I'm struggling to justify Wisdom's costs. I've asked them to help me justify it but thought i'd ask here for other people experience? From what I have seen, Wisdom charges an exhorbitant premium for landscaping and pools. I understand some people value being able to move into a fully completed home, but at these prices it doesn't seem worth it at all. By the way have you considered putting in a fibreglass pool? They are easier to maintain than concrete and should cost less to install. Also I hear they keep the water a bit warmer than concrete. Would have to disagree on that one.The prices are certainly not that bad. Wisdom do charge a premium for a turn key product as you would expect them to but line their pool and landscaping prices up against mid tier pool builders or landscapes and they are pretty much the same. Absolutely you will get cheaper through places like Narellan Pools or Blue haven and that's great there is nothing wrong with them if thats what you want I would say Wisdom are also probably priced that way so not everyone does their landscaping through them. I don't they they have the capacity to be looking at small jobs here and there for every single build. You will find its a service they offer the those you are looking for a premium product and are happy to pay so they don't have to deal with the alternative of getting it done themselves afterwards This was actually one of the reason I chose Wisdom. I only have one throat to choke if there is an issue. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13719Dec 18, 2018 2:52 pm stevezau doosra We found wisdom prices not so bad for pool. For pool and pool equipment including electric heating, the cost came to about 54k. Wisdom had 5.5k landscape voucher so it came to probably just under 50k. I got a quote from blue haven and they were more expensive. I would not use them to do anything else as you'll find concreting and other landscape works like tiling much cheaper elsewhere. If u do it after and have no access then it will cost maybe another 9k or so on top for crane. stevezau Hi All, We are comparing quotes with Wisdom Pools vs others and it seems like all the others are coming in 20kish cheaper for an equal pool + equipment. I'm struggling to justify Wisdom's costs. I've asked them to help me justify it but thought i'd ask here for other people experience? Ours is the opposite?? For the pool, equipment, heater etc it came to 75k for a 5.5 by 3m pool.. Blue Haven came in at 55k for the exact same Mine is just basic rectangle 7 x 3m pool Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13720Dec 18, 2018 3:19 pm Hi everyone!
