What Happens at Handover?
Do I need to organise different trades myself?
Our team includes all the key trades needed to complete your plunge pool installation, meaning you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. If you’re planning permanent fencing, landscaping or decking, we can help guide and coordinate those next steps to bring your whole backyard vision together.
Because the pools are precast in fixed moulds, we can’t alter the shape or dimensions. We’ll work with you to select the best size and layout for your backyard and tailor the surrounds, finishes and equipment to suit your style.
Can the pool design be customised?
How long does the permit process take?
Most standard building permits are issued within 4–8 weeks. Where planning permits, overlays, or additional approvals are required, the timeframe can be longer. We manage this process for you and keep everything moving as smoothly as possible.
