How long does a pool take to build?
Total Construction Time – 6-8 Weeks on Average.
The construction timeframe is dependant on weather and the amount of work involved. It takes approximately 4 weeks for council approval, once construction begins this could take about 6 to 8 weeks depending. Take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions to find out more or get in touch with one of our experts.
Our Location
Yes we can help with both. Pools by Design can recommend what fencing is required to satisfy the regulations and give you an approximate price for the fencing, which can be included into the pool pricing. Pools by Design can help you with general landscaping ideas and then organise an associated landscaper to finalise the design and provide you with a final price. Pools by Design will co-ordinate the timing of both the fencing and landscaping for your convenience.
The running of the filter pump is the main cost. A 750 watt pump will cost approximately 10c an hour to run and needs to run for approximately 6-8hrs per day for 365 days a year. The salt water chlorinator requires constant level of salt (approximately 1/10 the consistency of sea water). Rain water will dilute the salt level and most pools require approximately six bags of salt per year costing around $10/bag.
The total balance of water should be checked monthly; some stabiliser, bi-carb and calcium hardness may need to be added.
The average pool should cost approximately $450 to operate yearly.
The engineering and council approval will take approximately 3-4 weeks from the date the deposit is received.
The construction commencement onsite will start within 30 days from date of Development Permit being issued.
From start of construction to handover takes approximately 6-8weeks.
