Re: Building Concrete Pool with Blue Haven 15Oct 18, 2022 10:28 pm ![]() Starting back the update after a long time. Update as of now - After surrounding tiles been done, I also got my Boundary fence height extended to follow the compliance as well installation of glass fencing completed. Got some good contractors to support Electricals, Plumbing, Fencing (Colorbond and Glass) & Tiling. This was the time, I notified Blue Havens that they can resume the work. 1st the Blue Haven pool equipment arrived and installation done. While I looked at the size of pool equipment I realized I have done big mistake in selecting the space the pool equipment will go as they are massive and cannot fit in the standard pool equipment enclosure. Due to ongoing rain the internal lining work got delayed. However, the 4 days of clear weather forecast and Blue Haven team arrived on site. Did the Acid wash of pool inside and then performed the Pebblecrete work. Total took three ays of work and now pool is in process of filling water. Pool equipments will be made function probably sometime this week (hopefully rain wont be delaying the same) During this period I also got into some of projects to complete the decking myself, installation of Awning roller blind. I am also trying to build the pool equipment enclosure myself. As of yet it looks awful but with time will go for the finishing touches ![]() Tile work - Internal + ExternalLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Tile work - Internal + ExternalLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Tile work - Internal + ExternalLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Tile work - Internal + ExternalLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Glass FencingLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Glass FencingLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Glass FencingLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool Equipment InstallationLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool EquipmentLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool Interior - Pebblecreting Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool Interior - Pebblecreting Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool Interior - Pebblecreting Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Before the decking Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ After deckingLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pool Equipment Enclosure - Work in ProgressLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Looks fantastic Vin!

Thanks for your insights… I was looking at their packages but was a bit weary. Any other lessons learnt? Hey Chris, thanks mate. Learnings were fairly straight forward: 1. Whatever you want to negotiate do it during your Sales discussion. Any variation after that will be fairly expensive. 2. Blue Haven quote dose not consider the following as standard so do plan for them on your own or if you want have that negotiated on subsidized cost:
3. The quote of Blue Haven consider coping of 200 mm and you will not find standard tiles for Coping thus do negotiate on 400 mm coping. Because 200 mm size tiles are non standard and may become expensive if you are planning to do big area. 4. Build good relationship with the Pre Construction and Construction team and follow up consistently for them to move with speed. Last, if you are flexible in regards of their trade people to come on short notice, that will move your work quick. As if the trades get free from some site they always prefer to do one more same day. In general their package prices are really good. As well their Trade people are really good and I cant complaint anything at all. My experience in person have been fantastic with them so far. If you have anything specific let me know and I will try to share my experience with you. CHeers Vivek Vin I’m just in the process of replacing 2 stud walls that have been severely damaged by termites and am planning to use h2 blue pine. I just wanted to if anyone can advise… 0 53571 |
