Pool Designers and Installers

Creating an oasis in the backyard can completely change the way a home is experienced and used - particularly when a pool becomes part of the mix. With so many options available from natural and living pools to saltwater or chlorinated, the options are vast. This is why the services of a pool designer can become invaluable. 

Pool designers often offer building and installation services, while some also offer a full project management option, and will generally work in conjunction with architects, landscape architects and designers and builders.

What are the benefits of hiring a pool designer?

Unless a pre-built pool is being purchased, the services of a pool designer can be invaluable in achieving the best design outcome - they will help to guide you through the options, from fibreglass to concrete and saltwater to chlorine.

With pool technology and building methodology continuing to evolve at pace, the options for swimming pools are vast, with everything from plunge pools to living pools and container pools an option.

The best pool for your space will depend on various factors including the size of the site, the allocated budget, the intended use and any restrictions that exist in relation to pools in your area. 

A pool designer will help to guide you through the process, covering everything from the maintenance and heating options through to covers and the type of water used - all factors that can greatly impact the ongoing cost of pool ownership over time.

5 questions to ask a pool designer:

1. Can I see a portfolio of your work?

2. Do you foresee any challenges with my site and if so, how would you overcome those?

3. Do you offer project management services for the build/installation phase?

4. How long do you expect the design (and build) to take?

5. What are your particular areas of expertise in regards to pool design?
