New fibreglass pools in Berwick & the City of Casey.

What you get for $35K–$60K.

A standard 7–8m × 3.5–4m Australian-made fibreglass shell delivered to your block, crane-installed onto a properly screeded and drained sand bed, plumbed up with two skimmers, returns and a main drain, fitted with a variable-speed pump, cartridge filter and salt chlorinator. Includes precast concrete coping or bullnose paver edge, equipment slab and AS 1926 fence integration. Paving the surround typically adds $4K–$10K depending on material (concrete stamped, travertine, large-format porcelain). Fencing $6K–$12K depending on glass vs aluminium.

The shells we install.

• Compass Pools — Composite Armour shell with ceramic core, vacuum-infused for void-free construction. 25-year structural warranty. Wide range, premium tier.
• Leisure Pools — Vacuum-infused composite with vinyl ester resin, full ceramic core, 25-year structural warranty. Strong colour range.
• Narellan Pools — The Australian classic. 50+ shapes, mid-to-premium tier, established warranty network, dealer-installed.
• Plungie — Pre-cast concrete shell (not fibreglass strictly but installed the same way). For plunge-pool sizes 3–5m, premium finish, near-zero install complexity.

We’re manufacturer-independent — we install whichever shell suits your block, budget and shape preference. The site visit includes physical colour-swatch samples for at least two brands.

Install process.

1. Site prep: excavation to design depth + 200mm working clearance, with allowance for over-dig at the corners. Spoil carted offsite. 1–2 days.
2. Sand bed: 200–300mm of screeded crushed rock (not sand alone), laser-levelled to the shell’s base profile. Subsoil ag-drain on the downhill side, plumbed to a legal discharge point.
3. Crane install: shell craned in (over the house or down the side return) and set into position. 20–40 minutes for the lift.
4. Plumbing: skimmers, returns and main drain plumbed immediately while access is clear.
5. Backfill + fill: 100mm crushed rock backfilled around the shell as water fills the pool in stages. Critical — backfill must happen with water in the pool, not before.
6. Equipment + coping: equipment slab, pump and filter install, salt cell wiring, coping laid, paving and fence behind.
7. Commission + certify: AS 1926 fence inspection, water balance, automation programming, register lodgement.

Build timeline.

8–14 weeks from contract to first swim. Permit 4–6 weeks (we lodge while shell is being manufactured). Shell manufacture 2–6 weeks (depending on brand and colour). On-site install 2–3 weeks (dig, bed, crane, plumb, backfill). Coping and paving 1 week. Fence and equipment 1 week. Compared to 16–26 weeks for concrete — this is the speed advantage.

When fibreglass is the right call.

• Flat block with reasonable side or crane-over access.
• Standard shape works for you — rectangle, kidney, freeform, lap, plunge.
• 1.0–1.85m depth covers your needs (most family pools).
• Cost-conscious — save $15K–$25K vs equivalent concrete and put it into paving and landscaping.
• Faster build matters — you want to swim this summer, not next.

When concrete is the better call.

Sloping blocks, awkward shapes, wet-edge or feature-wall designs, depth beyond 1.85m, or just the visual difference of a fully tiled interior. We’ll say so at the site visit if your block fits the concrete profile better. See our new concrete pool builds →
