Our Process

We take care of everything—from the first chat to the final concrete finish. Our team handles every step in-house, making the entire process smooth, efficient, and personalised.

  • Free Consultation – On-site visit with practical advice.
  • Planning & Drafting – Designed to suit your space and layout.
  • Excavation & Earthworks – Completed with our own equipment.

We also handle all the behind-the-scenes essentials. This includes organising council approvals, issuing Home Warranty Insurance Certificates, and professionally installing your pool’s plumbing and filtration systems.

We provide full-service fibreglass pool installations, including earthworks, council approvals, plumbing, and concrete finishes. Every stage is completed by our team to ensure quality, consistency, and peace of mind.

Planning Pools Around Your Property

Not all yards are created equal — and that’s where having the right installer makes a difference. Our team works with the natural layout of your Forster property, adjusting plans where needed to create a pool space that feels intentional and integrated. Whether the site is flat or requires excavation, we take care of everything from start to finish.


Excavation and earthworks are carried out using our own machinery, which keeps things on schedule and allows us to maintain full control over the preparation stage. We help you choose from a wide range of Tranquility Pools designs and interior finishes, then complete the surrounds with concrete in your choice of texture and colour. Filtration, plumbing, and handover are all managed by our team, keeping the process smooth and efficient.


For local homeowners wanting a space that looks great and works well long term, this is a pool installation service designed to tick every box.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need council approval to install a fibreglass pool?

    Yes, council approval is typically required before installing a fibreglass pool. This ensures the installation meets all safety, zoning, and environmental regulations for your area. A good pool builder will handle the approval process for you, including submitting plans, securing permits, and scheduling inspections. It’s an important step that helps avoid legal issues or delays once the project starts.

  • What factors should I consider before choosing a pool design?

    Selecting a pool design isn’t just about looks — it’s about how the pool fits into your yard and lifestyle. You’ll need to consider available space, site access, soil type, and how the pool will be used (e.g., for family recreation, exercise, or entertaining). Shape and depth are also important. It helps to work with a builder who offers tailored advice based on your property and practical needs, not just product options.

  • Can fibreglass pools be installed on sloped blocks?

    Yes, fibreglass pools can be installed on sloped blocks, but they require careful planning and preparation. Excavation and retaining may be needed to create a stable base. In some cases, extra structural support or modified installation techniques are used. A skilled team with access to their own equipment can manage these challenges effectively, allowing homeowners on uneven ground to still enjoy a functional and great-looking pool.

  • Is it possible to add heating to a fibreglass pool later?

    Yes, heating can be added after installation, though many homeowners choose to incorporate it from the start to avoid extra work later. Fibreglass pools are compatible with various heating options, including electric heat pumps, solar systems, and gas heaters. If future heating is a possibility, it's worth mentioning during the planning stage so provisions for plumbing and equipment can be made, saving time and cost later on.
