Swimming Pool Construction Brisbane
Have your heart set on a swimming pool at home? With the construction of a new swimming pool, you’ll not only enhance the value of your property — and its appeal to homebuyers if you ever decide to sell — but you’ll also enliven and invigorate your lifestyle.
Leading pool builder, Bellevista Pools, specialises in the design and construction of inground swimming pools in Brisbane. With over 35 years of swimming pool construction and design experience, our fully qualified pool builders create beautiful swimming pools that make Brisbane, with its gorgeous climate that’s perfect for relaxing by the pool, the place to be.
The Bellevista Pools Process
From Concept To Completion
As Brisbane pool construction specialists, we combine innovative swimming pool designs with expert workmanship to create swimming pools that are defined by architectural excellence and incorporate the latest pool technology throughout the whole process. While timeframes will differ from project to project, we’re well-known for delivering fast turnaround times while ensuring no detail is ever overlooked.
Design Stage
We first meet with clients to inspect the proposed site and gain a comprehensive understanding of their requirements.
Approval Process
Both building approval and sewerage/water supply approval are required before construction work can get underway.
Construction Stage
After marking out the location and shape of the pool, excavation begins.
Pool Completion
After that comes the handover and you can start enjoying the many benefits of having a swimming pool at home.
Phase One
The Design Stage
Before pool construction gets underway, our swimming pool builders in Brisbane first meet with clients to inspect the proposed site and gain a comprehensive understanding of their requirements. In addition to discussing pool designs — your preferences and our recommendations — we also need to conduct a property assessment that includes a discussion and analysis of the following:
- Suitable locations and variables
- Aesthetics of the immediate area
- Current landscaping and future plans
- Existing services (electricity, gas, sewerage, water, etc.)
- Practical challenges
- Compliance issues
During the design stage, we’ll discuss all issues relevant to your pool construction project before presenting you with a design. The design isn’t finalised at this stage, we’ll continue to refine it until we’ve created a swimming pool design that ticks all your boxes.
The design stage is an important part of the process, as we need to make sure the design is accurate before seeking approval for the swimming pool construction. Brisbane clients will find we’re with you every step of the way throughout the design stage to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the design of your new pool before the approval process begins.
Phase Two
The Approval Process
Generally, council planning approval isn’t required for the construction of a residential swimming pool in Brisbane. However, some swimming pool construction projects may require local council approval due to zoning regulations. Both building approval and sewerage/water supply approval are required before construction work can get underway. Bellevista Pools will manage these approval applications on your behalf.
Phase Three
The Construction Stage
Once we’ve received the certification and approvals, the construction process begins. After marking out the location and shape of the pool, excavation begins, followed by:
- Safety fencing
- Formwork & steel fixing
- Plumbing installation
- Concrete pour
- Tiling, paving, etc.
- Electrical & equipment installations
- Permanent fencing
- Surface preparation
- Interior lining
- Final clean
- Fill and pH balance
- Handover
During the design stage, we’ll discuss all issues relevant to your pool construction project before presenting you with a design. The design isn’t finalised at this stage, we’ll continue to refine it until we’ve created a swimming pool design that ticks all your boxes.
The design stage is an important part of the process, as we need to make sure the design is accurate before seeking approval for the swimming pool construction. Brisbane clients will find we’re with you every step of the way throughout the design stage to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the design of your new inground pool before the approval process begins.
Phase Four
Pool Completion
After that comes the handover and you can start enjoying the many benefits of having a swimming pool at home.

Happy Customers
no hidden costs along the way
A fantastic experience from start to finish. I had several pool builders come and quote. Some didn’t respond back with a quote, others got the plans wrong or promised the world that ended up not being possible. I had a split level block with 900mm access with several underground sewer pipes. Richard was the only one who was straight talking, knew what he was doing and laid out clear plans that would work for the space. His contractors where all respectful and tidy, they all worked fast and in the time Richard had allowed. I decided to change our fencing half way though and Richard was very helpful and happy to adjust during the build. Richard and Paula are genuinely interested in making you the best pool for the money you want to spend. We had no hidden costs along the way. Would highly recommend.

2022accommodated our needs and wishes
From first contact through to the final handover Richard, Paula and all of the Bellevista staff were friendly and professional. The design and building process ran smoothly and we always felt we could ask questions and make decisions together. They accommodated our needs and wishes and we could not be more thrilled with the sparkling end result. We are so happy we decided to go with Bellevista Pools and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

2019you would be crazy to use anyone else!
Richard came recommended to us from our neighbour although we did get four other quotes we knew Richard was right because of the practical advice he gave us right from the start. You could tell he was personally invested in making sure that we received the best outcome within our budget. Thankfully, we made the right choice, from start to finish the build ran smoothly and we were impressed with the attention to detail, the advice provided and the little extra touches that made it, you would be crazy to use anyone else! Thankyou Richard and Paula, you have gone out of your way to ensure everything is perfect, we couldn't be happier with our new pool.

2022such a great builder to work with!
Well it’s been a couple of weeks now since work on our pool was completed and we wanted to sincerely thank you both for being such a great builder to work with! From start to finish your approach was professional, you gave us no-nonsense, fully disclosed information, and very competitive prices. We appreciated the fact that Richard was always on site whenever work was in progress, and that both yourselves and many others in your team are professional, easy to get along with and negotiate with, and are all looking to get the job finished with the best outcome for the client in mind. We love the finish, it looks fantastic, and the suggestion for the waterline tiles was brilliant - if we had not included them as per our original intention the pool would not look half as great as it does.

2021an absolute pleasure to deal with
We recently used Bellevista Pools to build our pool at our new home. From the outset, Richard was professional to deal with and offered us great advice on how to make our pool work in with how we wanted to live in our home. We built our pool at the same time as building our house and Richard worked in with our builder to ensure that both projects progressed to plan. Richard delivered on his promises each and every time and our pool is fantastic. Richard was flexible with any enhancements and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We have, and will continue to, recommend Richard and Bellevista pools to anyone considering a pool. Thanks Richard and Paula!

2019delivered a far superior end result
Bellevista Pools service and professionalism from our first enquiry right through to completion has been second to none. We instantly felt that dealing with Richard we would get a craftsman like finish. His willingness to take on all aspects of our pool construction combined with his knowledge and experience has delivered a project that we are absolutely delighted with. To know that you were dealing with the person who is actively involved in the construction process and not just a salesperson was very reassuring and we believe ultimately delivered a far superior end result. I would highly recommend Bellevista Pools to anyone who is after a top class job combined with excellent service and delivery.

2020no hesitation in recommending Bellevista
We would like to sincerely thank Bellevista Pools for the fantastic job in building our pool. This being our first pool, we had a lot of questions. Richard was extremely helpful and patient, and we appreciate that he took so much time and visited us regularly to answer our questions before we had even signed a contract. We never felt like we were dealing with a salesperson, but someone who truly wanted us to build the right pool to suit our family, and add value to our home. It was great to deal with one person from start to finish. Richard's experience, knowledge and professionalism was clearly evident, from conception and design, contact signing and construction. We have no hesitation in recommending Bellevista Pools to any new customer and are happy for our pool to be an example of the high-quality product you provide. Thank you for providing our family with such a beautiful pool.

2020Swimming Pool Construction FAQs
The pool building timeline varies depending on factors like size, design complexity, and local regulations. On average, the entire process can take several weeks to a few months from planning to completion. If you are renovating an existing pool, the same principle applies.
With our Brisbane swimming pool construction company, we will go over your predicted timeline in your initial quote and inform you of any changes immediately once construction is underway.
Your concrete pool build can be tailored in terms of shape, size, depth, and design features. You can choose from various surface finishes and integrate water features, pool fencing, lighting, and more to achieve the look and functionality you desire.
Our Brisbane pool builders offer design consultations to help you select the perfect design for your pool. We consider your preferences, backyard layout, and budget to create a pool that complements your property. As experts in the pool industry, you can trust our advice.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning, water chemistry balance, and equipment inspections, is essential to preserve the beauty and functionality of your pool, especially in the unpredictable Queensland weather. We use only high-quality materials and equipment, so you don’t need to worry about your dream swimming pool being unable to stand the test of time.
A concrete swimming pool does require more maintenance than fibreglass swimming pools, as their surface can be more susceptible to algae and staining. However, as one of the leading swimming pool companies in Brisbane, we can provide guidance on the proper care you need to ensure its longevity and continued enjoyment, so you can use your custom pool stress-free.
