How to choose the best pool design and construction professional for your project

ArchiPro features only the best pool design and construction professionals in Australia. Regardless, you will still have to narrow down the options. A good starting point is to look for pool and construction professionals who specialise in the kind of project you have in mind: similar environments, similar scope, and similar designs. You can do this by looking at their portfolio and testimonials from past projects, easily done on ArchiPro. You will then want to find a professional who you gel with, as you’ll be working together quite closely throughout the project. In order to figure this out, it’s a good idea to organise a meeting where you can ask a few questions:

  • How long have you been designing pools in Australia?
  • What does your design process entail and how involved will I be?
  • Do you also offer pool and spa supplies through your company?
  • Who else will be involved in this project?
  • What is your estimated cost and timeframe for this project?
  • Do you foresee any challenges in this project and how do you propose they are overcome?

Can an architect design a pool?

Yes, an architect can design a pool. However, an architect specialises in the design of buildings, and may not have the same breadth of knowledge as a pool design and construction specialist. The latter is a safer bet for ensuring your pool project goes off without a hitch.

Do you need planning permission to build a swimming pool?

Yes. Generally a building permit will be required in Australia in order to construct or install an in-ground swimming pool and the mandatory safety barrier that goes around it. Your pool design and construction professional is able to apply for this permit on your behalf.

Can registered builders install pools?

In some cases, yes. Generally, if a pool project costs over a certain amount to construct, the builder installing it will have to hold a special licence. Organising your pool’s construction through the company that designed it is often the easiest way to go.
