About Fantasy Pools Brisbane

Fantasy Pools Brisbane is an independent website for Brisbane homeowners planning a concrete pool, whether that means a custom build, a plunge pool for a small yard or resurfacing an older pool. It is not a pool builder. The pages here help you work out which kind of concrete pool suits your block, what to check before you sign with a builder and where to start. A good first step is to compare the pool types against your yard size, slope and budget.

Who this site is for

This site suits Brisbane homeowners who are thinking about a concrete pool and want clear, plain information before they talk to a builder. You might be planning a first pool in Carindale or Kenmore, fitting a plunge pool into a tight Bulimba backyard, or looking at a tired pool that needs a fresh surface.

It is also for people who are not sure yet which option fits. If you are still weighing up your options, the pages here explain the choices in plain terms.

How the site helps with your concrete pool

Choosing a pool type

Concrete pools come in more forms than many people expect. Custom builds, precast shells, plunge pools, pool and spa combinations, sloping block designs and above ground concrete pools each suit different yards and budgets. The services page sets them out side by side so you can narrow down what fits your home.

Understanding your suburb

Ground conditions, fall and machinery access differ across Brisbane, and they shape how a pool gets built. The service areas page covers the Brisbane suburbs this guide talks about and the local points worth thinking about.

Licensed and insured local contractors

Your pool should be built by licensed and insured pool builders. Before you agree to any work, ask the builder for their licence details and look them up on the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) online licence search. It takes a few minutes and confirms the licence is current and matches the work you need.

It is also worth asking for proof of insurance and getting the scope of work in writing, so you can compare quotes on the same terms.

Where to start

Begin with the decisions only you can make: roughly where the pool would sit, how much of the yard you want to give to it, and whether you want a spa, a plunge pool or a full size pool. A note on access for machinery, such as side gate width, is useful too.
