Quick Budget Pool Facts

A fully installed fibreglass pool in NSW generally costs between $45,000 and $75,000, with entry-level options from around $25,000 and premium installations exceeding $95,000. Drawing from over 30 years in the pool building industry, these prices reflect complete professional installation including the pool shell, excavation, plumbing, electrical work, and essential equipment. The wide price range accommodates various pool sizes, site conditions, and feature selections to suit different budgets and requirements.

Key factors influencing pool costs include site accessibility, ground conditions, pool size and features, plus ancillary requirements like fencing and landscaping. Easy access sites with standard soil conditions fall at the lower end of the pricing spectrum, while challenging sites requiring extensive excavation, rock breaking, or retaining walls can add $10,000-$20,000. Additional features like heating systems ($3,000-$5,000), automated cleaning ($2,500-$4,000), and LED lighting ($1,500-$2,500) enhance functionality but increase investment.
