Many home owners enjoy a swimming pool in their backyard. Those who switch homes and their new property is lacking a pool, may decide to have one installed. They will hire a company specializing in concrete swimming pools construction to complete the job.
Concrete swimming pools in Melbourne are quite popular. That does not mean that you have to hire the first company making you a decent offer. Be careful in your selection process, and follow the next nine tips if you want to prevent disappointments.
Tip #1 – Survey your property so you can figure out exactly where the best place is for your swimming pool. Make sure that the area is well protected from nosy neighbours. Avoid areas with a lot of trees and shade. You want a lot of sun, and very few leaves and twigs in your pool.
Tip #2 – There are many models of concrete pools that will look good in your backyard. Think about the shape that would suit your lifestyle and property best. Will you use it to swim laps, or purely to play in? Will you allow children in your pool? You can sketch your preferred pool shape on a piece of paper, or spray paint it on the ground in the area you have in mind. Select different paint colours for the actual pool and the surrounding deck.
Tip #3 – Request free consultations from several contractors. They should visit your home to inspect your backyard, and discuss your options with you. Only contact specialists in concrete swimming pools construction who:
- Are licensed and insured
- Can provide current referrals
- Gladly show pictures of their completed projects
- Have been operating for several years
- Are members of both SPASA and H.I.A.
Tip #4 – Discuss your ideas with the various pool construction contractors. Show them your sketches, drawings and designs. Ask them as many questions as possible, and write down the answers so they will be easier to remember. Inquire how long the project will take, if they can give you recommendations, and what type of warranty they offer.
Tip #5 – Review and compare the proposals you received from the companies supplying concrete pools in Melbourne. Not only look at the quoted price, but also the services they provide for that amount. While some companies may be cheaper, they may not deliver the same quality craftsmanship.
Tip #6 – Select the 2 or 3 most appealing proposals. Contact the references of these particular suppliers of concrete swimming pools in Melbourne, and verify that these references are real and these contractors are in fact worth pursuing.
Tip #7 – Make your final selection. Keep in mind that the lowest price may not always offer you the best value.
Tip #8 – Contact the concrete swimming pools firm of your choice and set a construction starting date that is convenient for both you and the pool company.
Tip #9 – You can supervise and inspect the pool installation, but do not bother the workers whenever you see something you do not like or understand. Address any concerns to the project manager or foreman. He can explain to you in detail what the workers are doing and why. He can also keep you informed about the various construction stages, and can tell you when you can expect to take your first dip in your new concrete swimming pool.
