Our 6-Step Installation Process

Building a lap pool involves careful planning and precision at every stage. Here’s how our process works

1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

The process begins with a detailed consultation and on-site assessment. Our team evaluates the property layout, soil conditions, and available space, taking precise measurements to determine the most suitable pool size, placement, and orientation for your backyard.

2. Custom Design & Planning

Once the site details are clear, we move into the design phase. A custom lap pool plan is developed to suit your lifestyle, fitness goals, and budget. At this stage, we finalise choices such as pool materials, depth, heating options, and additional features, ensuring everything is tailored to your needs.

3. Permits & Approvals

Before construction begins, all required council permits and approvals are managed on your behalf. We ensure that your lap pool project complies with local building codes and safety regulations to eliminate delays and giving you peace of mind.

After approvals, excavation begins. The ground is carefully prepared and reinforced to match the exact dimensions of your pool design. This step ensures structural stability and provides a strong foundation for long-term durability.
