Living Pools

Do I need Development Approval (DA) to build a pool?

Not always. In many cases, we work with a private certifier to obtain Building Approval through a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), which can reduce council fees and avoid unnecessary delays. If a DA is required, we guide you through that process as part of the project.

How long does it take to build a custom concrete pool?

Most concrete pools take approximately 3–4 months from the commencement of site works to completion. Timeframes can vary depending on site conditions, approvals and selected finishes, but we plan carefully to keep the installation process moving efficiently.

Can I reduce chlorine or chemicals in my pool?

Yes. We offer several options to minimise chemical use. This includes fully biological living pools with no chlorine, as well as ozone systems and magnesium options that reduce chemical reliance while supporting water clarity and swimmer comfort.

Can my pool be heated for year-round use?

Yes. We install energy-efficient heat pumps that allow you to extend your swimming season or maintain comfortable water temperatures throughout the year, depending on your preferences.

Can you build on a sloping or difficult site?

Yes. Concrete pools are free-standing structures, which makes them well-suited to sloping blocks, acreage properties and complex sites. With the right structural design, we can construct pools at varying heights and shapes without relying on large retaining structures.
