If you’re looking for a company to build a top class, custom designed, state of the art swimming pool that is built to last, then look no further than Pioneer Pools.
We’re a family run business and the construction of swimming pools is in our blood. In fact since 1970 we have constructed over 2000 of them on South Island alone. To put it simply… what we don’t know about building swimming pools in Christchurch and the surrounding areas, probably isn’t worth knowing anyway!
So why else should you choose us?
Cutting edge swimming pool design technology puts us at the forefront of the industry. We only use shortcrete, a hard wearing sprayed concrete, in our constructions, and this guarantees longevity. We choose not to build fibreglass, Gunite or ‘in-ground’ swimming pools, preferring to leave that to other swimming pool designers and builders. Instead, we concentrate on doing what we do best, and that is constructing a great looking, top quality, long lasting pool that not only complements your property, but also adds real monetary value.
If you’re after a pool that not only fits your space and meets your requirements, but will give your family years of fun and enjoyment, then talk to us. Pioneer Pools excel at customised design. We have designed pools for many famous people and each one has had their own particular exacting standards, so meeting your specifications won’t be a problem. If you can imagine the swimming pool of your dreams, then in most cases, we have the ability to design and build it.
But wait… that’s not all…
The construction aspect of a top quality pool is only the beginning. You’ll also need a pumping and filtration system, as well as something to keep the debris out of the pool when not in use. Pioneer Pools can supply swimming pool pumps as well as swimming pool covers and we can also install pool heating equipment, so that you can use your pool for longer.
To give your pool the real WOW factor and make it stand out from the crowd, how about a state of the art sound and light system? We’ve got innovative lighting as well as speaker systems that float! Whatever your tastes, we have a wide selection of accessories to choose from.
Everything that we do is done with the customer in mind and customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. So when it comes to building your swimming pool, we will work closely with you to make sure that Pioneer Pools deliver you the pool of your dreams.
Finally, the company has a great deal of expertise in the field, and has built over 2000 swimming pools for a wide variety of customers. It does not matter what the specifications are as far as size and style. Pioneer swimming pools will not only be well-made using high quality materials, they will also be extremely aesthetic and sure to compliment the beauty of any home’s garden decor. Because Pioneer is dedicated to top quality work, the company will only build top end concrete swimming pools.
