We are considering a small pool but would have access issues after the build which would be more costly... We thought of the same thing when the slab was down. We didnt ask Beechwood but the pool builder said they have dealt with beechwood before and the answer is no. This was on the central coast so not sure if its the same for you. I would ask anyway. We are now going to wait until handover. Thanks Grace33, we're up on Lake Macquarie so guess that would be the same for us the sadly, though that might be their position on this I will maybe put the question to them on the basis of this being a deciding factor of the builder we go with, see if they will show any flexibility. Thanks for letting me know your experience so I know what to expect! No worries. Let me know how it goes. I hope they let you. It would be so much easier before the build. Good luck! [/quote] Surly if the pool is 3 meters from the house this should be fine. We have quite a bush block and only need to clear 3 meters around the proposed building for them to complete the build. Unless it's an insurance thing they can't have people walking through their building site.

If it's done before beechwood do site survey or contours and it's fully completed it shouldn't be an issue but will delay the build. In the Shoalhaven they advised us that they wouldn't take liability to structures etc within 3mt from the building line. We tried to get a deck done at the same time as the build and it all came down to beechwood WHS and insurance about other non approved contractors on site. If it's fully completed prior I wouldn't see it being an issue as its classified as current works on the block.

We are considering a small pool but would have access issues after the build which would be more costly... I know here in the illawarra there is a BH that had a pool installed prior to the build. It was all fenced (?temporary)and everything before build started. In saying that this house has had a lot of delays as their slab was poured the day before ours and is still under construction now. Doubt its got anything to do with the pool though.
