The pool is a must-have in Sydney. We are a water-loving city, from the beaches to the backyard, and this home mainstay is the perfect way to refresh on these gnarly summer days. Yep, if you’ve been thinking about ways to amplify your home entertainment whilst increasing your property’s value, nothing beats the perfect piscina!
But how do you find the right professional? How do you enlist the team that’s going to bring endless refreshment to your garden?
Here are some tips for finding the ultimate pool builders:
Check out their website
The best pool builders Sydney has will naturally have a solid website. After all, you probably wouldn’t go with a team whose site looks like it was made in the 90s – you couldn’t be sure they were still a business! Yes, in 2023, the mark of a passionate, serious company is one who maintains a professional website, detailing everything from their experience to their services, portfolio and more.
This is the first place to start – if they have a good website, chances are they are serious about their craft!
How much experience do they have?
Any professional should have ample experience in their repertoire. After all, this is a serious job that entails both design and construction, and it is not something you can just pick up overnight. Each professional must undergo an extensive apprenticeship to ensure that they are equipped with the skills, knowledge and safety standards to perform this taxing role.
So, the next thing you need to ask when choosing your expert is this: how long have they been in the business and how much experience does this equate?
Do they have a nice portfolio?
A portfolio is the perfect way to see if the team’s designs align with your grand vision. Naturally, different companies offer different styles, and you might find that although one team ticks particular boxes (location, experience etc.) they might not create designs that you want for your home. So, checking out their online portfolio is one of the best ways to see that you and the expert are going to see eye-to-eye from consultation to completion!
Are they a local builder?
This works for two reasons, the first being that you obviously want to enlist someone who isn’t located on the other side of town from your home! After all, that can make things incredibly inconvenient, and it is likely a non-local team won’t take up the job.
Second, local teams always take far greater pride in their offering, as they want to see their area beautified. And, obviously, it’s going to be good for their portfolio if they continue to provide expert craftship in the local area!
When can they start?
Because you’re likely hoping to get this going so that you can enjoy a refreshing dip come summertime! You don’t want to be sitting around throughout summer, wishing your builders could have started months earlier. Not only will you not have an uber-refreshing pool to enjoy, but you likely won’t be able to enjoy your garden at all, not with tradies coming and going and making endless racket on what could be a peaceful sunny pool day.
So, finally, you need to check with the builder and see when they can start. Teams often have varying time frames depending on their scope, so you should always check that they will be ready to go within a period suitable for your swimming needs!
