How much for a pool?

danrts · Nov 08, 2009 11:05 am

Quoted:
10x3 rectangular concrete pool. white pebble/5% blue crystal
1.2m shallow. 1.75m deep end.
coping tile 400x400
Zodiac pool pump/chlorinator
$30,400.

300mm tile band - extra $3120
2x1m water feature - extra $2200

Was told as pool builders charge per linear meter once you go beyond the simple rectangle eg. L shape, it starts to add significantly to cost without increasing the actual size of the pool itself much.

Thats the problem with up this way. If its anything below 25 its too cold to swim.

I know. We are true Melbournians now. We used to live in Brisbane and wore sweaters if it was 20 degrees. Now we are swimming!

Would you mind PM'ing me who that's with (if you are in VIC that is) ? I have a couple of quotes on my 8x4 metre pool (less lineal metres than a 10x3) and that price seems very competitive.

Could you also personal message me with the name of that concrete pool company in Vic pls? Many thanks

We are currently getting quotes for an 8x4 freeform concrete pool and quotes are coming in around mid $30's in Melbourne. Includes everything for the pool incl lights (excludes coping though, but will lay it for us). Cost of fencing, paving and other landscaping is NOT included and according to our costings we will be looking at around another $15-20k for what we want (nothing extravagant)...LOL. Hope this helps someone out.

Damn that's cheap ! If you're in Melbourne, you can PM me also

At that price it's almost worth getting someone else to build it !

danrts - Do you know the individual prices for the plumbing, pumping and cleaning system?
Might be good to know seperate the costs.

Friend of mine in Melbourne went with Reef Pools <http://reefpools.net>
She shopped around and found these were the cheapest. Theirs was around $20k including installation, but was about 4 years ago.

Bumping this again...

anyone know the average per lineal metre?

looking at something about 8x4 in size so 24 lineal metres...

Brisbane recommendations and pricing would be good...

We paid 64K for our concrete 8x4 pool, fully tiled, solar heating, 1 metre walkways, tiles are travertine, semi frameless glass fencing, electricals, 2 lights......in Sydney. It was fairly average on the quotes. I had 7 pool builders quote on it.

Has anyone had any quotes on natural pools at all? I'm interesting in building one

onc_artisan · Mar 21, 2015 3:53 pm

Just wondering how natural you want it and what the topography is like(beneficial) but then there is something like this: although not quite what I would call natural http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv70/onc_artisan/13.jpg

I'd really like something like this: just a small plunge with the natural edging

Wouldn't use anything other than waterco pool pumps and filters. Asx listed Aussie company
