Important Sizing Considerations for Richmond
Leave Room for Pool Surrounds
Plan for at least 1-1.5m around the pool for decking, paving, and landscaping. This affects your usable swimming area.
Council Setback Requirements
Most Melbourne councils require pools to be at least 900mm-1200mm from boundary fences. Check your local requirements.
Equipment Access
Ensure you have at least 900mm access to your pool equipment area for maintenance. This affects pool placement.
Sun Exposure
Position pools to maximize sun exposure during swimming season. North-facing pools in Richmond get the most sun.
Pro Tip: Get a Professional Site Assessment
The best pool builders in Richmond will visit your property and recommend the ideal pool size based on your specific site conditions, block shape, slope, and how you plan to use the pool. What works on a 400m² block in one suburb might not work on a 400m² block in another due to shape, slope, or council requirements.
Avoid These Mistakes
10 Pool Installation Mistakes That Cost Richmond Homeowners Thousands
Learn from others' expensive mistakes - avoid these common pitfalls
1
Not Checking for Rock Before Quotes
Rock excavation costs $150-$300+/m³. Can add $10k-$30k to your project.
Get a soil test BEFORE quotes. Ask if rock is included or an "extra".
2
Choosing Cheapest Quote
Save $5k upfront, spend $20k fixing structural issues later.
Verify licenses. Compare 3+ quotes. Middle quote often best value.
3
Forgetting Ongoing Costs
Expect $1.5k-$3k/year for chemicals, electricity, water & maintenance.
Ask for annual cost estimates. Variable speed pumps save $400-$800/year.
4
Poor Equipment Access
Inaccessible equipment costs $5k-$15k to remove later.
Ensure 900mm+ clear access. Plan placement during design phase.
5
Underestimating Landscaping
Surrounds often equal the pool cost. Budget $20k-$50k extra.
Get itemized quotes for pool AND surrounds. Package deals save 10-20%.
6
Ignoring Sun & Wind
Poor positioning reduces usability by months per year.
Maximize northern sun. Get professional site assessment.
7
Skipping Pool Inspections
Hidden issues in existing pools cost $10k-$40k to fix.
Get specialist inspection ($300-$600) before buying property with pool.
8
Not Checking Council First
Redesigning wastes 4-8 weeks + $1.5k-$3k in fees.
Check Melbourne council guidelines FIRST. Good builders know local rules.
9
Wrong Pool Type for Site
Wrong choice leads to $15k-$50k repairs within 5-10 years.
Insist on soil testing. Let site conditions guide pool type choice.
10
Not Getting It In Writing
Verbal promises mean nothing. Legal battles cost thousands.
Detailed contracts for everything. If not written, it doesn't exist.
The Smart Way to Avoid These Mistakes
Get expert advice before you commit
Compare multiple licensed, experienced pool builders in Richmond. Ask detailed questions about these common issues. The right builder will proactively address all these concerns before you even ask.
Get Quotes from Trusted Richmond Pool Builders Pool Terminology
Pool Installation Terms for Richmond Homeowners
Understanding the terminology helps you make informed decisions
Fibreglass Pool
A pre-manufactured pool shell made from fibreglass-reinforced plastic, delivered in one piece. Fastest installation (2-4 weeks) and lowest maintenance option.
Concrete Pool (Gunite/Shotcrete)
A custom-built pool where concrete is sprayed (gunite=dry, shotcrete=wet) over a steel rebar frame. Allows any shape or depth. Takes 8-12 weeks to construct.
DA / CDC Approval
Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) - mandatory council approval required before pool construction. CDC is faster (10 days) but has stricter requirements than DA (4-8 weeks).
Pool Coping
The cap or edge around the pool that covers the pool shell's top edge. Materials include pavers, natural stone, concrete, or bullnose tiles. Provides a finished look and safe edge for swimmers.
