process. Depending on factors like site access and rock presence, this stage typically takes 3 days to 3 weeks. It's the first tangible step toward transforming your backyard.
Post-excavation, we move on to form-work and steel fixing, shaping the pool's structure. Plumbing and works for filtration, lighting, and heating are integrated behind the steel cage. As your custom concrete swimming pool builder, we ensure the structural integrity, allowing you to look at the final form of your pool.
Your pool takes shape with the concrete pour – a day of precision and craftsmanship. The curing process spans 28 days, during which your custom concrete swimming pool builder recommends a gentle hose-down routine to ensure the concrete gains full strength without developing cracks. The rough concrete shell will soon undergo a transformation with the next step.
With the concrete shell laid, it's time for aesthetics. Screed beds ensure smooth surfaces for pool coping and surrounds. Waterline tiles or a fully tiled interior are added, and your pool fencing is installed. Planning for fence installation is crucial to avoid delays in the final stages.
Close to our target, as we craft a smooth new pebble or glass interior. The pool equipment – pumps, filters, heaters, cleaners, and lighting – is carefully added. It's time to fill her up and witness your dream pool come to life.
Congratulations! We’ve made your dream concrete pool, crafted by your custom concrete swimming pool builder. Now it’s ready for making new memories. A final inspection by the Certifier culminates in the issuance of the Occupation Certificate. Estate Pools guides you through maintaining your pool's pristine condition and understanding its components.
Plan early for pool fence installation during stage 6.
Communicate with all involved parties to prevent unwanted delays.
Start the process in Autumn or Winter for a summer-ready pool.
Engage with the council early if a Council Development Application is necessary.
As your custom concrete swimming pool builder, Estate Pools ensures this journey is as smooth and enjoyable as the final plunge into your dream pool. Dive in, and let the transformation begin!
