Ask us about your project
Why choose a concrete pool?
Concrete pools offer flexibility in shape, size, depth and finish, making them a strong option when you want the pool to feel designed specifically for your home and outdoor space.
How much does a concrete pool cost in Sydney?
The overall project cost depends on the pool size, site access, ground conditions, engineering, finishes and surrounding outdoor works. Waterhaus helps define the design and project scope so the requirements are clearer before construction pricing is finalised.
How long does it take to design and prepare a pool project?
Timing varies depending on the complexity of the design, site requirements, engineering and approvals. Waterhaus guides the project through these early stages so it is properly prepared before construction begins. The construction timeline is then confirmed for the build stage.
Can Waterhaus help with the pool design?
Yes. Custom pool design is a core part of the Waterhaus service. We consider the home, available space, site conditions, lifestyle and overall outdoor environment so the pool feels connected to the property and can be properly prepared for construction.
Do you work with outdoor living areas as well as pools?
Waterhaus takes a broader view of the backyard experience. Where appropriate, the pool can be considered alongside entertaining areas, landscaping and the way the outdoor space connects back to the home.
What happens during the first consultation?
The first conversation is about understanding your property, what you want from the pool, how your family uses the outdoor space and what matters most to you. From there, the next steps can be discussed based on the project.
Can you renovate an existing pool?
Depending on the existing pool and its condition, Waterhaus can help plan a renovation around layout, finishes, features and the surrounding outdoor space. Once the renovation scope is ready, the construction requirements can be reviewed for delivery.
Who builds the pool once the design is ready?
When the project is ready for construction, Waterhaus works alongside Ibiza Lifestyle Pools, the specialist construction team responsible for the concrete pool build, finishes and final handover.
What information should I prepare before contacting Waterhaus?
It helps to have your property address, an idea of the space available, photographs, any existing plans and an indicative project budget. You can still get in touch if you are only beginning to explore options.
Does Waterhaus design pools across the Central Coast and Newcastle?
Waterhaus welcomes enquiries from Sydney, the Central Coast and Newcastle. Project suitability and the next steps can be discussed during your initial consultation.
Does the indicative budget in the form represent a fixed pool price?
No. The budget options help us understand your expectations and project scope. They are not quotes or guaranteed starting prices. Final costs depend on site requirements, design, construction and inclusions.
